I will probably put 20 rounds through it in a year. I realized the lighter weight would probably mean more kick, but what is the design difference you refer to? I really am wondering if it will be a very big difference or not.
I have been using a Remington 1100 slug gun for deer hunting in past years and I was looking at the M1 20 gauge slug gun or perhaps an M2 with a slug barrel. Any idea how the recoil will compare to the 1100? I realize the 20 gauge will be better than a 12 and that is part of what I like about the 20. I have seen comments about the Benelli's having more recoil and I was wondering if that would be the case.
