Less shotguns

I’ve never shot one but I think I would buy a governor or judge before I bought a 410 shotgun for home defense. Same versatility in a more compact easy to maneuver package, jam proof, simple to operate. Rossi circuit judge would give you a stock.
As for 20 gauges the Benelli M2 would be my choice.
From an orthopedic standpoint, Avoid the pounding on your shoulder completely. Get an AR. From a home defense standpoint for any firearm to be effective you have to practice. You will really hurt your shoulder more practicing. Moreover, if you have to use it, the anticipated pain may make you hesitate or flinch and that can have detrimental consequences.
For those who skipped over post #3, the "why not AR" was answered there... the OP does indeed have an AR and its all part of the plan.

Thinking outside the box....but could you learn to shoot left handed? Use the good shoulder?
That wouldn't be ideal for competition marksmanship competitions. But for a 5 yard max range with a shotgun? I feel like you could learn to be accurate and efficient enough for home defense with that pretty quick
My wife has a 20 Ga benelli monte..... auto. If it is not placed properly in the shoulder, it will hurt you after a while. How about a pistol grip, no butt stock, point and shoot. Short shells? No impact on the shoulder?Benelli semi-auto shotguns are very expensive, but perhaps a used one might be in your budget.

Someone posted a picture of a pallet of these at Atlantic Guns in Rockville. If you need a new semi might be worth snagging one and upgrading later.
How can someone make a plan requiring a certain type of firearm at each step?
2 rounds from the shotgun, run to the corner for a pistol, then ultimately get the AR and make the stopping shot with that?
If part of your "plan" is to fight to go to another gun, then you are losing sight of the fight you are indeed in right at that crucial moment.
Your plan might consist of having that "special gun" in your final position of dominance. The gun that is part of your plan, typically would be the one you started the fight with.
My sons can shoot my 10/22 very well so there are a couple BX-25s with minimags in the safe.
