The recoil from the lightweight 20, meaning around six pounds or less, is not only more than a standard shell from the heavy gun, it is faster. That speed of recoil is most of what makes them hurt more.

I get what you are saying though, not arguing with ya on that. I much prefer shooting my 45 cal semi auto over my 380. The 45 is full frame and the 380 is small and it just feels sharper. Not a harder kick, just not as comfortable. The 835 is harder to accelerate due to it's weight, but it is harder to deccelerate as well, the 20 accelerates faster, but also deccelerates faster. The force of the recoil is caused by the load, not the gun. 2 ounces at 1300fps has a greater recoil than 1.5 ounces at 1300fps.Best thing to do is try out shooting a 20 and see what he thinks. What kicks to some, others do not mind.

I have three 20's set up:870 with a truglo ssx shooting hw 71187 with carlson .575 hevi 13 7franchi with a carlson .575 fed hw 7I shoot the franchi just because it's newer, but out of the three my 870 has the best 10" #, in fact probably too tight. It is hitting on ave 190-200 at 40. My 1187 will do 150's with hevi shot 7. My franchi actually has the least # of pellets in the 10, BUT it has the most even pattern and allows for shooter error more than the other two. If money is an issue get the 870. If not I would look at the franchi as they are basically an m2 only 400-600 cheaper.
