If over penetration is an issue (and seeing from your sig you have a lot of houses around) a shotgun would be a no go for me. Shotguns and pistols have the most over penetration and a very high risk of hurting your neighbors. An ar15 actually would be a better choice since it has the lowest over penetration (once the bullet hits the first side of sheet rock the bullet will tumble and most of the time get stopped in the second wall. Fourth piece of sheet rock assuming it doesn't hit any studs).

Now lets talk ammo. Bird shot as defense ammo is a joke. If bird shot is all you can get right now, you're better off with a .22 rifle. Need at least 00 buck with slug being preferred but again both have over penetration issues.
