I'm in the market for a shotgun specifically for home defense and could use some pointers. I'm debating between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I get that the 12-gauge packs a punch, but I've heard that a 20-gauge is easier to manage, especially in tight spaces. What have you all found works best?
I'm also curious about the ideal barrel length and whether a shorter stock setup is better for maneuverability. Any particular models or brands you've had success with? I'm aiming for something straightforward and dependable.
Lastly, I know training is crucial. I've shot shotguns before, but I want to be prepared. What kind of practice do you suggest to get comfortable and confident for home defense?
