Any practical reason to buy a 20 gauge shotgun…

12 gauge is the shotgun to own, cheapest and readily available ammo. Packs a punch and good spread for all needs. 20 gauge is a lighter recoil, which is nice for younger shooters, new shooters, women, and just people who like shooting with low recoil. I personally have multiple 12 gauge shotguns and am in the market for a .410 because my kids are 8 and below and I’d like them to start shooting shotguns. I’ll probably be in the market for a 20 gauge in a few years.
