Looking for gas operated semi-auto shotgun for shooting trap with my wife. My full size 12 gauge is just too big and heavy for her. I would love one with an adjustable stock for length of pull but can’t seem to find any.

    A second-hand (pre-Cerberus/Freedom Group) Remington 1100 or 11-87 in twenty-gauge. I am partial to the “special field” version with the straight grip.

    Any adjustable LOP would be aftermarket, or you can have her measured and get the factory stock altered by a competent gunsmith. Note that I wrote “gunsmith,” not “AR assembler” - the two are conflated far too often these days.

    Beretta 1301 or A300 can be adjusted by removing the butt plate and adding/removing included spacers using a screwdriver. If you install an adapter to use the Magpul shotgun stock it’s even easier. Will look and feel like a ye-olde shotgun but be extremely light. Be careful though as full power loads will hurt.

    You could also consider a 20 gauge shotgun. They tend to be much smaller and certainly have less recoil.

        Have you seen the reduced recoil shells like the Winchester AA and RST? That may help with the manual actions if they also fit well.
