I've been thinking about getting a shotgun for home defense and could use some insights. I'm debating between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I know the 12ga packs a bigger punch, but I've heard the 20ga has less recoil, which might be better for tight spots in the house. What do you all think?
I'm also curious about what to look for in barrel length and stock design. What features really matter when you need to defend your home? Any brands or models that have worked well for you? I'm after something that's reliable and straightforward.
And on the training side, how important is it? I've shot a few shotguns but nothing extensive. What kind of practice or drills should I consider to really be prepared?
