Not an answer... But, IIRC, I saw an ATF or FBI report showing a statistic on how many potential home invasions were stopped by the sound of a shot gun shell being racked into the chamber. I think it went on to discuss how the firearm wasn't seen by potential invaders - just heard. Said the sound was a major deterrent.

Anyone else remember seeing something like this?
