I think it depends on where you call home. If you live in an apartment or condo or in a tight suburban neighborhood then this is a terrible HD gun. The 9MM was specifically designed for penetration. That round will go through walls and windows with ease, cross the lawn or street and go through your neighbors house. Hopefully everyone can see the problem with this. If you live out in the pickers like I do then it is a great choice. I think for the former situation you can't beat a short shotgun loaded up with #6-8 birdshot. That shit will knock you on your ass from across the room even with body armor on. Plus it will not penetrate through your target and then on through the wall. Without body armor on, well, they're fucked.
The first thing I tell people who ask me about a home defense weapon is that the choice they make depends on their home. Luckily there are many options to choose from.
