Just a little history, I am a certified CCW instructor in Arizona and a NRA Training Counselor for basic handgun, rifle, shotgun, personal protection, home firearms safety and reloading. I am also certified Glock armorer and law enforcement transistion instructor.
1. A shotgun is a good defense gun for 10 yards and longer BUT most defensive shooting occur at 10 FEET or closer. VERY LITTLE IF ANY SPREAD ON THE SHOT. Not even with a 18 in cylinder bore.
2. Long guns are very easy to take away from someone at up close and personal ranges.
3. Buckshot or slugs will go through two or thre double sheetrock walls IF you don't hit a stud. If you do hit the stud the projectiles will retain enough energy to kill someone on the other side of the first wall.
4. A handgun loaded with good Jacketed Hollow Points (except in New Jersy) is the best choice for personal protection.
5. Revolver or pistol? Depents on how much you will be practicing. Revolver is easier to become proficient with but if you practice enought a pistol has its benefites.
6. Caliber? The largest that you can quickly and reliablely hit your target. There are reasons why law enforcement are leaving the 9MM for the .40cal, and why military spec ops never willingly adopted it and are returning to the 45ACP.

When was the last mass killing in a gunshop, police station, shooting range or any other place where people are liable to be armed? The occur in UNARMED VICTIM ZONES.
