Guy, did your friend get the 20ga? If so, have her get a 18.5" barrel for it for HD. See my patterns here:

I bought an 870 20 gauge youth for my young son and don’t see a big reduction in recoil over and 870 12 gauge. Perhaps the gun is just too light to offset the recoil. He will shoot one box of target loads before he is ready to call it quits for the day. When I use the gun with 3” buck shot, it kicks quite a bit more. I put a Blackhawk adjustable stock on it so it fits us both (he is 4’3 and I am 6’3) and hope to see some improvement in felt recoil for him (I miss looking at the wood stock though). Perhaps a full sized 12 gauge with reduced recoil loads would have been a better choice.

About time to circle back here. Dianne did purchase a 20GA Mossberg combo set. Hopefully that means she'll get involved in more than self defense, but she is focusing on SHTF with Obama's administration in.
She's followed up on ammo suggestions here. Thanks all.

You could always get a 20gauge to 44magnum adapter for it
