I've been thinking about getting a shotgun for home defense and could use some insights from anyone who's used one. I'm stuck between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I know the 12ga packs a punch, but I've heard the 20ga is easier to manage in tight spaces. What should I really consider? Barrel length seems crucial — I'm leaning toward something shorter for maneuverability. What stock setups work best? Also, any specific models you've had luck with? I'm aiming for something reliable and straightforward. And on the training side, how much practice should I be doing? I shot a few times before, but nothing serious. What's a good routine to get ready for home defense?
