    I can get either shotgun. The M4 is close to $2600.00-wow!

    No idea where Tom's River is. But if you are Close to Easton, it might be worth the day trip.

If it hurts her she won't do much practicing. I highly recommend lightweight 38cal revolvers for smaller people. A 642 S&W would be a good choice. BTW, I wouldn't recommend any Mossberg SA for home defence.
    While I don't generally recommend shotguns for anything other than clays or hunting, and I say that having shot an inordinate amount of clays, for a woman, not knowing her proficiency with firearms, a .38 subnose is probably below a shotgun in the guns I would recommend for the same reason I generally don't care for light weight 20s, they recoil and aren't pleasant to shoot. And while something is better than nothing, get the girl something she likes shooting, especially for HD, because then she will want to shoot it and will practice with it.

    Anyway, OP, can I ask why the desire for a semi auto shotgun for HD over something else? Like even a NJ legal AR with 15 round mags? Or are you banking on the shotguns not getting ****ed with by the new dickgrabber, I mean governor?

    Good Morning Shooter! Presently I own a Tavor X95 -5.56 cal, rifle--sweetest rifle I have shot in my entire life. At 500 yards in the Marines I could hit the bullseye with a Colt M16--this rifle is even more accurate.

    Weaver Arm Nighthawk.

    Thank-fully our past Gov-Christy vetoed this proposal.
    A new Gov is in town-Gov. Murphy a Dem. who says he's going to reverse all of Christ's veto's!

    My Tavor X95 is legal along with the AR-15 rifles. I wonder if this new Gov bans all AR-15 weapon systems if the companies who made such weapons can make them legal again? A few years ago NJ banned all AR-15 rifles and the companies of these weapons found ways to make them legal again. Truthfully I wish I was better at law so I could understand what just might happen in NJ. This Tavor cost me $1800.00 & I don't wish to lose this fine rifle. I,m just wondering if my weapon ends up being banned if you can still use it for home defense in a lethal encounter.

    Your 500% right about points you made about a woman shooting a shotgun verus a Tavor rifle> my wife loves the Tavor and is dam accurate with this beauty of a rifle.
    PS Having fought for this country to have freedom is a joke because in NJ they are trying to take away all our 2nd amendment rights. Any opinions you have about the fore-mentioned -please share.

    Time for more coffee!

    You are probably in the minority on that.

    I've been splitting time for the last couple years between two 1301s. They are lightweight and easy to handle. My 5'2 wife is relatively recoil sensitive and doesn't have an issue shooting them.

    They've been incredibly reliable. One has roughly 4,000 rounds through it. I can only remember one issue - a fte toward the end of a class when it was completely dry. A little lube and it's been excellent since. The other has about 2,000 rounds through it and had a few issues (FTEs) in class a few weeks ago, but that was when shooting from odd positions and ever single gun had issues (870s, 590s, 1301s, M4s, etc).

    They also are inexpensive compared to a Benelli. At this point the 1301 is worth looking into, it has a lot going for it.

    It's out by the ocean. Not far from LBI, Seaside Hights, Point Pleasant. If you drew a straight line west you'd wind up in center City Philly. Easton would be about 1.5hr drive

    They can be had for about $1600 if you dig.

    I caught my M2 3 gun on sale for 1200 a few weeks ago. It was the 21" model and not the new version (24" barrel) but I was okay with that. I was very happy to snatch it up for that price!

    I'd get the 1301, if it's in your budget.

    Mine has been extremely reliable, and I don't pamper my defensive shotguns.
