Wifey wants to get (back) into shooting. Michigan culture is very much one of "just go to your friends land and shoot to your heart's desire." Not a whole lot of legit shooting clubs around here.

Does anyone have a decent 20 gauge pump action shotgun recommendation for a 5' 100lb woman?

I’d just grab a Mossberg 500. All purpose, plenty of parts availability, light recoil in 20ga, and inexpensive.

For a short barrel look at the Winchester Super X. For something along the hunting range I’d try a Mossberg 500.

Tactical or clay target sports gun?

Beretta A400 semi auto would be my choice. Great all around gun and the semi auto soaks up recoil.

So for her it's a little of both. Something she can get comfortable with sport shooting but is also lethal if she needs it on a night when I'm at work and the cops are 10 minutes away.

A Mossberg 505 might fit the bill. The barrel, at 20” is shorter than sport guns, but longer than most tactical shotguns. It strikes me as a good middle fit.

Before and after. Every time I try and embrace M-LOK I find how many compromises I have to make with it compared to a Pic rail. But it is lighter. Fair well, URX II.

US nuclear airmen plead guilty to false statements in shooting that suspended Sig Sauer M18 use

Two airmen at a Wyoming U.S. Air Force base have pleaded guilty to making false statements about the deadly shooting of a third that prompted the suspension of Sig Sauer M18 pistol use at nuclear weapons sites for a month, the Air Force said in a statement Friday. The gun pause by the Air Force...

I’m sure SIG’s lawyers on retainer would like to pay them a visit IMG_9353.jpeg
 
AF SF types are notorious for tomfoolery with weapons. Junior enlisted on duty in isolated areas with little supervision and in mind numbing boredom conditions. The Base Defender MOS is not the most competitive either.

In the 1970's and 80's USMC sentries (gate guards) carried M1911 with lead seals on the slides with no magazine loaded. Magazines were in sealed plastic envelope in the magazine carrier.

Weird. I mean I guess it’s certainly better than troops paying out of pocket for their own weapon mods, so it’s cool they made that procurable through the supply system, but at the same time I’m not sure any of them are actually worth the time and hassle. Especially for a pistol.
 
Something for @Gatordev maybe. The Japanese have a cultural fascination with replica guns that shoots white plastic BB's and they put an amazing amount of engineering effort into these gadgets.... Perhaps something for the office wall gun rack?

 
I'm not really into airsoft, but at the start of COVID, I did grab a gas blow-back (GBB) M4 because I thought it would provide a way to still "shoot" in my back yard. That turned out to not be as easy as I thought (those BBs will blow through a fence so you need to capture them) and the local range opened up almost immediately, so it was OBE.

Chuck, you should go look at GBB versions of airsoft guns. It's a pretty impressive piece of engineering. The M4 design functions exactly like the Stoner design. Gas (propane) blows the BCG back after firing the BB, reloading the next BB from the magazine, while also imparting a decent recoil impulse. The gas is stored in the magazine. The FCG is compatible with regular AR triggers, as are the various pieces of furniture. The sound is on par with a suppressed loud .22LR.
