Have you thought about a 20-gauge? I've often thought that a 20-gauge 870 or 500 with a Knoxx SpecOps stock might be just about the perfect combination of power and controllability for recoil-sensitive individuals.

I am a firm SpecOps believer--In 12-gauge, my 500 has VERY manageable recoil, even with 3" shells, buckshot, and slugs--I can't imagine how easy it would be mounted on a 20-gauge, and 24 pellets of .24 caliber #4 buckshot per trigger pull, in addition to the advantages of 3-point contact (and an adjustable LOP so you're guaranteed to get both of you a good fit) seem like an easy choice to me, particularly over other far more underpowered .22/.25/.32/.380 low-recoil options.
