I'm in the market for a shotgun for home defense and I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm debating between a 12-gauge and 20-gauge. Sure, 12ga packs a punch, but I've read that 20ga is easier to control in tight spaces. What do you all think?

I'm also curious about barrel length and stock options. Is a shorter barrel better for maneuverability? Any features that are must-haves?

What models do you guys swear by? I'm looking for something reliable, nothing too fancy.

Lastly, how crucial is training? I've shot before but never really done any serious practice. What kind of drills or routines should I be doing to prepare myself? Thanks in advance for any tips!
