12 gauge isn't bad, I own a few of them. I've had several 100-115 pound women shoot them without a problem.

It's all about the stock you purchase, I've got a nice stock on the Remington 870 and you can shoot it one handed. Though it will kick a bit , certainly never hurt anyone.

Stock says "Knoxx Spec Ops Stock". Look into them, they certainly work.

AR 15 here I come.
Looking at DPMS PAnther or S&W MP15.
Would love the Colt but rather save the $400 or so for gadgets.
12 Ga is a pud gun. Heck, kids 8+ shoot them out here during hunting season.

New the P99 .40 is around $500. (Maybe $525 out the door but don’t cont on recouping misc fees) Depending on condition and if you only have the 2 mags and case (like you got it) if its buddy ask $400 and see what kind of response you get?

The gun broker is ok for a lose reference; I see a lot of crack head prices on there. Its best to check what has sold not what is for sale, remember the reason you can see it for sale on gun broker is because no one has bought it yet. Lol

Rock River is ok, but they are not the manufacturer they simply assemble AR's from purchased parts.

For me top shelf AR's (that are reasonable) and built to mil-spec would be Colt, Spikes Tactile, Lewis Machine and tool, SIG, and S&W, LWRC. The two brands I would stay away from would be 1. DPMS 2. Bushmaster

Remember if you chose to buy a Colt, it’s a Colt and kind of an investment.

No they are ok if you buy on simply price; DPMS are not mil-spec (not refereeing to FA) I am not a hater just pointing out some items I have noticed.

Barrels are generally not chrome lined
Barrels are not MPI inspected
Bolt & carriers are not MPI inspected
Receivers will not fit all mags! (saw a pos dpms that a tango down mag wouldn’t fit)
Carrier interior not chrome lined
Bolt & carriers are not MPI inspected
Gas key screws not staked and improper hardness
Rifles with the M4 stock have a commercial spec tube and are not staked properly

The fit between the upper & lower are pretty lose on the rifles I have handled and worked on, overall there QC is a little week, I have also seen Olympic and Bushmaster with most of the same issues.

No worries.
Life is too short.

I am not worried for me as I am gradually finding the bigger the caliber, the more I enjoy it. I am sure it won't be an issue for me, although not something I will enjoy shooting a 100 rounds in an hour.
My concern is my wife. I really don't think she is anywhere close yet to taking that on. I rather get other weapons now and in time, as her comfort level increases, go back to looking at a 12 gauge.

Get her a 20 Gauge, she can shoot it all day.

Totally understandable, There is a big difference between being able to shoot something and being comfortable shooting something. My wife never touched a gun before a month ago. If I had handed her my 12 gauge and said you can easily handle this, a 5'1" 100 lb women can, she would have shot it once and never gone back with me. I started her on my 9mm, and .22 pistols. The next time we went to the range, she asked me to bring my ar15 and 357 magnum! Better to go slow and let her tell you when she's ready.(That sounded pretty dirty!)

Rather then go 20 gauge, I would look into a semi like the 1187 Remington. Less kick because you have the action absorb the recoil, my 11 year old daughter can handle me 12 gauge 1187 all day long.

Taking my .308/7.62 x 51 AR-10 out today to see how it shoots at 200 yds. and beyond. Had the thing a couple months now and hadn't managed to try it out beyond about 40 yards.
