🔫 12 Gauge vs 20 Gauge vs 28 Gauge – Which Shotgun Gauge Is Right for You?

One of the most common questions from new and experienced shooters alike is: “What’s the best shotgun gauge?”

The truth is, there isn’t a single “best” gauge—only the best gauge for your needs.

✅ 12 Gauge
• Maximum power and versatility
• Huge range of ammunition options
• Ideal for waterfowl, turkey, hunting, and home defence
⚠️ More recoil and typically heavier fi****ms

✅ 20 Gauge
• Excellent balance of power and comfort
• Less recoil than a 12 gauge
• Great all-round option for most shooters
⚠️ Slightly less payload and range than a 12 gauge

✅ 28 Gauge
• Light recoil and lightweight shotguns
• Fantastic for upland game and clay shooting
• Ideal for youth and recoil-sensitive shooters
⚠️ More limited ammunition choices and less power

Whether you’re chasing ducks, busting clays, introducing a young shooter to the sport, or simply looking for the perfect all-round shotgun, understanding the strengths and limitations of each gauge can help you make the right choice.

Which gauge do you shoot most often and why? Let us know in the comments! 👇
