[QUOTE="Rkelley, post: 1216793, member: 92658"] I have an old 1100 20 ga on a standard frame it is the softest kicking shotgun I own. They only made them for a few years and are hard to find. Another option if you load is to load your 12 ga down to 7/8 or even 3/4 oz. You can generally keep your powder at the same charge. It really does reduce the recoil and you can probably get a used loader cheaper than a new gun. I'm not sure how well your gun cycles but I have had good luck on all my autos. Claybuster makes a 7/8 oz wad for the 12 ga. You can use them or simply put a cheerio on top of the shot and it will crimp well. I have loaded a 20 ga down to 5/8 oz for my son and daughter when they were really small and had very light shotguns. It works. [/QUOTE]
