I've been looking into shotguns for home defense and could use some guidance from those who've been there. I'm debating between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I get that the 12-gauge packs a bigger punch, but I've heard the 20-gauge is easier on the recoil, which might be better for close quarters. What's your take?
Also, what features should I consider? Barrel length and stock setup seem to be important, but I'm not sure what else to prioritize. Anyone have favorite models or brands that are straightforward and dependable?
And about training — I've shot shotguns, but never for home defense. How should I practice to feel ready? Any tips would be appreciated!
