Replacing/upgrading nightstand pistol

[halfmoonclip]

My experience is that having different guns for different roles is only going to cause confusion when the time comes that you will need to use it. My suggestion is to pick a gun and use it for training, bedside, and concealed carry.

This is excellent advice. Even if your carry gun and nightstand gun are different sizes, they should work the same way.
The 365 was mentioned; carry the smallest iteration, and have one of the larger examples as the bedside gun.
When you're scared, you want to keep it simple.

My Hi-Power is a bit too nice for the role.

You must have a very different definition of nightstand gun than I do. Why on earth would a gun be too nice to employ?

Mine resides in a bedside biometric safe. It’s not handled or fondled with exception of when I take it to range/training to keep my competence up with it. Much like my guns in my large safes.

The 'bedside gun' at our house is in a Simplex lockbox, chained to the bed. It's stout enough to resist at least some burgling efforts.
I've got to be awake enough to manage the combination, and thus, awake enough to mange the G19 in the box. I've a cut down kydex holster that doesn't cover much besides the trigger guard, again, so a hasty grab doesn't find the trigger.
All my 'defensive' guns have a single control, the bangswitch.
Bedside guns serve two functions; defense, if necessary, and not being fired, accidentally, by you, or someone else.
