I think every 20 ga I have ever shot kicked harder than the same model in 12 ga. Not sure why that would be unless it's due to the smaller surface area of the recoil pad, and the lighter weight. My FIL gave me a "beyond repair" Franchi 20 ga. It took me about 20 minutes to fix it. Now that it's fixed I never shoot it. I think it kicks harder with heavy bird loads than my Benelli does with 3 1/2" duck loads.
