Another semi-literate headline writer.
Writing headlines used to be both an art and and a science. Now it is neither.

Mossberg makes a few nice 20 gauge models suitable for home D. Not sure I agree with the author about lack of industry support.

Really stupid grammar errors make the author look like a retard before you even read the article. You see that and thnk, “What can that dumbass say that’s worth reading?” And then you answer yourself - “nothing” - and move on.

I had a Mossberg 20 gauge with a pistol grip and 20 inch barrel for home defense, but it fell out my boat, along with several other weapons...worst day of fishing ever.

Exactly.
Personally, I think 12 gauge is better, cuz more physical shot pellets are sent down range.
Plus you do NOT need high powered double aught magnum rounds. They will tear you and the house apart.
Low recoil rounds, alternating between buck and #8 in the tube is a fine load for shooters of all ages and strengths.
The ever faithful 870, pump, tactical, 12 gauge is the go to firearm INSIDE our dwellings.

If you're going to shelter in place and lack confidence in training and handling a handgun, perhaps a shotgun is ok.
For clearing a house after a 'bump in the night', I'm not a fan of going around corners with a long gun.
Once you're outside, things change again, depending on where "outside" is.

I’m not a big fan of pistol grip shotguns, but if that’s the preference, the 20 gauge is much easier to control in that configuration than the 12. Of course low recoil loads can be had in the 12,and that helps. The 20 with it’s payload of #3 buckshot is certainly sufficient for home defense, in either a pistol grip or standard configuration. My wife’s defense shotgun is a 870 Remington “youth” model filled with #3 buck.
