Actually, what is more important that what specific gun you wind up with, is taking the wife shooting it at across the room and down the hall range.

So she can see, and feel, where it hits, how big the pattern and what the kick is. Won't take much, but she has to know the lie about "can't miss witha shotgun", and the kick from personal experience.

She has got to know & experience what happens when it goes off. Beyond that , its all up to her. But less than that is not protecting her, its the opposite really.

good luck, what ever you choose.
