I have a Super Nova "Tactical"... I don't think the recoil is any worse than any of the 870's/500's/BPS's that I've had over the years... I make sure to take it along in addition to my Mossberg 930 every time I go shoot skeet just to shoot it a bit. The rest of the time, it stays loaded with #4 Nitro Steel and resides in the closet. It's not something I'd want to shoot all day with 3" or 3.5" magnum loads, but that's not what it was designed for in the first place, and I also can't think of any pump I'd want to shoot 3"/3.5" magnums out of all day anyway.
