I've been on the hunt for a shotgun for home defense and could use some input from those with experience. I'm weighing 12-gauge against 20-gauge. Sure, the 12-gauge packs a punch, but I've heard the 20-gauge is more manageable with less recoil, especially in tight spaces. What's the trade-off here?
Also, what do I need to consider regarding barrel length and stock setup? I'm looking for something that's simple and reliable, so any specific models or brands you recommend would be great.
Lastly, how crucial is training for someone like me? I've messed around with shotguns a bit, but I want to feel prepared. What's the best way to practice for home defense situations?
