Knoxx "Recoil Reducing" Stocks

[Benelli]

Has anyone ever used one of these? Are they any good? I am looking for a shotgun that can fit both me (5' 11") and my girlfriend (5' 4"). I found this online: http://www.blackhawk.com/product/SpecOps-Adjustable-Shotgun-Stock,1158,165.htm
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They are decent, not the top of the line or anything. However, it should work for your application... Oh and not to sure it reduces ANY recoil...

I have one on a Remington 870, and IMHO it's a great investment. The reduction in perceived recoil is subjective, of course, but in my case, it was quite noticeable. It's not going to make an 870 feel like a 1100, but for me, follow-up shots can be made more quickly and easily. The adjustment in reach is quite handy and solid, too. YMMV

Knoxx makes an actuall recoil reducing stock of the same type. I used to have one, sold the shotgun though, loved it, and it was a noticeable difference in recoil.

Not sure if your girlfriend will ever like shooting a 12 gauge, there is still some recoil. Maybe a 20 gauge with a similar stock would tickle her fancy.

I've had them on 870's and 590's - they help me out a bunch (I have DDD in my neck and lower back).

Thanks for all the input.

Obviously don't use them on a recoil operated auto.

I have one on a Serbu 12ga. with 7" barrel and shoot it one-handed. It takes away most the recoil and is easy on the hand.

I have seen several break. When this happens you only have a pistol grip. I wouldn't trust my life with one, but they're pretty cool!

How and where have you seen the stock break, on what shotgun(s) were these stocks mounted, and what kind of shells was the shooter using?
