Isn't it interesting how we all perceive recoil? I have two Benelli M1S90's and my son has a Vinci and neither one of us consider them "kickers." I've owned Beretta, Browning, Franchi, Remington, and Winchester semi-auto's to compare and the Benelli doesn't bother me one bit. My son just got rid of a jamming Winchester SX3 for his Vinci and is glad to be rid of the SX3. My coyote load is 1 1/2 ounces of tungsten BB's at 1,350 fps. I've patterned hundreds of heavy magnum coyote and/or turkey loads through my M1's and never payed it much mind. We just did the same for his Vinci and quite honestly I think it recoils a bit more than my old M1S90. He says he can't tell any difference between them.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
