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.

Felt recoil is a combination of several things:

how the stock fits the shoulder - shortening them usually changes the resulting recoil direction into the shoulder and the placement on the surface of the shoulder

the reduced barrel changes the muzzle blast because of the final burn when the un-ignited powder is exposed to the air after leaving the barrel.. in hot charges this is much more noticeable then lower powder charges

but the most effecting reason is the overall weight vs the overall force.. there is a good reason older service weapons weighed a lot more then a comparable caliber hunting rifle. hunting rifles are not intended for repetative high volume shooting in short amounts of time

not even sure how many on here even care about law enforcement weapons at all, but here is a comparison of the shotguns used now and in the past . To me the shotgun is the best all around weapon for close range defense or home protection there is.

this is a remington 12 ga. 870 pump with the top folding law enforcement stock from the 70's . these were pretty much the standard issue for alot of depts back then,

Here is the finished shot gun after adding the mag exstenion and sling. It should serve it's purpose well.
