I purchased a 20guage Remington 870 with Knoxx Stock for HD.

Why did I go with the 20 guage? I wanted my 12yr old daughter and wife to be able to handle it and I read stuff similar to this on the internet - I specifically recommend the 20 gauge for women and recoil-sensitive men who dislike the blast and recoil of the 12 gauge. "Delivering roughly the ballistic force of two .44 Magnum rounds at once," comments the knowledgeable Ayoob, the 20 "delivers 75% of the lead for only 50-60% of the recoil".
My daughter can handle it just fine and can get all 7 rounds down range in a hurry. The Knoxx Stock is pretty incredible.
Now my buddy in Virginia has been chastising me for this purchase. He said a Remington 1100 in 12 guage would not have kicked any harder and would have been a better HD gun.
What do you all think?
