Karen, more important than it being a "ladies model" is that the gun fits you. Guns "off the shelf" only fit 50% of the population at best, whether it be ladies, mens, or youth models. The ultimate best recommendation I can give you is 1) go to a big shooting event, like the Grand American or a regional top-notch trapshoot event, and visit the vendors. Benelli, Browning, Remington, Perazzi, etc. will be there and they will measure you and help you find a good fitting gun. The next best bet is 2) to find a gunsmith in your area who knows how to measure you and has one or two guns for you to try out. The next best thing is to 3) go to your closest trap/skeet range and ask some of the women there if they would let you shoot their gun. My wife gladly lets women shoot her Browning o/u which has been custom fit for her. Before Kathy got the Browning Ultra Featherweight, she did not like shooting because the other shotguns she had did not fit her. Now that she has a gun that fits, shooting once a week is not enough. Gun fit makes the difference - - for everyone, not just women.
