There is a large variety of setup options for the 500 including numerous barrel sizes. You can swap barrels to your specific needs.870, 590, 1300, ithaca, nova, take your choice. any of them will make a fine home defense gun.
the 500 and maverick 8 shot versions are a good choice too, but the magazine isn't exendable so your stuck with 8 shot and a 20 inch barrel.
