(15,396 posts)20. I'm going to go ahead and recommend a sidearm for HD without any other comments.
For Home defense I prefer a pistol that doesn't need to sleep in a holster, all the slab sided semi-autos for me at least require a holster if they're going to be easily accessible. That for me means a DA/SA or even a pistol with a manual safety. My preferred pistol is the CZ p-09 or even the Glock 19 sized P-07. These can be configured as either DA/SA or SA with a safety, I left mine with the decocker DA/SA setup.
It gives me comfort knowing that first trigger pull requires a little more than that of the glocks, after that the SA pull is around 4.5# and the decocker makes it easy to drop the hammer making the unit double action again.
CZ is really the ignored jewel of the handgun world in the USA.

Is it your opinion that a gun kept in the home is more dangerous to the occupants...

Glocks, Springfields, the Smith & Wesson M&P, the FN FNS, etc. are all good choices.
