Thanks for all your input. Clearly several things to think about...gauge, type of shot, ease of availability etc. Appreciate your thoughts.

That's what I'm here for.

Something that I have to consider is that I can't see worth beans without my glasses. It they are close enough that I can see them clearly I would go for my .38. But with a shotgun accuracy is less of an issue if they are further away and I can't grab for my glasses.
