Well dang. Everything I wanted to say has already been said.

That would not be a sound basis for decision making.Anemic handguns have been stopping threats for many many years. Many times with one shot.
How one "feels" may be objectively supportable--or it may be due to ignorance and naivete.I have been known to carry my anemic hand guns and feel totally protected.
It's my opinion the defense of your home starts with securing your house.
Because it's faster to deploy. Smaller and more maneuverable. I can use it with one hand. It has a laser on it so I don't even have to line up the sights. Mag change is fast. And if those first 31 rounds of rapid fire shock and awe don't get their attention, I can pick up the AR.

Why would you use a pistol for home defense?
Indeed. We have shotguns in case of natural disaster. In contrast, I am almost always carrying a pistol.My dad always had a shotgun for home defense but only seen it loaded twice during the MLK riots and Police / Fire Dept strike. Us kids were told not to touch it and we didn't.
I live in a small 1 bedroom apt and handguns are easier to store and conceal , I keep my S&W .357 loaded or my EDC 9mm Shield, Dads old 12ga pump is put away in the closet.
#2b. If it is night time then I need an extra arm, as I would be focused on retrieving my son from his room and I can't do that with a long arm.
Because when I leave the house, I want all firearms, except for the one I carry, to be locked up in case of a break in while I'm not at home. I'm not disciplined enough to lock the shotgun/rifle in the safe "every time" I leave, and my handgun goes with me everywhere.
