When it comes to HD, many think they need the latest video game version with all of the doodads on it. Do yourself a favor and measure the absolute longest straight line in your house you might have to shoot. In MY house, it is right at 52' - that is both bedroom doors open and from one end of the house to the other - that is all of 17 yards - at the MAX. Any shot would most likely be closer to 36' or 12 yards. At those distances, a quick bead sight will work just fine - in MY home as there is enough ambient lighting from outside and the "voltage vampires" or LEDs that glow in the dark. At 12 yards, the typical 00 buck from a C or IC choke barrel is going to be about 8-10 inches in diameter or half the width of most torsos.

Don't over-think or over-accessorize to the point that the gun becomes so heavy you can't move to quickly to the target
