    I wouldn't know as I have not been fortunate enough to play with shotguns that much. I used to have a Beretta 1201FP with a Choate stock PG buttstock and I don't remember it rocking me as hard or my hand getting beat up from the PG.

I noticed the new factory Beretta 1301 Tactical uses an Urbino stock and that certainly speaks well, IMO. That said, is anybody using them or in the know to something pertinent before I take the plunge?
    Mine has proven to be solid. It's definitely a huge upgrade from the longer LOP on the original stock. As others have pointed out, the grip angle is less than ideal, but it doesn't really make a difference for me regarding speed/accuracy, it's just a bit less comfortable. They should've made the pistol grip more vertical to match the shorter LOP, but it seems like they just left it the same angle as the original. I didn't really notice a big difference with the LimbSaver pad, but I wasn't really bothered by the recoil on the original. The pistol grip padding is nicer than the original though, that was something I noticed right away. I do wish it had a QD slot like the Magpul shotgun stocks. It's kind of pointless to use a clash hook or QD on the front when the rear sling point is directly threaded to the stock. There's a hook option where the stock meets the receiver but it makes for a weird sling position. Overall I'm very happy I upgraded to the Mesa stock. Next up is a new foregrip probably.

    Have you tried mounting the sling to the right side of the stock, try it if not and you may be better setup there. Thanks for sharing the pics w/ measurements, that looks like what i need for sure.

    I sold the 1100, and only reason I swapped the Mesa on my SN for a ComforTech was that I prefer a traditional stock over pistol grip.

    In fact, my Mesa Urbino for the SN is available for sale.
    What mount are you using for your light on the supernova in this picture?
