Hey, everyone. Great feedback on the Marine shotgun. I read all the points you made to my wife, offered my own opinion (start with a smaller gun) and watched her carefully... I know the signs! She is only going to be happy with that one gun. I've been thinking of getting a Mossberg 500 for my first shotgun (generally I want one because I don't have a shotgun yet, they are reputed to be reliable and good for home defense/TEOTWAWKI and aren't very expensive) but hey, if we end up getting the Marine for my wife and she doesn't like it, then (whahoo!) I end up with a sweet shotgun which will last forever and will digest most everything, by the sound of it.
Now I've gotta blip over to the Rifle forum and ask a question over there. ;-)
