My 2” patterns well. I don’t think it is any better than a 2.5” gun. I use RST 7/8 and 15/16 oz loads. I really think the recoil is not noticeable. I bought a flat of Gamebore shells and the recoil is painful. I don’t want to shoot a box of Gambores in one outing. The gun weighs 5 lbs 8 oz. I understand some will argue a 7/8 oz 2” 12 is a square load and patterns better, but it would be minimal (if at all).
