The 870 is a fine gun -- I have one myself -- but it doesn't soak up recoil. Breda, that pink one you linked to is a pump action 870, not a semi-auto.

I used to bounce off the low house when I learned with a 12 gauge, I weighed less then 70 lb then and recoil was a big deal. I still use that 20 gauge and had the stock cut to fit.

The payload difference between 20ga and 12ga is usually 1/8 or at most 1/4oz; when you're talking #7-1/2 or 8 shot, that's not a huge deal. Remington 11-87.

Shoots very soft. They make a "youth" model that fits women very well. Definetly a remington 1100 or 1187. Shoots very soft. They make a “youth” model that fits women very well.

Just don't wait till bird season opens to look for a used one.

She uses a Beretta Urika in 12 guage. She also has a recoil pad meant for ladies that clips to the strap of her Bra. The Gas-action of the Beretta really does tame 12 guage a LOT, and I prefer 12 guage for new shooters because more pellets in the air means a faster learning curve, and less frustration. Much more important is stance and form for recoil control. My wife is VERY recoil sensitive. She uses a Beretta Urika in 12 guage.
