......I would recommend #4 buck for self
defense IMHO. You have about 3 times the number of shots on target
and don't have nearly the penetration of walls and doors.

Buy the cheapest skeet loads you can find to practice. Load with tactical
loads for protection. They'll feel the same to you, so shoot the cheapest
shit you can buy for practice, and spend what you have to for exotic loads
for protection.
Keep one in the chamber and your trusty safety on. They're reliable and
quick to 'off' when you make a positive move. All the springs can stay
compressed for *years* without taking a crimp.
Keep the gun loaded and next your bed. No need to warn anybody with racking
the slide, it isn't the movies. No need for dramatic effect.
Just go ahead and kill them if they pass the sniff test- at the ranges we're
talking about, even birdshot is going to leave a bloody rathole in him.
If you want to upgrade, get good sights for it first. I like a receiver peep
with the peepsight removed- it's a ghost ring. I like big rifle sights on
the front- I had an old Mauser front with big protective ears on it. If you
look through the ring, you see nothing but that big front sight. Anything it
sits on is history anywhere under 50 yards- I like slugs because they knock
shit down.
