Asking in a respectful tone, have you shot one of the Shockwave gripped non-shotguns? Any training time to back up the assertions?
I ask because my experience is considerably different than what you are opining. My experience is almost three years of ownership
and 400 mixed shells +/-.
1) My 14” Shockwave 870 is considerably more accurate with the Federal FliteControl than my smoothbore 20” barrel, to my frustration.
2) Cannot notice a difference between slug accuracy between stocked and non stocked 870s.
3) Tons of internet videos of shooting slugs from Shockwaves to 100 yards and beyond. I just do not enjoy slugs enough to try.
4) I found I prefer the recoil of the PGO Shockwave over the stocked 870. Much less bruising for me.
