She always liked 12ga., but couldn't actually shoot it for shit.
Just because a shooter likes something, has no bruising, and "had a good time" doesn't mean they're not flinching or jerking from recoil anticipation.
Local favorite shop had one on the used rack. If it had the compact stock, the wife would have gotten a new shotgun. I know GJM's wife also uses a Compact M2 20 ga.
