If you are purely looking at home defense and do not intend to carry around the house at all times, nothing beats a pump action shotgun. The racking sound alone usually changes an intruders mind. If that suggestions seems favorable to you, go somewhere and try out the various gauges to see which one is best for you. If you want a small, light, concealed carry pistol, try a Ruger LCP, which I recommended to someone else up thread.
