I've been seriously considering a shotgun for home defense and would love some input from experienced users. I'm stuck deciding between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I get that the 12-gauge packs more punch, but I've heard the 20-gauge is easier to handle and has less recoil, especially in tight spaces. What do you all think?
When it comes to features, what's crucial for a home defense shotgun? Barrel length, stock type, or anything else? I want something straightforward and reliable. Also, any specific models or brands you swear by?
Lastly, how important is training for this? I've shot shotguns casually but nothing extensive. What kind of practice should I focus on to feel confident if the need arises?
