I've been considering getting a shotgun for home defense and could use some input from anyone who's been there. I'm caught up between going for a 12-gauge or a 20-gauge. The 12-gauge seems like it packs a punch, but I've heard the 20-gauge is more manageable with less recoil, especially in tight spaces. What do you think?
On the practical side, what's ideal when it comes to barrel length and stock setup? I'm looking for something that feels intuitive and easy to use. Any specific models or brands that have worked for you? Reliability is key for me.
Also, how crucial is training? I've fired shotguns here and there, but haven't really trained seriously. What kind of practice routines have you found helpful for being prepared in a home defense scenario?
