For years I kept my Ruger Single Six 22 loaded with hollow point mags at my bedside. It's what I had and I can shoot it accurately. Was it my first choice? No way. But it was what I had. Now I keep my Bersa Thunder 45 with a spare mag, my SW 642 AND my Ruger in the drawer under my bed by my head.
If it's what you have, it's better than a steel pipe. You can hit the BG from a distance. Keep the pipe for if and when he gets close enough that you are hand to hand.
As for Boba Fett and Logos, why don't you take your personal attacks elsewhere so we don't have to "listen" to your drivel while seeing what others have to say regarding the answer to the actual question.
