- Pistol is easy to store where I can access it
- Pistol is easier for me to use to clear rooms
- Pistol will do everything a rifle will do to an intruder at distances of less than 30 feet
- I have nice things, things I don't want destroyed with buckshot going everywhere
- Shotgun is heavy and, like a rifle, not easy to store.
- I trust my semi-auto pistol more than I trust a semi-auto shotgun. I have seen some very fine semi-auto shotguns jam because 12 ga ammo pretty much sucks. As for pump-action shotguns - not into them at all! Noisy and cumbersome.
I'll have a glock in my hand for sure.
For all the reasons you cited but also because I shoot the pistols every week and am very comfortable with either.
