When at home I always have at least my Glock 22 (.40) and once in a while also bring out Glock 17 or 19. I feel a shot gun is to long for homes in Hawaii. Hand gun is just right.

my preferable HD gun is my XDM .45 with either 230 grain federal HP, or 185 gr +p HP
i like the short range stopping power of the 45
plus it is easy access for me, it can be ready in a matter of seconds.
i think the pistol can be easily maneuvered around my small accomodations vs a rifle, and my only rifle right now is a 10/22 so for me that isn't a primary option for HD.
i also have my 2 revolvers that can be ready just as fast
but i prefer the XDM for my primary option, due to the caliber and the flashlight.

my preferable HD gun is my XDM

You could try slice the pie

.

Certainly, that would be first choice.

Sorry, this is assuming interior corridor does not provide enough room to "slice-the-pie."

If you don't have enough room perhaps you should choose another alternative.  Not tryna be a dick. 
Then again if the shotgun is too long with a 16" barrel any rifle will be too long as well.
Interested in hearing what others have to say

How would one round a corner in your house with a shotgun?

I'm thinking barrel down.

Is this correct?

Something to think about, you have complete control of how to lay your home out. For example you could clear lines of sight by moving stuff around or even make convienient choke points, use led spotlights on fixtures or lamps to blind or shadow your approach. You could even convieniently place a mirror or something with a reflective surface near that corner. Could be something as small and inconspicuious as a picture frame on a counter across the room angled so you could see the blind spot. Remember Sun Tzu's Art of War, you have the opportunity to prep the battlefield in your favor. So what if they can see you coming. If they can see you, you can see them and they can see the shotgun your holding!

I think more thought needs to be put into a lot of folks HD weapon of choice. a 1911 loaded with 230 grain? Damn, that is a lot of HD, plus you need to worry about where the bullet goes once you pull that trigger. Don't get me wrong, if you are good and assuming you have had some experience with the drastic increase in heart rate, breathing, etc., etc., you should be good to go. Personally, my HD weapon of choice is two actually. First is a nice Shotgun (assuming it has been converted into a HD weapon). You certainly don't want to have to move tactically with a big ass shotgun. But if you rack it and the bad guy doesn't leave immediately, then chances are he/she/they are armed and intend to do bodily harm to you and yours. Which brings me to my second (and favorite) HD weapon..Bond Arms Snake Slayer IV! It comes in either .45/.410 or .38 Spec./.357 Mag. Great for concealed carry also...total length is only about 5" or so...

Again, I am not trying to be a dick...just my two cents!

Ooh. Bond arms. I want one. The Texas somethin or other with the star on the handle.

^^^^ Ya, that is the one...

I think the real concern isn't hurting feelings.  It's maintaining an elevated standard of dialogue in a public forum. 

As it has been described, there's no sense in posting things that can be used against the 2A community by those who might come here for just that reason.

 

+1!

On that note... IWI US is shipping Tavors, starting tomorrow!!
