Of course it is! It's about as good as any other gun for home defense if you get good at using it. If you hit your target it's as good as most anything else. It's a gun firing lead at 3000fps +/-. What part of getting hit by a piece of lead in the gut at 3000fps isn't going to make the BG stop and think breaking into your house maybe wasn't such a good ideal?

If this were the 1890's and someone was asking whether the .32 extra short used in the Chicago Palm Pistol is a good gun for home defense, there might be some debate to be had here. The stuff we have access to for "home defense" today is beyond effective.
