I don't shoot reduced recoils shells in my scatterguns. Kind of like shooting 44 specials in a 44 mag, defeats the purpose. I have played with them and don't see/feel enough difference in them to worry about it. In a real world shooting you will never feel the recoil.
How are holding the pistol grip gun? From the hip I bet.
It seems like everyone want to fire from the hip were you have the least amount of control and strength. Do you shoot a .44MAG or any other heavy hand gun from the hip?? then why a 12ga shotgun that will have more than double the amount of recoil?
The proper technique for such a weapon is...
Shoot from eye level, sight down the barrel, weapon fully extended at arms length. With strong hand (trigger hand) PULL back, with support hand PUSH forward. Yes, like you are trying to stretch the gun. You are stronger in this position. Your chest and shoulder muscles can control the recoil much better than your arms can firing from the hip.
