My department switched to all semi auto shotguns and run slug only.
We also got rid of the bean bag shotguns for less lethal after an incident where one of the bags actually penetrated into a person. Subsequent testing showed they had a significantly higher muzzle velocity than they were supposed to. We now have select officers armed with a 40mm launcher for less lethal. Much more effective as well.
Id have no issue taking a hostage shot with my 870 inside my house using slugs. Id even use Flite Control buckshot at closer distances. Bit if Im in a situation where a 2 inch accracy at 25 yards means life or death for my child, I'm not taking that shot. Even with my carbine.

No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"
