Better Guns for Dresden and Co.

how about a sawed off 12 gage with slugs shot one handed for close quarters

One of the criticisms Murphy had of Harry's revolvers was that there were only 6 shots. Using a sawed off 12-gague would not help that.
I'm thinking more like a S&W 915. 9mm with 15 in the magazine and one in the chamber gives him 16 shots. Carry a couple of extra magazines and your set.
Granted 9mm doesn't have the stopping power of a .45, but it's still pretty good for the trade off of mobility and availability.

personally I never understood why there isn't a weapons master for the wardens. If they all get a sword and a cloak why not a set of armor or shield like swat or at the very least someone independent that makes stuff like the guy that made daredevils suits in the netflix show

Honestly I dont think the weight advantage of a 9mm vs .45 is going to register on a guy Harry's size. For Murphy or even the average sized man it becomes more pronounced (and there will almost always be more rounds per magazine).
Personally Ive always thought Harry's future gun needs to be a Taurus Judge so that he'd have a pistol with .45 rounds AND the versatility of .410 shotgun shells (and all the various wonders you can load into shells). only 5 shots, but that does offer some fun thematic connections to a pentagram.
Rasins:
I like the .410 with 5 shots. However, if he uses any of those special rounds he risks the weapon and not being able to use it any more.
Though with his diamonds, having enough weapons shouldn't be a problem now.

Not at all, this is an actual functional firearm that exists today, it has no unusual danger of blowing up or being damaged (they have specially designed rifling to hold up to firing shot).
