MDShooters-
Shotgun newbie here, looking for some advice/lessons learned. I am looking to buy my first shotgun which will be multi-purpose. I anticipate the occasional skeet/clay target shooting, and most likely home defense.
I like the look of the tactical shotguns, but admittedly haven't shot one, so I don't know if it's practical. I definitely like the idea of it holding multiple rounds.
12ga or 20ga?
Recommended Length? (I'd assume long for target, shorter for HD, but what's the average if your looking to use it for both?)
Difference in ammo for target shooting vs home defense?
Guess I should add I own my own home, not in an apartment complex or anything with thin walls, so that's not necessarily a worry.
My price range is likely $500 or less
