While that makes it GREAT for concealed carry, it means the recoil isn't eaten up by the mass of the firearm, and therefore it all has to go to the user's hand. None of my .357s or .45 ACPs have the recoil of the P3AT, but that is strictly a function of firing an 8 ounce gum. And with respect to the shotgun, I have bruised my shoulder firing magnum turkey loads out of my Mossberg 500 12 gauge. Any other load, no problem.
