My wife has mediocre firearms experience. She makes me leave an AR for her if i take all the guns for a big range day... she’ll settle for an ak. Pistol would be third choice and shotgun last, because she can get more rounds on target easier. A saiga 12might change that, but the only shotgun i have is a pump.

Edit- sorry- we are really getting off topic here. Plenty of “shotgun for HD” threads.
