My "personal defense" shell of choice is 1 ounce of 7 1/2 birdshot in a 12ga. it may not be uber tactical or marketed for this purpose but thats a helluva lot of little lead pellets moving really fast and I suppose it would ruin a badguys day just as well as something that cost 10 times more and if I miss its less likely to ruin my neighbors day
