The Daisy Red Rider would be a good option being a single pump. The box that came with my Crossman Classic suggests a good 5-10 pumps, which would be a bit too much in a high stress home invasion.

The first one I would go for depends somewhat on where I am in the house when it is needed, but I read the question as being what your first choice would be.
I think an AR-15 carbine in 5.56 is the best home defense weapon you can get. Low barrier penetration, great wounding capability, low recoil, good mag capacity, ease of mounting optics/lights, and great handling characteristics add up to an ideal weapon for that role. A shotgun is good too, but the spread is not nearly as much of an advantage as most people think it is at the distances normally seen in HD shootings. The 5.56 is faster on follow up shots and is quicker to reload, though its higher capacity means it is very unlikely that you would have to reload. The common defensive shotgun loads do tend to penetrate barriers worse than a 5.56. A nice, trim AR will be lighter and shorter than most defensive shotguns. The shotgun will normally have at least an 18" barrel, while a 16" is common on the rifle.

I have my pistol to fight to my AR, and the AR to fight to the 870. Those are all within 20ft of my bed. First to are arms reach and just out of arms reach. If I had one I think my best bet would be my AR due to the long barrel on my 870.
The never fail Rem 870 with 18.5" barrel. 00' PMC low recoil ammo.
The go to situation adjudicator is my 870...
101
This....
