Sounds you got a keeper there, Monoboy.

If she's comfortable with a 12 ga, the older 1100 Remington may be the answer. They have a good rep with the folks that shoot the most, clays and trapshooters,and I've been hearing of glitches with the 11-87s.And there's lots of aftermarket stuff.

Here's something that might help w/o costing the farm. Get/make a short stock for your shotgun and let her try it out. If she can use that weapon, get her one to match. That way, you've got commonality of parts, and no problems switching from one to the other in a crisis/AS Scenario.

If not, a youth model 1100 would be an excellent choice.
