There isn't one way to stop zombies, because there's no definitive set of rules regarding zombies. We don't even know where they came from. In 28 Days later, it was a disease and they're fast. But in Shaun of the Dead, it's radiation, and they're slow. And in Resident Evil, it's medical experimentation, and they're fast again.
And I defend my choice of a pump and revolver, because the zombies that I'm referring to are slow. (Why slow? Why not? And you can't tell me differently.) And as I've seen in a pistol comp, once you're out of mags, you're done. You can barricade yourself in a Dick's Sport Goods with pallets of 9mm, but if you only have three pistol mags, only the ammo in those three mags will be of any use to you. With a pump, where you can load one at a time, you can last as long as you have ammo. Want a "realistic" scenario? How many mags do you have in your house at this moment? Because zombies, slow or fast, probably won't wait for you to find an abandoned National Guard armory.

Well if you want to be "realistic", why are you picking the speed of your zombies? What if they are just as fast as the zombies in Dawn of the Dead or 28 Days Later? If you have a pump action shotgun and a revolver with fast zombies, are they going to wait for you to reload one by one with your weapons? I don't think so. My weapons of choice are good for an type of situation as 7.62x51 has the range, the stopping power, and the capacity you need to fight off almost anything, and the .45ACP is also accurate and has lots of stopping power. By the way, the ammunition I chose is not only available in any military base, you can buy them online, any sporting goods store, pawn shop, etc. My weapons are also available online if you do the research, and I can buy as many magazines as I want (I live in Florida).
And it doesn't matter how zombies came to be, they still have the anatomy of a human being. That means severing the spinal cord with a bullet will immobilize the threat or a bullet to the pelvic region will throw off the alignment of the threat making it hard or unable to walk, run, etc.
