Never thought I'd be a Glock fan but a couple of years ago a judge awarded me a Glock 19 in addition to my fees in a criminal case. The pistol has a light/laser pointer under the barrel and tritium sights, so about $325 worth of extra crap on it. But the light/laser is the deal for home nightstand defense. The light is so bright I'm thinking some wuss intruder would leave. As for more hardened intruders the extra capacity will hopefully do the trick.

The pistol is a 15+1, which I prefer over only having 5 or 6 rounds. With striker fire, no safety needed or actually on the pistol.

Shoots very nicely at the range.

If that is a bit big, I'd go with a G43 and add Magguts spring to the magazines. The Magguts adds 2 rounds without adding length to the magazine. So 8+1 capacity. The G43 is a little smaller than the G19 and is very comfortable.
