I'm in the market for a shotgun for home defense and could use some advice from people who know their stuff. I'm weighing the pros and cons of 12-gauge versus 20-gauge. I get that 12-gauge packs more punch, but I'm hearing 20-gauge is easier to manage with less recoil, which sounds appealing for tight indoor spaces.
What should I prioritize when it comes to barrel length, stock options, or any specific features that are crucial for home defense?
I'm also interested in hearing about brands or models that have worked well for you, something that's straightforward and dependable.
And let's talk training. I've handled shotguns before but never seriously. What kind of practice should I be doing to really be ready if I need to use it?
