I do not know about you, but I for sure don't want to be down range if my wife ever bears down on them sights. She is less foregiving than me and will, how can I put this, bust a cap, much faster than I would.........
Those little 88 grain .410 slugs have a hollow base, poor sectional density, and poor penetrating characteristics. There's a whole page on Old Painless' Box o' Truth site that proves this.

A single-shot, break-action, exposed-hammer shotgun isn't a very good choice for home defense.
To each their own...
