I am interested in getting a rifled shotgun for deer hunting with sabot slugs. I have heard tons of complaints about 12 gauge recoil in slugs, so I am considering a 20 gauge. However, I am worried about the availability of ammo for the 20 gauge.

Is the 20 gauge gaining popularity for slugs? Are the 20 gauge slugs readily available?
