One trick many folks never learn regarding recoil of a shotgun is to press the weapon foreward, so that the muscles of the support arm absorb recoil rather than allowing all the recoil to translate to the shoulder. But even with that I prefer a 20 agauge at my age and eye sight.
I have a little semi in 20 gauge which has 21 rounds of ammo carried in & on the weapon in such a way that the gun is perfectly balanced at the reciever. I fashioned a mag extension so it holds seven, there are seven in a side-saddle on the reciever, and seven in a cuff on the stock. I can still shoot it one handed if need be, and there's a good pistol laser under the mag tube..
I have a pistol grip 12 20 inch with a light/laser sight attached for home defense...00 and slugs alternating.
I also have both a 12 and a 20 with 24 inch...loaded with slugs, and not for deer, but for longer range than the pistol grip. I will stop vehicles with these if necessary.
For the pistol grip I have a sling that will come across my belly to absorb the recoil. Works really nice.

This is pretty amusing, and somewhat painful to watch.
