I don't post often but I just had to share this and ask your advice. My wife has been very slow to warm up an interest to guns and shooting. There have always been guns in the house and I have asked her to accompany me to the range and to gun shows repeatedly over the years and she has never shown much interest. Today, when I got home from the pistol range, totally out of the blue, she says.. "You know what? .. I think what I would like is one of those pump shot-guns because of the intimidating noise it makes when you cock it ...I could take lessons and I would feel safer when I'm alone."
Well, let me tell you! Now, not only do I get to look for my next gun, but I've got a bright green light to shop for one for her too! What a wonderful day! Plus, I'll take a defensive shotgun course with her and we can try to build on that.
I'm thinking a Mossberg 500 Bantam in a 20 gauge might be about right, she's kind of petite and my Remington 870 is really not comfortable for her to shoulder. Any other suggestions of models for us to look at? ...she's really set on a pumper. Thanks.
