All you need is a limbsaver, they make a grind to fit that will work on every gun, they even make a slip on for the lazy people. Every store that sells guns will sell limbsavers.

because heavier shotguns will absorb more of the recoil because they have more weight the .410 is always going to be one of the hardest kicking shotguns. If the recoil is really bothering you I would reccommend getting a heavier shotgun with a bigger gauge. or there are several things you can do to add weight to your .410. You can put a mercury cylinder in the stock which will add weight and is also supposed to absorb recoil--I have one and it works ok. You can also get a new stock from a company such as Wenig that will give you a heavier stock. You can add weight to the barrel and you can get your gun ported or get ported choke tubes that will help release some of the gas when you shoot. Finally you can take your gun to a gun smith and tell him you want the recoil to be lessened--in a way they eliminate recoil. This is the most expensive option. My advice to you would be to shoot a heavier gun.
Good luck!

The problem is that your .410 is way too light. That is a design 'flaw' and the only thing I can suggest is getting a better recoil pad or having the barrel 'ported' at the end to lighten the recoil. Personally I don't like ported or compensated guns, but that's just me. NOTE: If you do get the barrel ported you'll get less recoil and more of a muzzle blast/flash.
Best,

i know there are some stocks that reduce recoil using a spring, but they are fairly expensive. also a barrel break would help, or a longer barrel. i don't understand why it matters that much though. it is only a .410 so it shouldn't kick very hard at all, and since its a single shot, your not gona miss a follow up shot because of the recoil.

You ought to double it in weight. I am assuming that because the gun is so light that it has a synthetic stock. I would purchase a walnut stock and forend. The additional weight will drastically cut down on the kick. If it is still to aggressive, I would buy a limbsaver recoil pad. I recently put on my encore due the large rifle rounds I fire and now I can shoot it all day. Good luck

I wonder if the stock fits you. At that weight, it's gonna kick, but a half inch in length of pull and a fraction of that in cast off can make a world of difference in felt recoil, even though the measured recoil is the same. If you've never been fitted, it might be worthwhile in part for this, and for future reference. Then you'll have a better idea of your options.

I would think about purchasing a semi-auto 20 guage. If you are recoil sensitive this may be a good alternative to putting money into your .410.
A cool factoid is that a .410 would be a 67.5 guage !!!! :)

Just take it to a gunsmith and get a better pad and a muzzlebrake put on it.
