Thanks, but I will stay with an AR, handgun or semi-auto shotgun. Double barrel is to slow to reload.

Certainly true...and I understand. 00 Buck with 9 pellets CAN do damage to a group coming in on occasion. You do have a point, though.
I would say to a single intruder, if you survive the straight-on blast from a couple of barrels of 00 Buck, you may have that for which you came.
You are absolutely right. A semi-auto or pump with a short barrel and extended mag is technically better but there are some advantages to a double.
The biggest is the short overall legal length. It really is handy in tight spaces. With auto ejectors they can be reloaded fairly quickly.
