This. When folks talk about an HD gun getting low use, they're overlooking something vital, which is that if you're going to rely on a weapon for defense, you need to train, train, train with it until running it under all sorts of conditions is automatic. We're talking about hundreds if not thousands of rounds.
That ain't what I call "low use."

Your defense guns should be getting the most use of any of them.
Consider this too. What is your home defense plan? Are you going to barricade in the bedroom or clear the house? If your going to hunker down in the bedroom with 911 then a shotgun will be fine. Same if you keep one handy in case the back door smashes in.
For clearing though (bad idea) a shotgun can be easily grabbed from you if you're ambushed coming through a door or from behind a piece of furniture. The bad guy is going to be awake and on high alert. He'll probably know you're coming and may plan to ambush you. A pistol may give you a better chance for retention. And put a light on it!
