At the risk of stating the obvious, the 2 7/8” shells (like those Jeff was apparently shooting), shot from a 3 frame or larger gun with with long, heavy tubes absorbs a lot of recoil and makes for more pleasant shooting. My GH 10 has very manageable recoil with “proper” loads. My 12 pound Ithaca 3 1/2” still lets me know I’ve shot it...and my arm is longer from a day carrying it.

I agree. My Dh is much more manageable than my NID 10. I just couldn't
pass up a gun that is essentially a legal 8 ga! |

I guess if your shooting 1.5 ounce loads at 1200 fps in a heavier gun then recoil would be a bit more manageable. Again just guessing but maybe the recoil is reduced into the 40's. Supposedly they say that 20 lbs is most comfortable recoil to handle but plenty of 20 and 16 gauges will shoot in mid 20 lb range up to 30 lbs depending on loads.
Again even if shooting in the 40 lb range it would be significant day to run thru a 25 count box of shells. My guess would be around the 15th shell I would be a bit ornery and obstinate, but that would be me. |

The weight of Parker 10's absorbs the recoil of RST's pretty well. Remember that recoil depends on the shot power to weight of the gun ratio.

Size of load makes a difference as well. Is it in the 40 to 45 lbs range or is it less. Have shot plenty of 12 gauge 3 inch shells with my pump that weighs between 8 to 9 lbs and that is a healthy stomp to the shoulder, but I only do that duck hunting and when you have some heavy clothes on my guess that load is produces high 40s to somehwere in the 50s of of felt recoil. Just wondering never shot a 10 gauge. |

I am not that technical but it doesn’t bother me.

I think RST bismuth 10 gauge loads are 1 1/4 ozs. At any rate, recoil in my 3 frame EH is negligible. I limit my shooting to 40-45 yds. Much beyond that they are coming down alive and I hate that. I also love the sound of 10 pounds of protein hitting the ground. Hard. Nothing quite like it.
