A 7.5" 5.56 is not the ideal HD weapon by any means. Inside a house, I would more likely use my Glock.
But except for the blast, I don't buy the rest as a reason not to use it if it's what you have.
Plenty accurate to 100 yards.
Short barrelled ammunition would help with the concussion and blast.
Trust me, a 9mm is also loud in an enclosed room.
It's not what I would recommend for HD but I'm not convinced it wouldn't serve the purpose, with the exception of decibals.
