Get a single barreled, single shot 12 gauge shotgun. Buy a used one. Use 00 buckshot. Great idea if you're in a dear blind, bad idea when more than one perps kicks in your front door. I'll admit, it's reliable as hell, but that's not a home defense weapon, but it's better than nothing.

I have a “snake gun”. It is a revolver that shoots a special 410 shotgun load that is load of small disc and shot. The pattern at 10 feet is about two feet wide and will take a mailbox down.
It will cover a Hall way in a home. No one can withstand that lead storm. Your aim is not critical.
As a by product, the noise will keep his “buddies” befuddled and running for there lives.

Yet another vote for the Mossberg 500 or the Remington 870. I have the former. I have far more expensive pieces that do specific jobs better but for the criteria listed - reliability, accuracy, moderate power and range, availability of ammo, capacity, and especially expense, I don't think I can draw a better match to that profile than those.
I am not an advocate of using birdshot in a home defense scenario due to insufficient penetration at the target. If you want baby in the next room to be safe, don't shoot at her. The object of the game is to put so much hurt onto an intruder that he ceases to be a threat. Don't screw around with something appropriate for doves. IMHO, of course.

Great pistol but no longer that cheap, and 12ga is better for home defense.

I do have a loaded CZ 82 right here.
And a 12 ga pump shotgun.

Mossberg 12 ga pump shotgun. Thus sayeth Mr. Trimom. I am glad I read down a couple posts. Dittos on the Mossberg. Although, I was at my friendly neighborhood gun shop this evening and I saw some no-name pump shot gun with a breach barrel and pistol grip on a full stock. It was $246. I am planning to modify my Mossberg 500 with essentially the same thing. My mods will cost close to that, but I can always put it back to its original form. Nothing like the sound of a pump action shotgun in the still of the night. It makes an unmistakable noise that should send the hood rats running.

The C4E household has a Mossberg in residence too. :-)

The 12 ga pump is a Chinese copy of the Ithaca 37.
$250 dollars for both.

For less than $1,000, you can pick up a Sig P229 in .40 cal. Holds 12+1, double/single action. No safety. Ready to rock, nail-driver accurate, reliable as it gets.
As the biker said, if you got a ten dollar head, buy a ten dollar helmet.
