I wouldn't call it useless. It is less than ideal, but until you can do better you gotta make do with what you've got. The longer barrel will be a hinderance inside a home, but a better plan is to barracade yourself in a bedroom and call 911. If an intruder gets to your room before police arrive then do what you have to do. It doesn't involve a lot of maneuvering in this case so the longer barrel is less of a problem.

Replacement barrels are almost as expensive as a whole new Nova. If you decide you want something shorter you'll be better off buying another gun. With a Remington or Mossberg replacement barrels are cheap enough and available, so it is easier to justify a 2nd barrrel.
