I've never had an issue with recoil from any semi auto 5.56, although I did avoid firing one when I had severe shoulder injuries. Well, I also avoided even picking one up for that matter. Anyway, if recoil bothers you why not use one? It might even improve accuracy for the quick 5 shots we are permitted here in Canuckistan.
Had it on a semi auto 308. I would say the recoil reduction is very low. Far far away from the effects of a muzzle brake. The only reason i got it was the adjustable cheek piece.
The cheak peice rub your face in a negative way?
