Try some of the Hornady TAP (non barrier) or Hornady FTP, 55 gr. Don't get me wrong, these will still penetrate walls, but should start to fragment and loose energy sooner than buckshot or typical handgun rounds.

I used to subscribe to the pump shotgun theory, but the AR has it's place. My wife can handle an AR much easier than the shotgun. Less recoil, more capacity, and no need to pump... follow up shots are quicker.
