A good long gun is essential to any home defense system. When you have time to prepare, then a nice long gun is essential whether it be the shotgun, rifle or a nice .40 carbine.
However, two reliable compact pistols safely placed in two strategic locations are also essential to the home defense system.
I am a big fan of the Springfield Armory and its 1911 products. I was the author of the Long barrel 1911 thread that got shut-down by some underhanded Glock thugs. However, I feel two of those cheap Glock compacts are good picks. They are reliable and easily stashable. Since they have no safety, you can put them into the mix fairly quickly.
My long barrel 1911 is a good defense system and a weapon of mass destruction, but I might have to defer to the compact glocks as a good backup to the overall defense system.
