I hate to be the one to try to pull this thread back on topic but...
I recently wanted to find something for varmints around my place. Then it got me thinking about something for home defense as well. Unfortunately nothing fits both. So I was looking at a Gano air rifle for the varmints and a shotgun for the house, probably pump action. I'd consider a pistol but from what I've read and know about myself even with training if I was woke up by a burglar I would have a better chance of actually hitting them with the shotgun.
I haven't handled a gun in about 15 years and even then I was a kid shooting my uncles guns. He was cool. He had a great collection and a range at home with his own homemade targets.
For the untrained or people without a steady hand or good eye sight the shotgun is perfect. The noise alone even if you miss will get people moving away form you.
Honestly... for someone who isn't going to use the gun once in a while (even a shotgun), I think you'd be better off with a .45 loaded with blanks. Someone breaks into your home and comes remotely close to you, scream at the top of your lungs "IM GONNA KILL YOU *******" and just start unloading those blanks. Bet ya the thief jumps through a window to get out of there...
A shotgun would be best for you. I picked up a gently used Mossberg 500 for a couple hundred bucks a while back. It's loaded with .00 Buckshot! My concealed carry weapon/ home defense pistol is a Glock 23 (.40 cal) with Trijicon night sights loaded with Golden Sabers.
My latest addition is a nickle plated Browning Buckmark .22 with hogue grips and night sights. Its perfect for Water Moccasins.
Next purchase will definitely be small .38 revolver and I'll begin building an AR-15 of some sort.
Here is a vid I found, if you have something similar or better please post...

He was my A team leader and that's his job first threw the door I was playing breach man just felt like shooting a little it was a slow day. I did my time being first way to many time I'm usually controlling two teams of guys clearing buildings and rooms. :cool:
first man thru would be one stressful job, i bet. really takes some balls to do that.
Nice Sal! And thanks for your service... much respect!
In an apartment, I might go with a shotgun - with #4 buckshot as a good manstopper, that still won't 'overpenetrate' modern particleboard wall construction. Shotguns really are the most unwieldy of weapons though, and I'd probably still default to a pistol were I surprised by a bump in the night. If I know the urban zombie/golden horde were definitely coming TO-NIGHT... then I'd have the shotgun at the ready.

In my three story house with a full basement, I go this route.

Upper was custom made by Addax, Inc, out of Los Angeles. 14.5" Sabre bbl with pinned/welded Phantom comp for legal length. 1:7 twist, chrome-lined bbl set in a Vltor MUR 1A upper. BCM lower has a Giselle SSA trigger. Insight Proxima HX120 sheds more light on the matter, for the Aimpoint T-1 to focus on. 69gr. Privi JHP's git 'r' done. If the urban zombies/golden horde comes down MY street, that's how I'll greet 'em.
I still tend to default to a 1911 for regular carry and home patrol work, though...

Very Nice
I don't WANT my enemies/home invaders to hear me, and the soft little *click,* of the safety coming off my loaded weapon... Attachment 1141
My Sig stays real close, loaded and chambered. I have to agree with jantrit though, there's absolutely no mistaking a pump action shotgun chambering a round, a very clear message to an intruder... game over.
