what is SA? sounds like it was a revolver? and it sounds like you had a hard time pulling the hammer back and it had a firm trigger...
welcome to revolvers maybe not for you.
"Do they have anything quieter?" NO guns are loud!!
Shame Shame Shame - for not shooting with hearing and eye protection!! tsk tsk tsk... bad!
and then you have to learn how to shoot - breathing, squeezing the trigger, not jerking it, etc... you have to be able to hold your line on the target regardless if revolver, semiauto or shotgun.

SA-semi automatic, one of those lightweight ones, basically felt weightless. He said it kicks worse because of the weight. He also said it was a cheap brand one.
I actually thought of the protection when he offered for me to shoot but I did not see anything around in the field we were in. Next time I hear him shooting (if he ever does again, he said this was the first time in 2 years), I will stuff my ears and wear sunglasses. :-) and ask if I can shoot again.
I certainly do have a lot to learn. I was focusing so hard on keeping my aim and holding my breath, but then when I could not even pull the trigger, I lost my focus. Note to self, hand exercises to build up strength.
Faber I promise I won't get one at a flea market. I know it is not illegal but I don't have enough experience to buy a quality item like that and I sure don't want to hurt myself or to buy something that may have been used in a crime. Nope, I will buy new.
I'm still leaning toward that Mossburg 20g. I friend of mine told me that he thinks that I could handle a pistol grip on a mossburg (I told him I could not even pull the trigger on my neighbors gun this morning. Everyone thinks I'm a bad ass, I'm not sure why but I think because I look like a redneck, see myspace here:
MySpace.com - Sheila Rae - 44 - Female - Nicholasville, Kentucky - www.myspace.com/shezor). He said it would easier to manipulate something like that (pistol grip), in the dark, going down a hallway, than a regular shotgun and it would be harder to take away. He also said the 20G would take some of the kick out of it. He is going to call some friends to see if I can shoot their shotgun. Of course in the next breath he told me his wife (who is also a friend of mine and my husbands), is starting to get real jealous. Translated, she is not interested in doing this type of stuff and she may not let him take me alone. I'm thinking a cook out is in order where I call her and invite them both and talk about it in front of her and maybe that way it can work out. Maybe she will offer to have him help me. She is beautiful and very outgoing so I can't imagine that she would be as bad as he says.
Ok back to the subject. Pistol grip. If you use a 20G and jam it into your hip before shooting, will that lesson the kick than a 12 G, holding in front of you?
