Esox 357,

You are shifting back and forth about birdshot. I spent 26 years in law enforcement and used a variety of ammo in shotguns. I say birdshot in a 12 gauge is far superior to any handgun or rifle round in most residential settings because it will not over-penetrate like solids tend to do. It is a manstopper at residential ranges and rest assured LEOs use fine birdshot, #4 Buck, 0Buck, 00 Buck and slugs as the need requires.

Regardless of what you use as a defense load, DO NOT MISS and then the BG's body will decelerate whatever ammo you chose to employ.
