Limbsavers are junk, none of them work worth a damn. Just get use to the abuse or shoot a 20ga lol

the thing usually with aftermarket recoil pads for me is that it makes the gun that much longer usually makes it uncomfortable for me..anyone have that experience...?

Limbsaver for me also.  Tames my 835 12 3 1/2's down to a 20.

Limbsavers work trust me.  Especially ones that are made for your gun!

The problem I have found with my 835s...the only problem is not so much the recoil but how it is delivered.  They simply do not and cannot recoil like another gun of similar weight and shooting the same load.  The 870 SM WILL recoil more.  Pure and simple.  What they do have going against them though is how the stock drops at the comb, making the felt recoil seem that much worse than the actual recoil.  With the way the stock is fit, and then add the even worse characteristics of those stupid tactical, M-4 style stocks, and you get much more cheek slap than some guns, even with the 935 over some other autos.  Combine that with the general tendancy for those roman candle turkey loads to kick like a rented mule anyways and you have guys cringing and flinching every time they jerk the trigger on an 835.  A limbsaver pad and a simple neoprene stock cheek pad can really tame them down...not to 20 guage recoild but to a very manageable level.  I mounted a thumbhole stock to one of my 835s, fit it with a limbsaver pad, and then fit a neoprene cheek pad to the comb.  Recoil is more straight back with that stock and with the pads mounted it is a true  cat to shoot.  In fact I was honestly suprised when I touched off a Fed 3.5/2/6 HV load the other day and my ears weren't ringing and my shoulder and arm weren't numb!

Bought a Limbsaver for my 935 and loved the difference it made with the 3.5s. However, since then I purchased a Choate pistol grip tactical stock for it. Love the pistol grip, but have not seen a Limbsaver option for the Choate stocks.(They are different from the non-pistol grip stocks) Anyone know of one, or if I am simply missing one that is offered?
