Default Home Defense Round: Bird Shot?

Otherwise it's a Hornady Critical Defense round; fired from a Glock 23.

I've loaded .44 special shot rounds, and I wouldn't use it on birds. The patterns were so weak, you could miss a sitting duck at 5 yards..

On the other hand, a 12 gauge load of 7 1/2s is devastating at home defense ranges (unless you live in a really big house.). Even buckshot can penetrate drywall.
