I don't mean to step on anyone's toes here, but has anyone actually tested this thing to see if it works? I see people on both sides of the argument who are absolutely certain it will or will not work, but I haven't seen any real tests yet. A few have claimed to shoot it, but they didn't mention side by side comparisons and if that's the case, their experiences may not be valid. Some scientific tests would be great with shock sensors or whatever they use to test recoil, but even a good old fashioned seat-of-the-pants test would be better than nothing.

Would anyone who owns or has access to one of these mind taking it to the range and shooting identical loads both with and without the brake to see if it actually works? You could even get all fancy and attach something to the barrel of the shotgun that weighs the same as the brake when you're testing with the brake off to determine if the (potential) recoil reuction comes from something the brake is actively doing or simply from the added weight.

I think they look ridiculous and cumbersome and doubt the brake does much, but I still would like to see some testing instead of conjecture from both sides.
 
My BPS kicks like a mule 30" bbl, 3 1/2", 12 ga. No one who shot it would pull the trigger a second time. A friend was given a BPS 28" bbl,3 1/2",12 ga. And his felt about like all the other 3 1/2,12's I've shot. Why the diff? Who knows? I called Browning and they were NO help, just said I'm recoil sensitive, even though I said that the Ben Nova pump 3 1/2, 12 I have kicks way less. So much for customer service!!!
