I've been thinking about getting a shotgun for home defense and would love to hear your thoughts on what works best. I'm weighing the 12-gauge against the 20-gauge. I get that the 12ga has more stopping power, but I've also heard the 20ga is easier to manage, especially in tight spaces.
What should I be considering for barrel length or stock setup? Are there specific features that really shine for home defense? Also, if you have any favorite models or brands that have been reliable, I'd like to know those.
Lastly, how critical is training? I've shot shotguns before, but not with that focus. What kind of practice would you recommend to be ready if the need ever arises?
