Well when it comes to personal defense, a handgun is most likely to be the weapon of default, even when I wore a badge, that long-arm was usually locked away in the vehicles weapon rack.
I was a fair marksman with standard service revolvers, Colt's S&W Ruger, then auto-loaders such as the 1911, the BHP, and much later the Glock models 17 and 19....
Good quality handguns of many brands are acceptable for personal defense, however I prefer to stick to certain models within My limited sphere of experience.

I can shoot the Glock very accurately whether standing, kneeling or moving while shooting.

Against what?
Am I in a structure, a vehicle, or on foot?
Is it urban or wooded?
Can I open carry or does it need to remain concealed?
Why does this poll ask for "handgun preference" and then list AR's and shotguns, two nominal long-arms?
My pole is the genuine article, licensed to conceive.

They are handguns
Shotguns: Taurus Judge 410 revolver
AR: AR-24 9mm
The Judge is not a shotgun I don't care how you look at it.
:yikes:
Retraction! Retraction! Is it too late for a retraction!? With the above statement, let me retract my earlier statement and simply say, "Alex, you tricky little devil. I'll take the Glock and 1911. You can keep those other two.
The judge is technically a shotgun because it fires shot-shells and is chambered for a 410 shotgun round, just because its a revolver doesn't mean it isn't also a shotgun. And I never specified that the AR was a carbine just called it an AR.

ie.....poll
As for the .410, I wouldn't use that on a pheasant, much less a human.
I actually got shot with a .410 when I was 16...perfect center of mass in the back at about 50 yards. My buddy swung on a late flushing bird and didn't realize I was in the line of sight. Damned lucky. I was pretty pissed. It went thru a field jacket, liner, flannel shirt, and long john shirt. My girlfried had a helluva time picking all the shot out of my back.
I trust you were shot with an actual shotgun and not a revolver masquerading as one....yes?
