Most of those are antiques. 10 gauges only came back briefly a few years ago for waterfowl hunters who had to use steel shot per environmental regulations. Updated 12 gauge shells changed all that and sent the 10 gauges back to the museums.
Not. Still quite popular and a variety of loads, buckshot, birdshot, slugs, are readily available. I Keep my 10 guage beside my bed with 3 1/2 inch #4 Buckshot loads in it. Been looking for an 8 guage (picked up some slug loads for one cheap a while back), but they seem to be pretty much obsolete. And I'd really, really like to get my hands on a 4 guage (I've only seen one and I've wanted one ever since. Looks a bit like a small recoilless rifle that needs to be mounted on a jeep or something). Now, a 4 guage is my idea of adequate home defense.

Not entirely.
