I bought a Mossberg Persuader two weeks ago and love it. I discovered that holding it with the back elbow tight to the side is satisfactory for displacing the recoil--forearm, elbow, and upper arm are all in line with the barrel, and make a nice natural shock absorber. The only drawback is the wrist; at hip level, you lose a lot of up-and-down flexibility, so you do stand a greater chance feeling it there.
To build up my confidence, I tested my grip and overall hold shooting low brass 7 1/2 shot. Not bad at all. 00 buck is a bit stiff on the recoil, but 1 oz. slugs are fun, albeit, full of punch.
