Went shooting for a few hours with my father and brothers in law. Never had much of an issue after quite a few rounds of skeet shooting w/ a 12 gauge. Never really fired on much at all until that day and had a lot of fun. Wasn't too sore either...
X2 pics or ban, I'm a expert I can tell if their lopsided.

Didn't I tell you guys that I didn't buy the recoil pad for the bra? I couldn't find it anywhere locally, and I didn't want to have to deal with the hassles of returning it if I didn't like it. This is the pad I'm talking about for those wondering:
Instead, I bought $6 gel insoles from Walmart and taped both of them to the outside of my thick winter jacket. Worked like a charm but looked very silly. I got a lot of chuckles out of that.
I'm still waiting to buy a real shoulder recoil shield, and the guy at Sports Authority said he'd call me when they restock. They're close to my office so I can pick it up after work. It should be another week or so. In the meantime, the gel insoles will have to do.
Oh, and about the Knoxx stock, I heard that these stocks reduce the recoil on your shoulder, but it redistributes the recoil to your face.

I have never had this problem. For me, the Knoxx system works perfectly and is easily worth the money paid. I think you would be a big fan. Shoulder recoil shield? Pffft...no comparison, buy Knoxx and be a happy shooter.
EDIT: I watched the video, that guy is a tool and is probably paid to say Knoxx sucks...like I said, I have NEVER had this problem. JMO...Good luck.
Does the Remington 870 has the safety on the trigger guard? My Moss has it on the back of the receiver, close to the stock.
I heard that replacing the stock with a pistol grip interferes with the safety mechanism. I wonder if a Knoxx would have the same problem on a Mossberg?
Must do some more Youtube research. :)

yea remington safety is in behind the trigger, but on the guard
i've disassembled my mossberg and i doubt it would interfere with the safety if you replace the stock.. the safety mechanism sits above the trigger inside the main "housing" if you will.
if i get the chance i'll take it apart and get a pic for you
here i did a quick disassemble for you... i don't think there's any clearance issues. first two pics are with the safety off and the second are with the safety engaged. you'll notice where the stock ends just before the safety in all four pics, so i think you'd be ok
I have an 870, and I put the shurshot stock on it and there is no interference with the safety. I will get you pictures of it tomorrow. But it looks sick and you can really tell a difference when shooting it. There is way more control.
Thanks for the pictures. I haven't taken my Mossberg apart other than to clean the barrel. I don't want to mess it up and void the warranty.
I finally bought a shoulder recoil pad yesterday so all I need to do, is to go to the shooting range sometime this month to see if it helps enough. I want to be able to endure shooting 25 bird shells and I'll be happy. If not, I'll look into ordering a Knoxx stock when I can afford it. (First, I've got to pay off my $1700 car insurance premium. California is so darn expensive.)

If you want to take up shooting as a hobby,, then I suggest you load your own shells. You can make them as heavy or as light as you want. You wont save much money, but you'll ache a lot less.

no need.. go back to page 2 where you will see i already posted pictures of my 870 with a shurshot stock...
besides, she was questioning the mossberg for clearance, not the remmy
Reloading your own shells used to make so much more sense.... Years ago you could get a 25lb bag of #9 shot for 15 or 20 bucks... Last I checked (a year ago?) it was up to $40+. Screw that. Now I'd sooner recommend just putting the money toward an auto-loader, like a remmington or browning. Day-um can those be fun if you live out on a farm!
I don't think I'll load my own shells. There's too much that could possibly go wrong for a newbie like me. I can imagine the barrel blowing up in my hands if I pack the shell wrong.
I only plan to go shooting once a month or once every other month for target practice; not skeet/trap shooting. There really isn't anywhere to shoot legally in Oakland. I have to go to the Chabot outdoor firing range, or the Target Masters West indoor shooting range in Milpitas. And I don't think either range allows people to use custom made ammunition.

The way I was taught to shoulder a shotgun many a year ago was to raise your elbow until your upper arm is almost parallel to the ground. Then if you touch your shoulder between the shoulder joint and your collar bone you should be able to feel a sort of "pocket"- that's where you put the butt of the shotgun. Put the middle of the butt in the middle of that pocket- not too low, not too high. It hurts to shoot if the butt is on the shoulder joint itself, or on the collar bone (ouch!). Pull the gun snug into your shoulder and lean forward slightly.
This is how to told a shotgun for skeet/trap/sporting clays. If I understand correctly, law enforcement are taught to hold rifles/shotguns differently than that (elbow low to create a smaller profile).
Thanks! That's what I was trying to say...guess my explanation was rather weak, but you have clarified my position perfectly.
Hello every one, ozzy here ive been looking at this page for weeks now finally joined. So my question is why is it that every turbo build forum just ends...
