+1 on the kick issue but for a 20 gauge it is an easy to carry / handy little gun. As an option I picked up a pair of Little Skeeters chamber reducers in 28 gauge and they give a noticeable reduction in recoil. The 28's shoot / pattern OK (my Tamer 20 is in modified), 410 bore reducers are available too but apparently don't work as well in a 12 or 20 ga.
