    Yes it is. So are the guns themselves. What my family experienced is that the larger 12 ga reduced the recoil a lot more than the smaller 20 ga gun. I suggest you shoot 2 mossbergs (one that’s 20ga and then one that’s 12ga) and see for yourself.

    Also of note is that there are greater ammo options for a 12ga.

    I’m not an expert however, I literally just got into guns a year ago after I asked myself what would Picard do, and I realized he would be armed.

      Picard would be armed.

      All of my firearms have been inherited/gifts, I’m not hot on purchasing more. The shotgun is a 20g single, great for birds and some asshole coming up the walk. After that it’s a 10/22 with 5 10rnd mags and a 25. I know I know .22lr isn’t a lot. I’m banking on them being dissuaded from continuing by the knowledge that I can put a lot of metal down range for a few minutes if need be.
