One thing that I find interesting about this recoil reduction business is that small statured people seem to notice it more then bigger folks. I'm 5'8" and weight about 175 and I notice quite a difference between a stock barrel and one with the Vang Comp System. I have reports of women cops who couldn't qualify with the shotgun do great with a Vang Comped 870. On the other hand, I have seen big guys who said that they didn't seem to feel much difference.

I have switched back and forth between barrels with and without the forcing cone reamed and I notice at least a 15% reduction in felt recoil with the longer forcing cone. The difference is between a sharp jab and softer push. At least, that's how it works for me.
