A friend comes shooting with me and another pal occasionally. He’s mid 20s but thin. When he’s fired the clubs Browning 525, my Beretta 686 or my pals ATA (all 12 gauge) he ends up really bruised and painful. His technique seems okay as he’s found this even during a lesson. He wondered if a 20 bore would help but I don’t know enough to answer that. A quick look online said it might, in conjunction with a smaller cartridge. But someone else told him that it might make the recoil worse.
If he decides to consider getting his own, gun is it worth considering the 20 bore for less recoil, or are there better options. All the shooting would be clays.
