I use a PCC as a defensive weapon for its ease of handling (shorter than a shotgun), its lesser noise (I don't plan on wearing my range hearing protection ndoors during a home invasion), less muzzle flash & blast, and more controllability for follow-up shots. I have long, narrow hallways and would likely go deaf from anything louder than my 9mm carbine. I'm not knocking anyone's choice for something different than my own, and have my own valid reasons for my choice. But with a bead-sighted shotgun, I have yet to find a loa that's accurate withou the use of a scope or another barrel with iron sights. Besides that, slugs end to run close to a dollar a round, vs. a 50rd box of 9mm still costing less than $20. Just my opinion, and I would choose to keep a shotgun loaded with buckshot. Up close, it probably wouldn't spread a pattern too wide, more likely less than 4".
