The best option (and this is my opinion, and opinions on this subject will widely vary) would be a decent 9mm autoloader. A Glock 19, Beretta 92F, CZ75B...
It is very VERY unlikely you'll ever need it... but it's like car insurance, and the .22 just won't cover you.

I was thinking about going bigger but i havent a need for a larger caliber gun since i moved to belonte shores acouple days ago, i live in a nice area now, I use the .22 for target practice cause ammo for a 22 is alot cheaper. CCI 100 rds 22lr $5 at walmart. I mean if someone does break in and i have to shoot, im sure the person getting shot isnt going say "Hey thats a 22, there for ill stay and watch some DiscoveryHD." They do make hollow Points for .22 caliber Long Rifles like my P22 so as far as home protection. I feel im ok, i dont want the persons head to explode....unless i have a high speed camera rolling.
I did have a Mossberg 590 12 gauge shotgun with a pistolgrip top folding stock & heat sheild but too damn expensive to use at any range and if i shot that thing i would be worried that the rounds went through the walls and kill my neighbors so i sold it....Looked like this VVV
