While in the Corps in Security forces, we were trained to alternate 00 buck followed by slug. That way you have a slug ready as the 2nd shot. If you don't need it and want the buck, you just eject it. Just an idea that I use for my own defense.
That implies you are totally awake, alert, and in control of your faculties in a firefight. At 2:00 in the morning when you're awoken by the sound of breaking glass, there's not much mental room for anything more than cha-chak, boom, cha-chak, boom even if you're wide awake; the combination of a quick transition from sleep to awake and the decent dose of adrenaline that's just been dumped into your body make it difficult to think rationally and remember how the gun's loaded.
