I've been looking into shotguns for home defense and could use some input from those with experience. I'm debating between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I know 12-gauge has that extra stopping power, but I've heard the 20-gauge is easier to handle due to less recoil, especially in tight spaces. What do you think?
I also want to know about barrel length and stock types. What features really matter when you're relying on it for protection? Any specific brands or models you trust that are simple and reliable?
Lastly, how important is training? I've shot shotguns casually, but not in a serious context. What kind of practice should I look into to feel prepared?
