 guns for self defense

Glock 40 S&W - Mod. 22 or 23
Colt AR or clone in .223
Shotgun - I'm not a fan of a scattergun. Anybody that thinks you don't have to aim one just hasn't shot one very much. Had a Mossburg 500 that handled fine.

 guns for self defense

I don't like a shotgun OR a rifle for what I call "home defense" because they both require two hands to operate. I guess if an evil gang of compact tractor owners was rolling through my yard, a shotgun would be great. I could step out on the front porch and start blasting. Or, join them. But I envision a scenario more like this one: I'm sleeping soundly with my wife at my side, and am suddenly awakened. I realize that somebody else is ALREADY IN THE ROOM and is coming toward us. Or, even if the bad guys were in the HOUSE, I'd still have to go room-to-room to clear them out. Need to carry a flashlight, and a free hand to open doors, deflect other weapons, etc.
For some, home defense may mean more protecting livestock from 4-legged predators, or a patrol-type situation. In that case, I'd think a semi-auto rifle with a flashlight mounted to it would be the trick.
Also, I have to agree with the comment about single action autos and operating them under stress. While I've run several thousand rounds through a .45 Gov't Colt, you just wouldn't believe how many ways you can mess up under stress. What works on the range sometimes just doesn't work when things go bad. I practice with my Glock almost exclusively, because that is what I carry (legally in my state), when I carry.
