Agree with Ted. The only problem is that the recoil from a 3 1/2” 00 buck magnum shell would probably flatten the average woman.
You are correct. My better half prefers her bi monthly recoil therapy with a 20 ga. I have a Browning 3.5" pump, with magnum loads that I use for ducks and geese. It does have a loud report and kicks like a mule.
Better half fired it one time and one time only.
