I have a few guns that make the list for new shooters and small frame shooters looking for a shotgun for trap.
The Beretta 3901 reduced length is the most adjustable out of the box semi auto in the less than 1000.00 range. It also is easily adapted to growth with spacers, stocks and barrels.
The Browning BPS trap and micro trap pumpaction. Again you can be easily changed out with stocks and barrels for larger or smaller shooters.
Almost any reminton 1100/1187/870 can be set up with a host of stocks and barrels.
Older browning citori trap models and also the older charles daily clones. look hard enough these can be found in the 500-800 range. although barrel length and stock set up is a bit more limited.
The guns above can easily recoup investment with little loss if you need to upgrade or bail out cause you lost interest.
Again you can spend a ton of money on custom stocks, crazy high ribs, counter weights
