Shotgun length is an important factor. I have a Mossberg 590 Special Purpose. It is a loooong gun. My 5'1" wife really has to work to rack the slide as it is so far out there and fairly stiff. When I saw this, I was actually happy. It meant that it made the gun that much more difficult for a child to operate. I still store it safely, but it is a factor.
As an aside, I went out and bought my wife a smaller autoloading shotgun. She loves it that much more because the gas-operation takes the bite out of the recoil.
