Actually I think he is, since he asked for info on the Mossberg 930 . He just isn't looking for a $1000 gun though.
OP you should be able to get into a NIB 930 Home Security for under $600 OTD. I'm seeing $575 for my zipcode's dealers at GOG and they can usually be beat.

I think you might want to at least try the reduced recoil loads as well. Oftentimes a 12ga because of it's greater weight will, when shooting reduced recoil ammo, have a felt recoil no worse than a 20ga. Also some of the newer recoil pads really work well at softening the blow.

When available/ in stock the Perfecta brass case 9mm runs $9.78 + tax or $10.46 OTD at Walmarts in my area ( Southern IN.) and is decent ammo. The spent brass can be saved for reloading later or sold /traded as well. Good to buy small amounts until known if your gun works well with any ammo...

an idea. Link opens to the cutaway K Tiger, scroll...
There are things that can be done to minimize the cheek contact issues. Tacticool Products in Lexington KY has some neat stuff and you can zip tie a split in half length of foam pipe wrap to the butt tube. Ad hoc looking yes, but comfortable.

Either would make a great gift. I'm with bwframe, a little sweat equity would make a more valued gift experience. Congrats to son on this milestone and to you for having a son worthy/trustworthy enough to be considered for such gifts.
Enjoy these years as they are all too fleeting.
Here's yet another, hope it comes with lotsa ammo. IIRC these are around $275 at RK and frequently on sale for less.

First used this BC Aluminum Black to cover scratches on folks ' High Standard Sentinel/JC Higgins revolvers w/alloy frames . Since these have no ejector rod return spring it's not unusual to see them with plenty of marks from the ejector ratchet dragging on the grip frame. Found it to color...
