My mom is throwing around the idea of a HD shotgun. She's a very small framed woman,5 foot tall, and doesnt like recoil at all. My thought is to get a cheaper double in 12 gauge, load it with Aquila mini shells and cutdown the stock for a comfortable length of pull. My thought is most doubles are shorter and lighter than the average auto or pump and the recoil of the mini shells is basically nothing. Also if its in 12 gauge if she ends up being able to handle more recoil comfortably there is a wide range of ammo available for her.
Or should i go for something like a semi auto 20 gauge or even a 410? I want to stay away from pumps because im worried that she doesnt have the uper body strength/reach to not short stroke a pump.
So what do you guys recommend?
