all those guns are great,, for home defense get a .22 auto
cheap to buy cheap to shoot and since most encounters of the break in kind are within 3 to 5 feet the .22 will do just fine..and you need not worry about waking the neighbors

I wouldn't recommend a .22lr pistol for self-defense, unless you are adept at making head shots. Even a man mortally wounded by a .22 can press the attack for another minute or two.
