shotgun for wife

shotgun for wife
I tried this in a bar one night... Wife wasn't there... Guy knew wifey.. Deal was struck and I even invoked the "Black Black No Trade Back" clause...

When I informed wifey of the previous night's business transaction she came unglued I tell ya'!!!

Once the guy heard her yellin'... He invoked the "pig in a poke clause" and I still have wifey and 20+ years later I am trying not to bring up the deal she blew and now I am shoppin' for the cash to buy an American Made Autoloader...

- update
she did hold a a 20 ga 22 in nova and liked it.thought it was lighter than the mossberg 500 with 28in barrel she had been using. tried a few semi auto,but she liked pump action more-she likes being able to pump(more fun she says).
also tried a mossberg 500 bantam with 22in and liked that close to as good,she stated a little more weight than the nova but still ok.she stated that she wanted a cheeper priced gun to start with and if she went out more often after a few years she would upgrade.the bantam has two or three stock adapters to help adjust length.we can give that one to my son when he gets older,when and if she wants to upgrade.
ill have my brother in law send the nova and the rem 1100 home to try.the rem might be for me?
still looking.
she did try on a few vest,which can help with recoil-as i stated recoil is not a huge issue for her at this point,as she was able to go through a few boxes of 12g in full size mossberg with no problems.
 
ive always got my saiga 12 converted,for her to try--not the kind of gun to bring to a skeet/trap shoot.probably get nasty looks!! ha ha. how about with the 20 round drum-now she would think thats heavy!
 
As I told you -- 20 ga.

It is a better feeling gun for women just as it is a "handier" feeling gun to men. And the 20 ga. is darned effective -- w/3" shells can be made AS effective as a 2-3/4" 12.

Sorry for those know-everythings, but, I have never met a woman (and I've trained alot) who did not prefer a shorter-pull 20 ga. if given a choice. And the guage is popular enough that we can do that. HD?

In an apartment/Town House I would have to go with #4 Shot (.12 caliber pellets). But there are #4, #3 and #2 buckshot available in 2-3/4" and 3" as one moves up the ladder. No-one, man or woman, could reasonably feel undergunned with 18 pellets of copper-plated #2 Buckshot (.27 caliber) at 1,175 fps!

PS: And remember, the Mossberg 500 will hold five American 3" Magnums for "the hairy-chested man (or woman) of the house."
