With the slugs I use, the impact is so powerful, it can destroy entire sections of bone or muscle and leave entry wounds significantly larger than a handgun. I’d rather look to incapacitate an intruder quickly, rather than trying to aim in a stressful situation.

The Glock’s stopping power isn’t as immediate as a shotgun, especially if you’re using slugs. One shot with a slug, and game over. A new wall would be needed, too. Plus, a shotgun has a more psychological advantage over the Glock. An intruder hears that “racking” sound from a shotgun and they’re running. I’d rather protect my home with a shotgun over a Glock any day.
It's funny but the same reasons you prefer the shotgun is why I would prefer a Glock or another 9mm equivalent pistol. I would be very concerned about overpenetration and other damage.

Ultimately you should use what you feel most comfortable with and what will make you successful in your goal of protecting your house/family

I hear you and agree on the over-penetration thing. But see, I’m not trying to just stop the problem, I’m trying to send it straight to the next dimension. No chance of survival, no sequels, no post-credits scene. Just CH-CHKK, BOOM and goodnight.
