My solution was to sell my Remington 1100 and replace it with a Mossberg 500 20 gauge with a 20" Rifle sighted barrel. Much less recoil and for home defense only a few less #3 buckshot. You give up only abour 1/4 oz in the slug. I suspect an unarmored target will not feel the difference.

Who needs to check out AR type adjustable stocks so the wife can shoot it.
