I love both!
Though I get to shoot handguns more often, I just love the power a 12 ga generates

Long gun or handgun? What do you prefer?

Geez, that's kind of like asking "Which do you prefer, eating or drinking?"
Handguns are convenient because they can be worn on the person without interfering with normal daily activities. Since the "best gun in a gunfight" is the one you can put your hands on at the moment you need it, it wins in this respect. However, they can't hold a candle to a rifle or shotgun for power and accuracy. Wear the handgun, keep a good rifle and shotgun close at hand and use the handgun to fight your way to them.

I like 'em all too, but I think I would probably end up gravitating towards my 870 as the single firearm I use the most (or at least would be the one I'd reach for in an emergency).

i vacillate.
I think deep down, I'm more of a handgunner, but I do love shooting rifles.
One thing I am definitely NOT is a shotgunner.

Used to be heavily into handguns, but I'm mostly into the 2 evil puppy-killing rifles now (AK and AR).

Normally handgun, but I can get VERY interested in a long-gun, depending on what it is...

no interest for me in shotguns, very little in handguns.
The former just never appealed to me, the latter just seems more often than not an inconvenient necessity rather than something I enjoy in it's own right.
Rifles though....

Anything that sends it down range!
I have to look at it from what I can use where.
I recently found I can shoot almost as well with a crossbow as a rifle (just slightly shorter distance). Had restrictions on firearms in the area, and needed to clear some feral hogs.
Rifle, pistol, bow, pike, knife, all these weapons have their place and uses. the main thing is to find what you are comfortable with and use it.

I like shotgun for target shooting, handgun for big game hunting, and rifle for skeet and trap.
