Hi leedesert-

Either shotgun, whether 20-gauge or 12-gauge, is a formidable tool in the hands of a determined homeowner.

A goblin coming through the window or through the backdoor need only sense your COMPLETE RESOLVE to defend home and hearth, he'll soon turn on his or her heels!

I've heard many positive comments about 20-gauge for people of slight build (men or women) who find this caliber less punishing than stepping-up to the powerful 12-gauge.

Regards,
