LOL i meant from like being comfortable on my shoulder feeling the recoil… Worded wrong. i felt it a bit more in my shoulder but it was not nearly as straining as some of the other 12 gauges I have shot. It was great with trap too… I was using an over under, dont recall which one that It had been real good all day. I’m guessing the choke on the beretta was a bit tighter (think im refering to the right thing?) as I seemed to get more dead on shots rather than a few “clips” of a bird that I was getting with the other guns like they were scattering more. ---

You can take the Utah class and get a permit as a non resident for utah, but you still won’t be able to buy a pistol or own a pistol in ny without a ny permit. NY does not accept any other state’s permits. ---
