Lets focus on 20guage and semi-auto. short gun for a woman who has had minimal gun training.
I went this route (woman with minimal training) with a Moss 500 with youth stock and an SA 20. I can unequivocally tell you the smaller frame has more perceived recoil than a 12 ga using buckshot loads.
The said intended woman decided on a Ruger 5.7 LC Carbine
I took this woman to one of my ranges and made her see how many rounds she could get on target at 15 yards and less in the fastest time. The absolute fastest time and number of hits was a Ruger 10/22 compact 16” barrel in a Magpul stock with a red dot shooting CCI Velocitors.
I’ve had other chicks that faired great with a 20 ga coach gun or a Glock Pistol. I hate Glock but they are best for some folk.
I do these test with no hearing protection also.
😂🤣😂🤣I wouldn’t bet my life on an AK anything, I’m alive because of their failures 😂🤣😂🤣
