A good short barreled shotgun, cycle that action in a dark house, and you have the bad guy's attention. Yeah, not for me. Not gonna give up my postion. My luck in a stressful situation, Id short stroke it and cause a jam. They will never hear the safety on my Benelli M4 When you live in a small 2 bedroom farm house (682 sq ft upstairs), there is limited guess work involved as to your location. If the bad guy will retreat, and I don't have to shoot, that's great, I don't have to make a mess in the house.

Just pull the trigger and find out how your life will change. For sure, but not as much as the bad guy’s will!

I have a short barrelled 7 shot Maverick. It cycles reliably and fires when you pull the trigger.

Mossberg Maverick 88 is a solid 18” pump shotgun that won’t break the bank.

My mom keeps my short barreled, pistol grip 870 next to the bed ready to rock and roll once the Airedale lets her know there's danger present.

Just pull the trigger and find out how your life will change. It sounds like youve been through concealed carry training and know the legal ramifications of deadly force. It may be the most expensive round you ever fire....
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

My handiest gun around the house is a Marlin 1895 lever .410. I use it to dispatch snakes, skunks and other chicken raiders and keep it handy for home defense.

I might suggest a bull pup design for inside the house. Going thru doorways and narrow hallways with a shouldered long gun even with an 18 inch barrel can be problematic. The bull pup can really help this. Check out the KSG from Kel tec. 600$ at palmetto sometimes. Something too ponder.
