I guess it depends what you are up against, though I don't think people usually have the luxury of knowing that in advance!
There is a lot of fancy ammo out there, and it probably is necessary for going against heavily armored and well trained men.
I like to think that I'm better than Rambo, but...if it is a lot of heavily armored and well trained men, then it probably doesn't matter what I have.
'Course if it's just common thugs, they probably won't know the difference between bird 'n buckshot at distances between 5 and 15 feet--the shot just can't spread in that short of time.
I think it's good to ask others for opinions, but go with what you like. Do some shooting, or maybe take up hunting and get a good look at what that shot can really do on different game.
Hope you find something you're comfortable with-I like the tube full o' 00Buck, slugs on the stock, and heavy target load on the belt.
