I have shot inside w/o hearing protection a 9mm, 44 mag, 45 acp and 12ga they are all freaking loud.
Personally, I'll take a shotgun any day of the week over a handgun for HD. Bottom line, handguns suck at stopping people while shotguns excel at it, shotguns suck at fitting on the belt while handguns excel at it.
Coming from someone that has hearing loss,( me and ringing Tinnitus) I don't disagree its a better choice, a louder , much louder better choice was my point. But that ringing doesn't stop its with you 24/7 so why yep its a good choice to hit a target at 3am, its also the best way to end up with what I have. Not fun, you kinda get used to it kinda.
