Any/all ported choke tubes will do absolutely zero for felt recoil.
As far as pattern, one of your factory chokes with tighter constriction will likely pattern similar to this.
Use the money saved for more ammo.
I wasn't gonna bother arguing but my previous experience with ported chokes on a few different guns leads me to believe they do affect recoil in a meaningful way. Whenever I find a 1301 buck kicker I will gladly buy at least one.
No need to argue.
If you feel that it reduces recoil, fantastic.
Physics would disagree, but I'd be a hypocrite to say only function over form, etc.
I have plenty of accessories just for the fact that they look cool.
That's what makes this hobby fun.
These and at least some of the other buckshot optimized chokes actually seem to work as advertised.
The recoil reduction isn't super dramatic but the blast is directed in such a way that it serves to help keep the choke tight.
So you don't believe in muzzle brakes either? Or compensators? Diverting the gases and other ejecta, which can contribute up to 50% of recoil, does reduce felt recoil. If you are being picky and saying that the overall recoil energy is unaffected I guess you are right but that wouldn't be what we are worried about.
I didn't watch the whole thing, but from what I can tell he's comparing a factory cylinder choke to a choke with constriction and seeing improvement in pattern...cool.
If he screwed in a factory Beretta choke with similar constriction to these buck kicker chokes, my bet is he'd see a big improvement as well.
For IPSC shotgun competitions, 00 buckshot is used in some stages.
At the last world shoot I attended, we had paper targets out to 35 yards, with a penalty target right next to it.
The buck paper target is a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper with scoring rings in it.
Remington low recoil 8 pellet buffered buck through a Benelli m2 with an IM choke, all 8 pellets on paper.
In fact all 8 holes could be covered with your hand.
When you've experimented enough, you figure out what works and what is mostly marketing.
Its all part of the fun.
