don't think there is any difference in any brand name - (unless you have a special anti-recoil device installed in the stock) - all depends on the weight of the firearm, the load chosen. Besides, in a SHTF or home invader situation, I doubt even a 95 lb, 80 YO lady would even notice the recoil - if they shot to stop a BG. You can always "practice" with a light load and use the Double ought magnums for real situations.Don't Mossbergs kick like mules? lol
I'd get a Remington or Winchester
