Very Happy My first "real" weapon, moving soon to a rural location, complete with numerous varmints from rats to coyotes, & sometimes "roaming migrant workers" looking for an opportunity to increase their wealth. Last weekend after "stalking a big fat rat" on and off for a couple of hours, I realized the Crossman was not going to do the job after several good hits, so i went to a local gunshop and listened to the advice of the shopkeeper and walked out with a Mossberg 500,12 guage, pump, 18.5 inch barrell general purpose shotgun. I call it my "Window washer", anyways on a serious note, I am a large, male in reasonable shape, my only experience with guns was as an infantryman over 30 years ago, gun safety stays with you if you have your weapon wihin arms reach 24/7 for a year. I would like to teach my girlfriend to handle it ( she is more than willing } after some recent bizzare crimes in our area. Have not even fired it yet, may today. Do you think the kick would be too much for her?
Any helpful comments welcome.

Thanks Don

She might be disappointed with 12 gauge shotgun because of strong kick.
I'd recomment to start women's shooting training with .410 shotgun due to its light weight and comfortable recoil.

Or a 20 gauge, the recoil isn't too bad on it either.
