The joys of living in California is the mag ban so 10 rounds or less. Multiple guns to fall back onto might be a great option.
Can you really think of ANY likely situation where in your own home you would need more than a couple or three rounds? It is highly unlikely you will be in a gun battle like on TV unless you are a drug dealer or a criminal and the invaders are looking for your stash and willing to kill everyone inside. That is pretty much a TV plot.

With that said, I do like having a double stack magazine just because I want one. My home defense spoon is a revolver. In a total panic adrenaline rush heart pounding situation like a bad guy in the house I want a easy to use 100% reliable point and click works without thinking interface. I can pull the trigger 6 times if necessary. I really hope it is never necessary to defend my house but any and all intruders will be shot.
