I have heard a lot of folks talk about the kick of a 20ga.
First of all there is a lot of good ways to reduce recoil in a gun of any nature.
Also - one has to get away from the mind set that you need to deliver a 12ga payload with a 20ga gun. A round of 2&3/4" #3 buckshot delivers the energy of 2 rounds of .357 Magnum handgun ammunition. Isn't that enough ?
My previous post on this indicated that I was not for using the 20ga for LE . The main reason for me is the potential for getting the 12ga and 20ga ammo mixed.
If all LE shotguns were made in 20ga, I wouldn't see anything to stop me from giving the thumbs up. Some of the specialy rounds now made for 12ga. only, can easily be made in 20ga.
