re: Savage Shotguns for home defense?

You need a pistol. No offense, but you sound like someone who would be rather easy to disarm from a shotgun (more to grab).

Get a .357 Magnum. No frills, no jamming and the best stopping power of any round.

You're telling a new gun owner to buy a .357? That's terrible advice.

OP, Savage makes a great shotgun for under $200. I have one beside my bed. I've put a lot of shells through it without any issues. Check Academy. If you find it cheaper they will price match it and take off an additional 5%. Good luck.
