I am no expert but I will weigh in on this topic. Slug guns can beat you up pretty bad, especially if you try sighting in at a sit-down bench. It is much better to stand up and let the recoil push you back on your heels. Of course a 20 ga will kick less than a 12. Also an automatic will be a heavier gun and some of the gas or recoil will be used to operate the action which extends the time of the recoil so it is not as sharp and is more of a push on your shoulder. There are also managed recoil slugs that advertise up to a 40% reduction in recoil. So I recommend a youth model 20 ga semi auto with managed recoil slugs. I would also recommend a rifled barrel for better accuracy.
