Magpul SGA recoil pad

[Grouse870]

I have a magpul sga on my 870 tactical and have been doing some upgrades. I saw that kick eze has two recoil pads for the sga. Anyone have experiences with either one?

Get the fighting version, as that decreases LOP. It's what you want.

If your recoil management is solid, you don't need a thick pad. The thinner 'fighting' pad that Kick Eez makes lets you cut another 1/2" off LOP off the gun, which can be mighty handy.

The thinner fighting pad is the only one I'd get - however, based on the 2 reviews, I'd like to hear some more feedback before getting one - looks like one guy had a gooey sticky pad and one guy had a pad that he had to wrap in electrical tape to keep from sticking -

The ones I've seen have been a little tacky at first, but one session at the range dried them right out and they were fine.

Thanks!

It's been a while since I handled one of the X22 pads but I seem to recall them being not quite as squishy/cushy as the kickeez pads. I'd have to get my hands on one again to really be sure though.

See ya next month. :cool:

See ya next month. :cool:Awesome... Maybe we can get an update on the two options side by side.

The X22 pads are not squishy at all - they are rubber - but super low profile and handy and don't stick which is why I run them - keeps the shotgun as compact and nimble as possible for me -

I got the Fighting Kick EEZ pad for my SGA stock on my new Vang Comp 590A1, and it feels amazing. I don't have to extend my arm out nearly as much to work the pump. It helps that I'm used to AK stocks which are short.

What does a thinner recoil pad give you if you don't need the shortest length possible stock?

The primary purpose is to reduce LOP even further. I do find that the KickEez thin pad has a nice radius at the heel to reduce snagging when mounting the gun, which is also nice.

I picked up the standard version. It’s the same size as the stock magpul one but does appear to be more “squishy”. I haven’t shot it yet but will soon and report back.
