A pistol may be compact but it can only shoot 1 projectile at a time. A shotgun on the other hand shoots many small projectiles at one time so it can do much more damage. Any shotgun should work good for self defense just get a reliable brand and you will be good. If you really need a pistol I would recommend a large caliber such as a .45 since anything else like a 9mm or .40 may not stop the subject with one shot. I would recommend the HK USP.45 since I have heard good things about it and many special forces use it. Another good pistol that has proven itself time after time is the M1911 (colt.45) which many company's make these days I wouldn’t recommend a pistol but rather a shotgun.
