I'm in the market for a shotgun for home defense and would love to hear what others recommend. I'm weighing my options between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I know the 12-gauge packs more of a punch, but I've heard the 20-gauge has less recoil, which might be better for close quarters. What do you guys think?
What about barrel length? I assume something around 18 to 20 inches would be ideal for maneuverability. And what features should I focus on? I'm looking for reliability and ease of use in stressful situations.
Also, any recommendations on specific models or brands? I'm all about keeping it simple.
Lastly, I'm curious about training. I've shot before, but more for fun than anything serious. If I'm going to use a shotgun for home defense, what kind of practice should I consider to really be ready?
