Which shotgun should I buy? (lemmy.world)

Looking for gas operated semi-auto shotgun for shooting trap with my wife. My full size 12 gauge is just too big and heavy for her. I would love one with an adjustable stock for length of pull but can't seem to find any.

Is semi-auto a hard requirement? Asking because I have long preferred break action at the range, and most trap/skeet shooters I've seen prefer pump or break actions.

If you're open to break action, something like the Stoeger Condor Compact in 20-gauge could be a good fit for a smaller adult:

No but it is preferred to reduce recoil. As much as I love a pretty browning o/u they tend to kick harder.

Have you seen the reduced recoil shells like the Winchester AA and RST? That may help with the manual actions if they also fit well.
