These are the two that popped into my head when I read the original post. I was considering both before I bought my 20g Franchi Affinity...as they are similar in size and weight, but not so much in price.

Looking at the Mossberg SA-20 Turkey or Youth, with a mag extension possibly.
I have Win1400s, Rem 1100s and 11-87s, 12 and 20.
Trust me ALL the above Remingtons are heavier than the 1400.
If granny can't handle the 1400 12 ga, she can't handle ANY 12 ga shotgun.
I have a 5 1/2 pound 20ga O/U she could probably hold up to fire, but I bet lunch money ONE SHOT and she would quit because it hurt.

Yeah, the Mossy SA-20 Youth and Turkey both weigh about 5.5lbs. The 1400 I think is something like 6.5lbs. Also, the shorter barrel should help pull the weight towards the butt. I think that's part of the problem: the weight is in the 28in barrel.
Build her a lightweight AR-15.
AR-15 with a decent red dot optic. You can leave the red dot turned on for years before the battery will need to be replaced.

I can pose the question, but I'm not sure if she's ok with EBRs.
The 223/556 would actually be safer than a 9mm or 12 gauge buckshot round inside of a home.
