Original Message I am woman looking for a shotgun for home defense. I don't know anyone who owns one and would need to purchase one before taking it to a range to get training. I am familiar with handguns, but "long" guns are a whole new world.

Any opinions on type, make and gauge is welcome.

I have been told by gun shop people that Mossberg (500 model)is good and that Remington (870 home defense or Marine Magnum) is better. They all seem to agree that pump action is the best for my needs. I don't know what to choose for gauge. Since I haven't had a chance to fire one, I am worried that the recoil on a 12ga will be too much. Maybe a 20ga? I am average size and strong, so I could probably learn anything, but it needs to be comfortable. I was very surprised by the weight of these guns and am also worried it will be hard to hold it for a length of time if needed. PLEASE HELP.

If I was your girlfriend, sister, mom, what would you recommend.

Thanks again for the help.
