My understanding is they are popular in things like the Shockwave. Admittedly have not fired any myself but I would think the birds head grip on those guns has a lot to do with recoil mitigation.

I have used them in my KSG and Shockwave. Very easy to shoot with minimal recoil. I just wish they were cheaper.

No recoil to speak of.
Not from the hip per say but I lit off a tube's worth from a Shockwave at the range once. Recoil is similar to target birdshot loads.

not to hard to handle
It's just that in Close-Range "Situations" I feel it advisable not to restrict your awareness by bringing sights right up to your face, with the inevitable SQUINTING.
I was taught in Advanced Infantry Training to shoot the M16 from the hip, in short bursts.
I was told that in Vietnam, while on patrol, long-range shooting was rare.
Fortunately I never found out for real.

That's why I put a CT green rail laser on my Shockwave, so I only shoot it from the hip.
