Showme, the percentages may be in your favor, but it doesn't make it a fact.
Not everyone disregards their sights when the shooting is live.

You're assuming that I haven't already burned through a pallet or three of ammo.
Oneounce, how about becoming "one with the gun" AND adding a better sighting system?
Rob, I don't see a lot of folks with high round counts putting holos on their shotguns. Some gamers maybe, but betcha they have a different shotgun for defense.
Ol' Elmer Keith, in his book on shotguns (Shotguns by Keith, copyright Stackpole and Heck, 1950- yepper, Elmer was real big on shotguns too) talked about mounting 1X scope sights on shotguns. The old Nydar sight was available at that time as well, along with the usual complement of beads, ribs both solid and vent, etc.
I thought it was 1" per yard not foot meaning at 12' the shotgun will roughly pattern 4" not the 12" you stated.Home Defense=rooms less than 20ft, and more practically 12ft. Shotgun patterning 12" at 12ft. If you can't hit the target by pointing the noisy end at the target then a $400 sight isn't going to be much good.
IMO, drop the tacticool crap on the shotty. I can see where a good focused beam flashlight mounted under the barrel could be of help in a HD situation, but I see little need for "optics" and "holo sights" on a HD shotgun.

Lets see, Wal Mart has 100 round boxes of 12 ga #6 shot for $20 and change, that means you can buy 2,000 rounds for a bit over $400. Thats a lot of point and shoot practice.I dunno, $400 will buy a lot of shotgun ammo. The last time I used one of my shotguns (today), I didn't even use the bead that is on the front of it.
