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.
