The 870 is a great first shotgun. It's easily and cheaply customizable, and quite reliable. Outfit it with a tactical flashlight and you'll be able to see whatever you're protecting against, and can also blind an intruder to give you a little bit of extra time to react and assess the situation (pump the gun, blind him, and he might surrender if he knows he's about to be shot, and definitely if he's unarmed.)
If you tell us a bit about your home's layout and surroundings (number of floors, property sise, etc.) we can give you better advice on what kind of setup would work best.
