1911 w heavy recoil spring
None of my kids could rack the slide.
That is a good interim solution. I do have a 10mm 1911. Not sure my wife could cycle a round. K

I keep my .357 Model 60 in a small drawer on top of my tall chest of drawers. It has a key lock and it is locked when g-kids etc. are over. When I’m out of town my wife keeps her Browning 1911-22 in her nightstand drawer and the magazine is in her dresser until she gets in bed then The mag goes in but no round in the chamber. Not perfect but workable.

If you have a closet in your bedroom with a swing-out type door, the solution is as simple as putting a keyed lock-set on your door, keyed differently from your house key. Keep your night stand gun in there during the daylight hours when your grand nephew is with you. That's what I did when my son was young or was older and had friends who might be nosy and not gun educated.

I’d hate to live somewhere that I had so much fear every night, I needed a loaded gat under my pillow. What the hell, lol   I’ve stayed in some Roach Motels in Jacksonville that I wasn’t that scared. JFC Shower guns ..., I seen some chit on this forum.

Less the neighborhood and more of the career choice.
My job upsets people.
Sometimes they get dumb....

Her job has her dealing with the scum of society, so we've had numerous threats. Thankfully so far it's all been talk.

Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.

No toddlers. No kids here.
I do keep my 1911 on the chest of drawers a step or two away from my bed though.
Gives me a bit of time to wake up before I lay hands on it.
I want it that way. Last thing I want to do is shoot a loved one while still half asleep. Make sure that you have a light with your gun so you can blind intruders and identify loved ones before you kill them.
