I am not an expert...

But for home defense I would opt for a shotgun over any other small arm. It has great knock down power! Chances of missing your target are slim to none! And they are a heck of a lot cheaper to purchase than an assault style weapons (rifle/carbine-generally weapons used for longer, outside pistol/shotgun range).

IMHO shotgun all the way! A good .45 is not a bad choice either!
