At the phantastic Redbrush Rifle Range in Indiana I had access to both a falling plate machine and a timer.
I had always considered myself an above average shooter with the handgun but was surprised how much faster I did with the Remington 870 at the falling plates, it was over one second faster. By the way, those plates fell much harder....
A handgun is easier to conceal and carry, a rifle has reach and power, a shotgun gives coverage, speed, and power at closer range.
If I can grab a shotgun to defend my life, I will.
