My response to "bumps in the night" would generally be my 12ga. High Standard (pump) riot shotgun.. I think a good 12ga. trumps night sights on any pistol/revolver.
If someone breaks into my home at night, my wife and I (both senior citizens) have a simple plan.
1. I put her little butt in the bathroom with her trusty Ruger Security-Six and the cell ph. (we keep in the bedroom). She call's 911.
2. I shut the bedroom door, ease down behind her side of the bed with my 12ga. pointed at the door.
3. Anyone who wishes to steal whatever crap they want in my home can have at it. I don't want to kill anyone over replaceable property.
4. Anyone entering thru the bedroom door without announcing and proving who he is will be on the receiving end of multiple rounds of #4 buckshot.
I have never had much luck with glowing nite sights and such on my firearms, altho I do have 3 pistols with lasers on them, (Sig P239/Bersa Thunder 9 UC/S&W model 638 Bodyguard) and when a shotgun is not available I would prefer the laser equipped pistols over any regular sights.
But that's just me.
Best Wishes,
