Need suggestions for 20 ga pump

[itzkwik]

Need to find a 20 gauge pump,20-22. " barrel for a 5'5" lady for self defense at home,what do you experts suggest I look at?

Not an expert, but my wife (5'4") uses a Rem 870 youth synthetic. Stay by the bed with the magazine loaded with OO buckshot. Nice and short and easy to wheel around in tight spaces. Nice price too. Tim

Mossberg or Remington. Both manufacturers make 20 gauges with shorter barrels. Can't go wrong with either. You could could also cut a barrel back to an appropriate length if you locate a good used one.

Call your local Academy to see if they have it in stock. Not a bad price for a great shotgun.

Remington 870 youth 20 ga. 21" barrel with a shorter LOP from the factory. I've wanted one for a while but have never put the money down.

Academy carries these pretty regularly.

Ive heard the youth size guns kick a lot which makes sense seeing you have a lot less gun to absorb recoil. I know it costs much more but a 20 gauge 1100 with a short and long barrel could be a good option. She might actually like shooting the 1100

I have a Remington 870 20 ga. express magnum youth with 21" barrel. Shot very little. I would part with it if anyone is interested.

I now use a Mossberg 20Ga. youth model due to all the surgeries I've had on my neck. I added an extra slipon recoil pad, while it provides additional protection, it also gives me a full 13" LOP.

I have a Rem 1100 12 ga with 25" barrel. My wife like shooting it. Recoil is FAR less than her dad's 870 12ga.

agree w/ 20 gauge auto vs. pump, for the lady.
