I'm with Steve on this one. Nine thou is a bit high, but not egregiously so. If those tubes are indeed 44-thousandths then those shells will never come close to causing this gun a problem (barring a stuck wad, but that's any gun). Moreover, if felt recoil isn't bad then I'd not be too-concerned about the head of the stock either.
