Then I have pump 12 gauge that weighs more that's not near as bad. Weight and stock design and action type all play a part in felt recoil. I kept shooting my .410, and a couple of years later I was given my grandpa's 16 gauge. Hi, I am buying a new 12 gauge and want to know what shotgun kicks the least? Often when middle school-age kids join our trap club, they bring short 20-gauge youth pumps that kick surprisingly hard because they are so light. They are available in 12-gauge and 20-gauge. the kick depends on what you are shooting out of it. The 10-gauge is also a heavier gun so it soaks up more recoil than a 12 does. for example you could shoot like 00 buch shot out of a 20 and like #8 bird out of our 12 and the 20 would kick more. A heavy 12 gauge will recoil less than a light 20 gauge if both shoot similar loads. One of the bad raps the 10-gauge gets is it has unbearable recoil. Gas-powered, semi-automatic shotguns like this Beretta A400 Xplor use a type of internal action that cycles the shotgun shells to reduce recoil. Recoil pads Some stock designs create more muzzle flip causing the comb to hit the shooters face. But the laws of physics don't change. That is why waterfowlers use pretty heavy guns. Recoil and kick are almost, but not quite, the same thing. If the stock fits you well it won't bother you as much as if the stock is too short or too long. I tried my dad's 12 gauge when I was 12, and it was a little much. The .410 Bore has very low recoil, but it also has very low knockdown power, except with slug loads. Let’s say you’re a 12-gauge shooter toting a typical sporting clays or waterfowl type shotgun weighing in at close to eight pounds. There are many reasons why one gun may appear to recoil worse than another. A 12-gauge 2-3/4 hunting shell loaded with 00 Buck is designed to kill a deer at 50 yards or so—you don’t need all that power when you’re talking about in-home distances to be reliably effective. Big Bore Doesn’t Mean Big Recoil. I’ll often put an 8 ½-pound 12-gauge trap gun in their hands and watch them start hitting targets right away. If you can shoot a light single 20 a heavier 12 shouldn't really be that much worse. A 20 gauge certainly has the potential to be very effective for self-defense, but the lack of marketplace support makes owning a defensive 20 gauge shotgun a headache more often than not. If recoil comes straight back most people find it more comfortable. Dear RJ, Good question and one that many people have asked. Cutting the Kick. The 12 gauge, on the other hand, carries a little more kick. As for 12 gauge recoil, don't worry, if you can handle a .0-'06 you can handle a shotgun. Finding the right load for your shotgun can help solve recoil problems. That’s not true, particularly in the gas-operated auto-loaders, which have more tolerable recoil than most 12-gauge pumps or inertia-driven semi-autos. – Oh hey, I hope I didn’t startle you guys with these three glory holes of 12-bore, but it’s me, James again, TFB TV and today, I have the Chiappa Triple Threat 12-gauge shotgun for review. Thanks, RJ. really a 20 gauge will do the job but a 12 will do it better. In most cases, a properly fitted 12 gauge with carefully selected low recoil ammo is a more appropriate choice. And a light weight shotgun will kick you harder than a heavy gun. Like I say just go try it. It will depend on the gun. Although a standard buckshot load in 20 gauge has less energy, the six-pound gun may actually kick more into the shoulder than a seven-pound 12-gauge shotgun. If you’re shooting a 1⅛-ounce lead load with an instrumental velocity of 1145 feet per second, that load in your eight-pound gun is generating about 19.86 foot/pounds of free recoil; let’s call it 20 ft./lbs. Now many of you know Chiappa from the Chiappa Rhino, Chiappa the Italian company, however this shotgun is the Triple Threat, is imported from Turkey. The only way to reduce recoil is to alter one of the 4 items above. I’ve gone over a lot of this before, but perhaps it is time to touch on it again and put it all into one package. For example I have a light weight Beretta O/U 12 that kicks pretty hard. Recoil is very subjective in many respects.
