Your right. Stats show a knife wielding Intruder/attacker has an 85+ % success rate. This is even after being shot. If your serious about self preservation "stopping power" is essential for survival.
I use the Mossberg 930-SPX with the TLR-1 tactical light w side plate & remote.The TLR is an aluminum bodied LED tactical light that uses 2 of the common 3V 123 cells. It is pretty much a zero-maintenance unit that only requires the replacement of batteries. It is dust-, shock-, and waterproof. The lens is glass, and has a pretty tight blue-white beam with a substantial amount of peripheral illumination as well.
I keep 1 Federal '00' buck round in the chamber with 1 behind that then 2 slugs backing those. The gun holds 8 total so I load 2 more 00 buck then 2 more slugs.
This allows neutralization of more than one target quickly if needed.
This weapon is great for close range contact and can drop an intruder dead on the spot. Especially if you hit the vitals. It can blow the heart and all the adrenalin pumping through it clean out. A slug shot to the head would eliminate the open casket option.
This is the one gun I own I hope to never have to use
