I patterned some TSS in my Stoeger 3020 (a semiauto) this past weekend and was truly shocked at the recoil. I swear that 20ga semiauto with TSS kicks harder than my 12ga Winchester 1300 (pump) with 3" Longbeards.

I seriously wasn't prepared for the thump it gave me when I pulled the trigger.


I’m about to pattern my backup turkey gun which is a Remington 1187 in 20ga. Thinking about getting liquored up before doing it and I don’t even drink! They’ll definitely put a hurting on you.
