I've been considering a shotgun for home defense and could use some recommendations. I'm stuck between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I get that the 12ga packs more punch, but I've heard the 20ga is easier to manage indoors with less recoil. What do you all think?

What barrel length should I aim for? I want something that feels comfortable and easy to maneuver. Any specific stock setups or features I should prioritize?

I'm also looking for solid models or brands that are known to be reliable. Simplicity is key for me.

Lastly, how much training is necessary? I've handled shotguns before, but never in a serious context. What kind of practice should I be focusing on to really be prepared?
 
I like the 20 ga Shockwave with brace, light/laser, RDS.
