Any opinions on what to purchase? I've been looking online getting some ideas and I wanted to get some feedback from the outdoor board on what ya'll recommend.

Sprinfield 300 BO Saint Pistol

If you want to keep it under 1K. I would get a suppressor and use Underwood 194 GR Subsonic for home defense.

Nah, rifles are objectively better for defense.

Assuming this is with the optic, Ruger AR556 MPR with an aimpoint pro. Barrel is a bit long at 18 inches but it will absolutely serve you fine. Probably one of the best ARs out there right now for the money.
If not with optic, Aero complete lower and a BCM complete upper. Should be around $1k maybe slightly over.

Yeah,

That's just bad advise.

ETA: do you also believe that racking the shotgun will scare the bad guy out of the house?

you dont buy a rifle for "home defense"

you buy a shotgun for that or you get a pistol that women can operate easily and load hollow points in it

I'm sorry Joe, but you could not possibly be more wrong.

A shotgun? The 2nd most effective home defense option is a bad choice?

instead of insulting you like I want, I'm going to ask your logic on why a shotgun is a poor home-defense weapon

For the right person, shotguns are fine. Rifles hold more ammo, are easier to reload, easier to shoot accurate, extremely lethal, and penetrate walls less than shotguns. Plus you will want to practice with a rifles, shotguns will beat up your shoulder shooting all day. Pistols are hard to shoot accurate compared to rifles and have less capacity. Pistols are also less lethal than rifles.

Less capacity? LOL
How bad of a shot is everyone that they need a 30 round clip? Who are you defending yourself against? The Zombie apocalypse?

Get a shotgun. 20 gauge if you are worried about the kick.

The fact that you call it a clip tells me everything I need to know about your knowledge on guns you fudd.
I guess you are right though. In every post defensive shooting interview, the victim always says they wish they had less rounds
