Don't think TOO small. You want to have some hit power. So .22's are out. Also, the semi-autos give you more rounds. It works like this:Yeah, I'm thinking SMALL guys! I would of course get trained at a shooting range first.
If someone breaks into your home, chances are the coward puke has buddies. Therefore, 5 rounds of a 22 to stop the first guy leaves you nothing for his buddies coming in behind him, who might be armed too. Go at LEAST .32, and I recommend the 40 caliber Glock personally. And load hollow points.
Shotguns? Great if you have the time to wield them. If you've got 4 feet of distance between you and the perp, and time to point and shoot, sure. They're also quite messy, there will be bloody pellets all over your freaking house.
Shotguns are for hunting. For outdoor use. Pistols are for shooting perps who break into your home.
