Our weekly outing to the indoor range always includes taking a couple of the shotguns. Usually, Damsel takes her 20 gauge Remington 870 “Junior” shotgun.
She bought the junior model since it is lighter, shorter and a perfect size for people with smaller frames. She loves it, but every time I take my full sized Remington 870 12 gauge gun, she makes sure to fire a few rounds with it, too. The big Remington is heavier and has more recoil, but, as she puts it, “You never know when I might have to use this in a personal defense emergency, so I better know how to use it.”
I think she handles it OK.
