I shot a friends lightweight 12-gauge with a Cutts-like compensator on it, and it kicks substantially less than my 870 which outweights it by 2 pounds.
Okay. I'm sold.
Now what is a good way to compensate my 870? Should I just pick up a compensated barrel from Remington? That works, but will cost me more than the gun. Are there new choke-tube compensators available? If so, I'll still need a new barrel because mine has no choke threads. Will holes drilled into the top of the barrel by a 'smith work?
