Ya know, it don't matter if you fire a 12 gauge, a 9mm or a 5.56 inside the house. It's gonna be loud. Your ears are gonna ring. Unless you got time to put your ears on. It beats getting beaten, raped or killed. That's the price you pay to win.
Those 9 pellets of buckshot may not all strike the target. They are travelling at roughly 1100 fps, give or take. High velocity buckshot is 1450 fps. Velocity of the 5.56 is going to be around 3000 fps.
Accuracy means you hit what you're aiming at. If the badguy is holding a loved one hostage, I'd rather have an AR carbine to precisely place the shot, not a shotgun with buckshot.
Follow up shots with an AR are faster. Even though it may take longer to pay for the AR on layaway, it's more likely to be practiced with on a regular basis than a shotgun. Here's a 6920 at G&R Tactical for a reasonable price and at the moment, it's in stock

The $300 could go towards toward a 9mm Glock now and get the Colt later. It's legal for a parent to purchase a handgun for you
