I'm in the market for a shotgun for home defense and would love some feedback. I'm debating between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I know the 12 has a lot of stopping power, but I've heard the 20 is easier to handle and has less recoil, especially in tight spaces.
What should I focus on for barrel length and stock setup? Any specifics that really come in handy for defense situations?
Also, do you have recommendations for brands or models? I want something reliable without too many bells and whistles.
Lastly, how crucial is training? I've shot shotguns a bit, but never really trained. What kind of practice should I look into so I feel ready in case I need to use it?
