My first 12g I bought was used and the fellow threw in a box of shells. I shot a couple rounds when I got home and didn't think I could shoot many rounds in a row, so went to my local gun shop and bought a slip on pad that tamed it down nicely. I then found out that the guy had thrown in a box of Magnums, it now shoots regular shells with a pretty light kick but I left it on since with a shorter barrel that has became my home defense shotgun. I do occasionally put a long barrel on it to loan to a friend that is new to sports clays, just to be kind.
