If it's close, I'm trained by the United States Army Infantry to react fast and shoot accurately at the same time. Also I can reload in short periods of time like 1-3 seconds rather than 30 seconds. One .308 will knock down a zombie no problem, giving me enough time to escape. So would a buck shot but you have 8+1 at the most. What would you do if they were closing in fast and you run out of ammo on the shotgun? Use your revolver? After 6 shots, then what? You picked the 2 slowest reloading weapons and you except the zombies to wait for you to reload? You might as well you a bolt action LOL! I will live thanks to my "stupid" magazines, and you will die reliably with faithful pump action and you revolver.

If you had read my posts or knew anything about shotguns, you would've known that with most pump shotguns, you don't have to load the magazine to fire it. Just open the breech, drop a shell into the ejection port, close the breech, and fire. If you do that, you can fire as long as you have shells. See the videos below:
