KS7 is considered a good shotgun for Home defense due to its low weight and relatively small size. Still, there are various guns that you can use for home defense. Apart from that, there are various ways to defend your house in case of any unexpected visitors.

Good for home defense or other cramped or close-quarters needs. At just over 26 inches long and ~6 pounds, it's easy to hold, easy to pack, and (unlike the KSG) simple to use. You might also consider the KS7 for its value.

I've put around 300 rounds through it. It eats everything from mini shells to 3”. Buck, slugs, birdshot, all good.

The KS7 might be short and slim on the outside, but it's long under the hood. Its 18.5″ magazine tube holds 6+1 or 7+1 depending on your choice of shell size. The 18.5″ barrel gives you plenty of 12ga velocity to maximize the performance of your preferred loads.

FN Five-seveN® Developed in the 1990s but still one of the most innovative pistols on the market, the Five-seveN keeps you safe. The low-felt recoil combined with a 20-round capacity offers any home protector peace of mind for when it matters most.

12-gauge 00 For decades, the gold standard for defensive buckshot loads has been 12-gauge 00 or double-aught (. 33” diameter) lead buckshot in an 8 or 9-pellet 2 ¾” load. This is the most popular defensive load used by civilians, police, and military organizations.

Kel-Tec is known for making interesting firearms, but their reputation for reliability isn't exactly stellar. I have shot some and they work well enough, but even fans of Kel-Tec firearms find you have to do some “tuning” to get them to be reliable.

The barrel of the Kel-Tec KS7 pump-action shotgun is 18.5"/47 cm long, with a cylindric choke, and is likewise replaceable with a longer one that would match the length of an extended tube.

No, not all shotguns are meant to shoot slugs. Non-rifled (smoothbore) shotguns are meant to shoot foster style slugs. Also, be careful with shooting any type of slugs out of older shotguns, or shotguns with a choke, a choke adds restriction which may deform your barrel over time.

22 cal. For best results – shooting between about 850 and 950 FPS – we need to match the slug weight against the power level of your PCP. If you try to shoot a slug that's too heavy for your gun, it will travel very slowly: you'll effectively be using a mortar.

Kel-Tec's PMR-30 was the most popular semi-automatic pistol in the United States, beating out Smith & Wesson's M&P9 Shield and Sig Sauer's P938.

The accuracy of the KSG is, like most shotguns, incredibly lethal at or under 25 yards. My playtime, er....testing... was primarily short-range courses, with mostly 2 ¾” load in a variety of Winchester and Remington sport, heavy and light target loads.
