Thoughts?

Birdshot is for birds. Some folks with the trigger time and downrange time to be entitled to an opinion won't even use buckshot for defensive purposes, but stick to slugs exclusively. Recoil as a debilitating problem is oft over-rated- there is no real reason a physically healthy person who is properly trained can't handle the recoil from a properly fitted shotgun with a good recoil pad. There are numerous providers of reduced recoil buckshot and slug loads available, and those can be as effective at in-house ranges as their full bore counterparts. Hitting what you shoot at pretty well takes care of worries re. overpenetration, preparing your home defense plan and your 'fatal funnels' before the need for them arises can take care of the rest.
