My Mossberg 500 holds 5+1, but I also have a 6 shot side saddle just in case. Hopefully, I'm never in a situation where you need to empty the mag...
Defense-wise, I think it's a perfect size because it keeps me from having to swing a 2-foot barrel around in my home. Typically, I keep 5 in the tube with the chamber empty, but safety off and slide halfway back. I live alone though so I don't have to worry about anyone messing with it or hurting themselves.
