Your thumb over the top of what? Shouldn't your thumb be down along the trigger area? Maybe this is a hand size issue. Mine stays down by the trigger and my other hand is holding the whatever the part we pull back to cycle out the shell after shooting. Wow my brain is dead today. LolGotcha. My wife is about your size and she prefers the S&W over my Glock for the same reasons you do. Just better for her smaller hands and easier to handle. Plus more confidence which is a big deal.
As far as the shotgun, much smarter/more experienced people on this forum than me, but what little advice I can give you is to hold the butt tight against your shoulder (so it doesn't get a running start before it hits you) and be careful of putting your thumb over top of it (trigger hand). I have to keep my thumb alongside, or else when the gun kicks, my thumb hits my nose and makes my eyes water... Might just be because I have a big nose?.... lol
