When I was a kid, I used to shoot my Ithaca Model 37 Featherlight 12 gauge with a 28" modified choke barrel one-handed all the time. I wouldn't do it now (probably).
I guess I've never been recoil-sensitive. Proper hold against the shoulder will eliminate most issues. Never thought a 20 gauge had much recoil at all.Dad had a Mossberg bolt action 20ga with a polychoke that would leave a big bloody bruise every time.

Yep, that would probably do it!I could shoot my 870 all day long but the 20ga was killer for 2 reasons: a thin stock with a very sharp corner and the polychoke (I always kept it cranked down not knowing any better, and it kept it from falling off) that increased felt recoil by quite a lot.
I've shot kegs and serbus one handed, even double fisting. I'm not a weak dude, just getting old.I had a 26" Mossberg 930 that kicked like a 12ga should. Got a 18.5" Mossberg 930 and it is very noticeably softer shooting. I'd try it one handed any day of the week.
"It takes a real professional to take an easy task and make it look difficult!"I was benching 30lb today and made it look like 300lb.
When I worked at Ritters custard all I did was hold a scooper in one hand 95% of my time there.Both my wrists are very messed up. left one is the worst, but right hand is messed up too, so....

After about a year or 2 of that I would wake up in the mornings and my hand wouldn't move essily. It was acting like it had a grip on one of the scoopers. Took about a year after me leaving to stop doing that.
Both of mine are "crunchy". If I hold my thumb on the bottom and my first two fingers on the top, and rotate my wrist, there's a noticeable grinding. Doesn't hurt though.Both my wrists are very messed up. left one is the worst, but right hand is messed up too, so....

I was a gymnast in high school (mostly tumbling) and it really jacked my wrists up I think.
