The Springfield XDs is made for concealed carry, not home defense, although it would still go bang if needed.
I'd get a full size service pistol for home defense (1911, SIG P226, Glock 17, XD(m), S&W M&P, etc) for increased capacity and, especially, longer sight radius.
Home defense? 12 gauge is the answer.
Depends on your layout. I have some corners/doorways that I would not like to have the barrel coming out of before I can see.

I've no experience with them. I heard too many stories about issues with the Gen 4s (basically FTF, FTE has this been fixed?) that make me shy away from them.
take a pump and cut it down to the end of the tube.
I have well over 1000 rounds through mine and had 1 FTF that was a bad primer on the round, not the gun, had one FTE in the same box of craptastic federal reload junk
I think the shotgun as home defense gun debate has already taken place 10 times in this thread. Here we go again!
All I'll say is that my 18" barrel shotgun extends about as far from my body as my M&P 9mm does if I'm carrying it in ready to shoot position.
No, don't do that. Making an SBR is not something you want to do. Have a gunsmith do it and get the correct tax stamp ASSUMING you state even ALLOWS SBRs.
Anyone here own a Glock 21 ? I thinking about adding one to my arsenal...
If not anyone have any good recommendations on a .45? No need to be concealable per say. Probably would just be for the home etc.
I thought about a Springfield XDS or whatever its called but I don't like the small magazine...
Oops, haven't seen the thread in a while. It isn't something I would debate with someone, as everyone's skill/comfort/home/situation is different.
I will say one thing, psychologically, if I were to break into someone's home and hear a shotgun pump, I would think very quickly about getting the hell out of there.

That would be an SBS, not an SBR.. There are some differences on length and such
You are much better off already having one in the tube.. If the time comes to get out your gun it better be ready to use..
Personally I can' think of one that wouldn't be scary when you're staring down the business end:whiste:Yes, but I understand what he was trying to say. A shotgun is hella scary when you are staring down the business end.

The LCP is NOT intimidating.
My one fear is if I ever have to pull the thing its likely I'll need to shoot it before anyone takes me seriously.

A dot on their chest (or their balls) will likely do the trick.
You guys seriously take the fear thing way too far.. If you grab your gun because someone is in your home scaring them should NOT be the goal. It takes a lot longer for someone to get scared than it does for someone to get shot..
I got it, but the gun itself is too little for real intimidation.
Nice...what caliber?You have to have your dick hanging out your zipper for the full effect.
I'm going deer hunting this year....
no pump on my 11-87P
Hopefully 8 shotshells of 00 buck fired off in rapid succession would do the trick in scaring all the blood out of an invader though.
