I'm of the opinion a .410 pump dimensioned to a slightly built shooter would work well for home/self defense. At home defense ranges long gun accuracy of any reasonableness will trump inexperienced use of a handgun. I doubt anybody looking down the barrel of a .410 shotgun at close range will be thinking, "Oh, no biggie, 'tis just a .410!" I also doubt anybody with a .410 slug in their chest would want to encourage the placement of another in the vicinity.
I recently purchased a Mossberg 500 in .410 I plan on getting cut down at both ends to make it handier in close quarters and a better fit for my 5'4" wife to wield. She's not much of a gun person but I think I can get her trained up enough to be effective at home defense ranges. At least that's my excuse for buying it!
