Yeah if it's strictly for home defense go with a shotgun.

A shotgun is inexpensive and very effective with buckshot (great literal bang for your buck), but a pistol is going to be the easiest to maneuver in a home, and in general easier for a beginner to handle (IMO). If you have the $$$, get both, if you don't, start with the 9mm and add the shotgun later.
As far as choosing your first pistol:

For home defense I'm choosing a shotgun all day.
Shooting inside will have you deaf and your vision will get all blurry too from the shock. It's not like we ever shoot indoors without hearing protection so you aren't used to it. I'm not trying to deal with that with a pistol. Only con is size but just don't get one with a super long barrel and you'll be alright.

I agree with everyone on a shotgun. I prefer a pistol for quick access but the drawback is you might kill someone across the street or your next door neighbor if you miss.[emoji]128561[/emoji]
So yeah a shotgun for general home defense especially if you are a beginner.

Hollowpoints (aka JHP) help avoid overpenetration (through walls, etc), and should be a pistol shooter's defensive ammo of choice for a variety of reasons (see link): http://dailycaller.com/2014/02/25/m...-the-best-defensive-ammo-for-concealed-carry/
Before the gun is trusted with your life, you should run enough of a given model of ammo through your gun to feel comfortable that it will feed reliably, as the geometries of some hollowpoints can feed poorly with certain models of guns. (It's not a bad idea to test out any ammo/gun combination.) Ball ammo (aka Full Metal Jacket, or FMJ) is cheaper and is just fine for range use.
A pistol and a shotgun are both good for home defense, if used properly. What you decide to use depends on what you feel most comfortable using with minimal thinking involved in the heat of the moment. I may prefer a pistol, but a shotgun might work better for you.

If you use a pistol for home defense you can get. I think the name is guard dog or something like that they come in a blue box and are designed for home use and are made so if they hit walls that they shouldn't over penetrate. I'll see if I can find the article that I read about it.

I'd be skeptical of her having any power like that until January.
However, I'm planning on getting purchases done before the election in Nov simply due to the fact demand (and probably prices) will likely skyrocket when Hillary is elected, and probably leading to ammo shortages again like we saw with Pres. Obama (the most successful firearms salesman in history). Notice I said WHEN she is elected, not if. No, I don't like Hillary (hell no), but I really don't see any other outcome of this election. Trump is a lifelong friend of the Clintons, and I think he's just been playing the fool to make people vote for "not Trump" to guarantee a win for Hillary.
I think the left realizes that it is nearly impossible to take guns out of the hands of citizens in this country (except for when state of emergencies are called, like Katrina, etc). Instead, they will most likely tax the **** out of ammo to choke off our supply... so stock up. Even if that never happens (hopefully not), ammo is good for decades if you store it properly.

Agreed. I really really doubt that would ever happen. What I do think could happen is what I described above: applying economic pressure so that gun use is no longer financially do-able.

New pickup from lasT week. Sig Sauer P220 in .45acp. Just turned 21 not too long ago and decided to celebrate my new freedom the American way. First Sig I've owned and This thing is incredible. I've always been more of a rifle/shotgun guy but I really like this gun. It has fed literally every brand of ammo the WalMart I work at carries with no issues. And its super easy to conceal. even with the green dot on it, I can still carry it on my waistband with no discomfort. I can definitely see myself dabbling in the world of double action's more in the future.

I own one. Great handgun. If you need a smaller handgun this is a solid choice. If concealabilty is not a factor consider the glock 19. I have larger hands and really like being able to have a full grip on the firearm. I actually have a pinky extender on the mag I carry which makes a world of difference to me.
