Most of us make this decision by what we keep by the bedside every night. I keep a H&K USP in 40 S&W. Shotguns, (which I've used on varmints outside at night many times) are too slow and unwieldly in a house. I want to be nimble and quick.
And if I hear one more time "Just rack the slide on a 12 gauge and the invader will run" ------- I'll regurgitate.
10 rounds w/20 pellets each #1 Copper Plated Buck in a 2 3/4" 18" cylinder bore SG is not unwieldy to me, course theres a 45 ACP, 9MM, AR-10 w/90 round drum, and AR-15's back there too.
I'm not worried, and am not influenced by hollywood bullchit.
