Seems like the .223 would be a bit much for SD. Any round not dead on the intended target could end up in the neighbor's bedroom.
No. Fragiable .223 ammo, like 50 gr soft points, penitrate very few walls of a house. The slugs fragmentate on the sheet rock and wood. In fact, 5.56 ammo penitrates less than 9mm JHPs!

The only downside is the blast from a 5.56. But then, full .357s have a fair amount of blast to, as does 12 guage shotguns.
