I'm a bit surprised with the answers thusfar. If I'm chased into my room by someone I perceive to be a threat enough to shoot at them were they to get inside, I certainly would have no hesitation to shoot them through the door - except for if it was a tactical mistake to do so. I'd have extra magazines pre-loaded in my bedroom safe, and I'd have TWO loaded guns in that same safe (a GunVault multi-vault), so running out of ammo is not my concern.

Maybe I'll just go the mixed loadout route and load my guns 2 Hollowpoint, 1 FMJ, repeat until full (end with 2 hollowpoints on top as a starter).
