I've been thinking about a shotgun for home defense and would love to hear from those with experience. I'm stuck between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I know the 12 has the stopping power, but I've heard the 20 might be better for handling indoors due to less recoil. What do you all think?

When it comes to barrel length and stock setup, what should I prioritize for a home defense scenario? Any specific models or brands that have proven reliable for you?

Also, how crucial is training? I've shot some shotguns but haven't done serious practice. What kind of drills or practice sessions would you recommend to be really prepared?
