I've been eyeing shotguns for home defense and could use some input from those who've been there. I'm stuck between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I get that the 12-gauge packs a punch, but I've heard the 20-gauge is easier to manage, especially in tight spaces. What's your take?

What should I focus on when it comes to barrel length and stock setup for a home defense shotgun? I'm looking for something straightforward and reliable — any specific models or brands you trust?

And what about training? I've shot a shotgun before, but it was just casual. How should I be prepping if I want to feel confident when it counts?
