My Brother uses one on his skeet gun and I use one on my trap gun ... they work great. Have you tried one? If you are in Southern / Central Ontario, we can probably arrange a trial.

Pfs
4 of 5 guys on our squad shot PFS last year. 3 of the 4 liked it, one could not use it. I loved mine, my scores were up, the fit was excellent with a little trial and error. Recoil with one ounce 12 gauge challengers was like shooting 28 gauge Feds. This reduced recoil was a result of the PFS mechanism and the fact I got the gun to fit properly.
I've gone back to the wood on my K80 using the dimensions I came up with on the PFS and the results are great (recoil wise). I haven't decided to keep or sell the PFS yet.
The one guy that stopped using the PFS had Mark Deprez install a Gracoil style reducer on his Beretta 682 (personally I would have had Ken Rucker of BumpBuster install his model). He is very happy with it. Less travel than the PFS and still has the wood stock.

Okay thanks for posting that up. I thought thats what it was. I saw a fellow using one last year at the orillia gun club. I like the concept, great idea but I would much prefer a custom wood stock, I just couldnt get used to looking at his expensive skeet gun with that attached to it, LOL!
My memeory fails me here but I believe he had it on a K-80.
They are not inexpensive and definitely take up Beretta687EELL's offer to try one. I had a loaner when they first came out and I couldn't stand the thing. There was so much movement in the stock it only worked for me when it was adjusted so to the point that it hardly moved which seems to defeat the purpose. YMMV.
your are absolutely correct--it is expensive--i am communicating with beretta 687eell and will go and try it out before buying it----
I am trying to tame down the recoil on 682 gold e sporting---i am fairly athletic but still feel like i am getting punched in the shoulder with the recoil----
lets see how it goes once i try it out and if it does not work out then maybe time to look at other options----

The PFS is adjustable for the amount of recoil reduction you want. One of the best attributes of the stock is that it can be fit to almost everyone (there is always an exception to every rule). Stock fit is the best way to reduce felt recoil.
A fellow from Waterdown makes and sells a wooden cheek piece for the PFS that is nice.
There are other recoil reduction "devices" available that can be adapted to fit wooden stocks. The ones that I am aware of are all available in the US.

When used properly, these can be an amazing tool.
I don't use one myself (I was the one on the squad without one), but saw them in action frequently.
They can be adjusted practically any way imaginable. Someone skilled in making adjustments can create a perfect stock.
The recoil reduction would of course be a tremendous advantage (spoken as someone who shoots 20ga in 12ga events). I'm told that can take some getting used to after installation.
Both the stock adjustments, and recoil adjustment need to be properly done. More damage than good can come of it if overdone.
I decided to keep some nice wood on my K80 instead of the PFS. I did feel pressure to make the change based on results from other competitors.

PFS units run $1500 -$1600 where a Gracoil with a pad is around $300 - $350, and you still have the option of you fancy wood stock. I have used both, and found either work great. There is a shooter down Cambridge way who sells and sets-up the PFS units, and if you check back on GN, there was a recent discussion on where to obtain the Gracoil units in Southern Ontario.
