Long time member but been a while.
I'm looking in to getting my SO a home defense weapon.
Age ~60
5'7
125 lb
Fit w/average strength
No real experience with firearms of any kind
Concerned about handguns & the visiting grandchildren thing
HD weapon for retreat to safespace/bedroom
I'm not confident she could operate my Win1300HD

I'm drawn to the stoeger double defense (O/U)? in 20 ga.
Anyone have personal experience with these? 12-or-20?

Thanks in advance!
