I've been looking into shotguns for home defense and could use some tips from those who've been there. I'm weighing the 12-gauge against the 20-gauge. I get that 12-gauge packs a punch, but I've heard 20-gauge might be easier to manage in close quarters. What's been your experience with their stopping power and recoil?
Also, what should I keep in mind when it comes to barrel length? I'm thinking about stock setups too — anything that can really make a difference in a tight space.
Any specific models or brands you trust? Reliability is key for me. Plus, how crucial is training? I've shot a bit before, but I want to feel ready in case I ever have to use it. What kind of practice routine would help boost my confidence?
