remington i would say...., reliable and easy to use, sounds like to me you want so protect your house, id buy a riot shotgun, shoots rubber rounds that will drop mostly anyone to the floor disabling that person without the kill...... you never know when that "spray" can become of an issue and harm someone you dont mean to harm. like i loved one sneaking in late at night or other reasons, i think youd rather drop em to the floor for 20 minutes than lose them forever.... i am an active gun handler.... and i would not purchase a gun to balance the fact that your a lowsy shot, if your gunna practice like you say you are, a simple handgun would do,..
