I recommend a 12gauge for home defense if you're not worried about neighbors and children from over penetration.
After owning one and using it on various targets.. I'm afraid to shoot somebody with it.. it's just too vicious.
Same with my m1 garand. 30-06 will probably go through the next 6 houses before it stops.
My daily carry is a Kimber 3" 1911 with ct grips. With the laser I don't even have to bother aiming to nail clay pigeons on the ground at 20 feet.. they're about heart sized, so the accuracy is more than enough at that range.. I don't expect to really be able to take aimed shots in a situation that'll truly matter to my life.
Go rent all sorts of guns before you buy.
To me, guns are like sports cars, you can get one in any flavor you wish.
