Is the beretta KO system worth buying?

Might as well if you are already spending that kinda $$$$$. It works. Makes shooting 3.5"'s tolerable. However, if you don't shoot geese or skybust much, a 390 is much cheaper.

Love my A400 xtreme Unico - love it

But I duck hunt more than most - and the kick off makes for a nice day when you start getting older...like me.

What do you mean?

Don't go half arse when purchasing guns. At least that's how I justify spending that much $$. The KO is sweet, though. Especially on goose hunts when mixing in 3.5's

Depending on how much you shoot, the "pogo-stick" feeling of the gun can be awkward when you're not used to it.

Seeing as I shoot 20 -30,000 rounds of target loads per year that really have no need for the KO system, it's really awkward to me those few times I go goose hunting and use the KO.

If you're planning on being mostly a target shooter, I would recommend the mercury recoil reduces, barrel weights, mag weights, stock weights, etc. before the KO.

If you're mostly a duck hunter (as suggested by the OP) then its probably worthwhile to get used to the KO since those heavy loads can really catch up to you recoil-wise.

Get the KO. That will be my next shotgun I'm just having trouble putting aside my 390 for it.

bonus part of doing this is that you can adjust the pull-length this way to get a better fit.
