I've seen very few of these guns and I don't understand why. It seams that everyone knows that the 12g reigns supreme, but I'm not buying it. I'll define Home Defense as the inside of my home and an average person. Not a special forces trained, tactical expert with an entry team in a jungle or urban war setting, and if an intruder makes it out the door, I'll let him go. I don't plan to shoot outdoors just inside in a defensive setting. (If they make it outside, then in theory I'm safe and since I'm not a cop or marine, I won't give chase) That being said, I live in a cape code house and there is not 1 position in my home that you can see more than 22 feet from 1 room to the next. Now the 20g is more powerfull at close range than a .357, .45acp, .40s&w etc (and those are all condsidered man stoppers). So for Home Defense (not police or military work) why aren't more people using a 20g?
The 20g would be easier on small frame people so my wife may not be as intimidated as the 12g.
It just seams that the experts always talk about the 12 cause it's a great military or police option, but I'm talking about my house.
Anything I'm missing here?
Thanks in advance
