I've been considering getting a shotgun for home defense and could use some input from those who've been there. I'm kind of stuck between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I know the 12-gauge packs a bigger punch, but I've heard the 20-gauge recoils less and may be easier to handle in tight spaces. What's your take?
When it comes to barrel length and stock setup, what features are must-haves for home defense? I'm after something reliable that won't get me tangled up during a stressful moment.
I'm also interested in what brands or models you've had good experiences with. Simplicity and dependability are key for me.
And how crucial is training? I've shot shotguns, but never really in a defensive way. Any specific drills or practice tips you'd recommend to get me ready?
