20 gauge recoil?

jeez this has been blown out of proportion. find a good 870 in 20g, fit it to her, and install a pachmayr f990 recoil pad on it before she ever pulls the trigger.

Smaller fingers can get bit by the shell elevator when loading on an 870. A semiauto also kicks less than a pump. One size doesn't fit all; even if you chop the stock.
 
Get a 20 and teach her to fire from the hip and to shoulder-depending. When shouldering make sure the butt pad is on the shoulder--NOT the biceps.

Raising the shooting side elbow to be leven w/ round (or nearly so) causes a natural 'pocket' to form on the shoulder. That is where the butt pad should be when firing-shotgun or rifle. Any other place magnifies 'kick'.

Pad on arm/biceps will hurt and on GF may bruise.
