You have never used a firearm, have you?Self defense from what exactly? You must live in a war zone, but I'm not aware of any war zone within the U.S. You seem to live in a world populated by imaginary boogeymen. I don't think that you want to help women and LGBTs, who are the present targets of fascism in the U.S., so are there monsters in your neighborhood? The Taliban is bashing your door in?
The best home defense weapon is actually a short-barrel rifle or the like. You want a weapon that is:
1. semi-automatic
2. short enough for close-quarters engagement
3. able to be shoulder-fired for better accuracy in high-stress situations
4. chambered in a mid-sized round, preferably subsonic (like .300 blackout)
5. capable of receiving a high-capacity magazine (that will give you plenty of ammo without needing to search around in the dark for another magazine)
Something like this:

But the bullshit SBR restrictions should be immediately stricken or repealed so this weapon can be widely sold and distributed as a home-defense weapon.
Well, that's like, your opinion, man.You have a shitty hobby, that's all.
A handgun is better than trying to hold the fort with a bolt-action deer rifle, but the better weapon is the one in the picture above.If you think someone is going to break into your house, a pistol will do.
