A request from a K9 officer

[padredan]

these are the pictures of the actual dept owned shotguns , not to be confused with the ones that are cut down . Like we said these are restricted to law enforcement use only . believe it or not these really do not kick to bad with the colaspable stock.

You hear that all the time, "shortened shotguns kick a lot". I can see that the one I cut would just because it's lighter now (those Stevens barrels are heavy!), but is there any other reason why you would have more recoil?

with a cut down stock there is some felt recoil, but with the colaspable stock like in the picture it is barely felt, of course there is more muzzel blast. remington 870 police magnums are all steel componets which does add more weight. the shorter ones with just a pistol grip anda 10" barrel are a handfull.
