......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
*** 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 *** down.

Thank you for the input, Chas. Since I have never fired a shotgun... my
previous experience with firearms is a .22 rifle some 40 years ago as a boy
scout.... I want to practice and learn and become comfortable with the tool
before leaving in loaded around the house. I am on night shift this week so
will not be able to get to the range until Thursday when I shall try it out.
Hopefully I won't need fancy sights though yours sounds pretty good. I agree
the cheap cartridges for practice will save money.... hopefully the
expensive tactical loads will never be fired. Again thanks for the help.
Take care
