I bought my Nova for a fantastic price and found it to be an excellent all around pump. My initial idea was to use it strictly as a home defense weapon. After getting some time with it on the range I recently replaced the 870 I used to carry in my patrol car with my Nova. The only modifications I did were to add the two round magazine extension, put on a single point sling and to put on an after market heat shield. It has turned out to be a sweet firearm with excellent accuracy and pattern and as far as the recoil goes, if you pull it in it felt the same as my 870.
