Ted, May I offer some advice??? Get a competion gun to shoot high volume while learning to shoot right handed. Maybe take your Benelli Black Eagle that you hate and trade it for a Beretta A400?? The Beretta is a soft shooter (weighs 8 + lbs) and a trade wont be that terribly expensive for you. Id recommend NOT getting the kick-off gimmick on the A400. Having had one, I can tell you they are junk. These recoil redux devices dont change the amount of energy one receives to the shoulder one iota in terms of recoil, it only changes perceived recoil (recoil change over time), if it even does that. I actually believe the kick-offs kick harder since having a bad right shoulder makes me an expert on perceived recoil. BTW, the trap A400 with parallel comb and step rib shoots a full patter high (no matter how you adjust the stock shims) , so Id only look at the sporting models with the flat rib if I were you. Your son might like the Beretta too? Really nice guns!
