[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I like my Mossburg 500 20 ga pump. It is a six shot. Not a bad kick but it gets the job done.

A 12 was a bit much for me and a 410 isn't quite powerful enough although it is a great target gun.

Thanks...Im writing that down....I have a pea shooter a 22 automatic...not much for self defense...

I unloaded 2, 3 in Magnum 12 ga 00 buckshells from a pistol gripped Ithaca clone 3 weeks ago and I braced for it.

My thumb is still sore. It could be fractured L0L. Id hate to think what would have happened if I wasnt ready for it.

A 20 seems like a nice choice for average home use for all builds

I gave a 410 ga AK47 to a female freeper and loaded it with 4 shells containing 5 pellets each of 000 buck.

She handled it nicely sending 20, 30 cal pellets down range in short order..Blam blam blam blam..with little recoil.

I would not discount the lowly 410 for the ladys. The only real gripe I have about it is that the shells are pricey
