Not to mention the fact that it can be really hard for someone to walk around a house while holding a shotgun in a shooting position.

I'm a big guy as well, but I know my old fiancee was able to handle a 20 guage that had been cut down to the smallest still legal length with few issues. She was 4'11" and just over 100 lbs. However, as with any firearm, go with comfort. If the gun is unwieldy or uncomfortable, you're not going to do well with it under any circumstances.
