Sunday With Blackthorn - 20 Ga For Home Defense

 20ga because.........I Hate Recoil!

Now having gotten that out of the way, I am a fan of shotguns for home defense. Despite what a lot of old timers told me when I said that i use 20ga for the recoil reduction "What are you talking about? 20ga shotguns are lighter which make recoil worse!"

Which was news to me because I've shot numerous 20ga shotties and for recoil I can definitively say that the recoil is not worse than a 12ga. The only time I found the recoil to be bad was when I used some 3" magnum loads. 

Which is why I use 2-3/4" #3 Buckshot, thank you very much.

But enough of my rambling, watch the video,and decide for yourself.
