Well I know at 35 feet with the PDX1's I can cover up where the 3 discs hit with the palm of my hand. And in the design of my house I'm not really worried about spread because its pretty close quarters. But most of the time it's my XD.

That's why my Sig is loaded with a chambered round. If I don't have time to jack a round of 00 buck into the shotgun, I've still got 16 rounds of .40 cal to fire at the bad guy....hopefully not that I'd need that many......
Although a friend of mine suggests you keep firing until they change shape or catch fire.........

with ammo prices back up but not nearly as bad as before, i suggest shooting until they stop.
Penetration is still going to fall way short. Judges loaded with .410 shells show bad results in testing and in real life.

Yes Sir. The Judge pistol is one of the best marketing schemes EVER! Ranks right up there with zombie max ammo by Hornady.

One night I was jolted awake by my dog making some strange growling noises she normally never makes. Pistol in hand I peek out of the bedroom to investigate. I can see over the banister that she it looking up at the top of the stairs and growling. I shine the light in that direction and see nothing. "What the hell does she see that I don't" I'm wondering. I maneuver around to where I can see the top of the stairs to find my mom's cat at the top of the stairs starting back at my dog. I should have shot the cat
Sometimes the "intruder" is something that will never be seen by you in a massive adrenaline rush looking for a human intruder.
Just last night at about 4-something AM. I was sitting in the living room surfing the net, when I thought I heard something at the back door.
As I listened more intently, I realized that someone was tapping against the door itself!
With my hand on my HK, and a flashlight in my left, I approached the door just in time to see something nearly below where I was focusing my field of vision.
It was a f***ing cricket! He had gotten in the house, and was jumping against the door over and over again. <facepalm!>
I made sure no person was actually outside, and then opened the door and let him hop on out.
Yeah - Just like TheDan "should have shot the cat", I should have shot that damn cricket!

What he said. I have a Glock 17 with 124+P Gold Dots in the night stand, and a Mossberg with 00 Buck about 6 more feet away. If either of those aren't enough, I have my AR with 30 rounds as a go to.
Glock 19 with 9mm Federal Hydra Shok ammo on the nightstand. I used to keep my 870P around for HD for the idea that racking a shotgun is a universally recognizable and respectable sound that sends a BG running but I've changed my line of thinking that I'm not giving the BG a chance to leave my home alive. I hate criminals.
Dogs are great, they do their job!
I am curious about one thing though, all you guys that have multiple guns within reach in the bedroom, what do you do with them when you leave to go to work?

I said "All you guys".....I don't keep multiple guns laying around.
What do you think I do with them? I take 'em with me in case I need to rob a liquor store.
Well, I leave mine right where they are. If I come home and see any signs of forced entry, then thats why I have my CCW. If they want to break into my house, set off the alarm, and then sit in the house with my firearm while that obnoxiously loud siren is going off with my dog chewing on their leg, while the ADT folks are calling me, and the local PD is responding... then by all means they can stay. When I get there my CCW will be used with tactical precision as I am entering and clearing my own house.
I sure am not going to lock them away when I leave.
