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.

    A second-hand (pre-Cerberus/Freedom Group) Remington 1100 or 11-87 in twenty-gauge. I am partial to the “special field” version with the straight grip.

    Any adjustable LOP would be aftermarket, or you can have her measured and get the factory stock altered by a competent gunsmith. Note that I wrote “gunsmith,” not “AR assembler” - the two are conflated far too often these days.

    You could also consider a 20 gauge shotgun. They tend to be much smaller and certainly have less recoil.

      Thanks, but I never stated we need a pistol grip. Just hoping we can find a gun that works for multiple ages and sizes of shooters. Will check the ultralight

    Beretta 1301 or A300 can be adjusted by removing the butt plate and adding/removing included spacers using a screwdriver. If you install an adapter to use the Magpul shotgun stock it’s even easier. Will look and feel like a ye-olde shotgun but be extremely light. Be careful though as full power loads will hurt.
