My experience with Mossberg 500 shotguns is that they are lightweight and kick more than most similar shotguns.
I know of nothing that lightens up the recoil to any signficant level.
Then again, farmers around here buy the 500 as a "disposable" shotgun - they use them to shoot blackbirds - and shoot a thousand rounds or so through them and they are worn out... Then again, they are using light loads, so they are not so concerned with recoil.

Good evening.
I prefer my Remington 870 but I also have a 12 gauge 500 and a 20 gauge 500. The 12 gauge Mossy is a Defender, inexpensive and, as you said, lightweight. I can't shoot 3" shells through it for long. With 2 3/4 shells the recoil is more acceptable.
The 20 gauge is a sweety.

(no surrender no retreat, well, maybe retreat's ok)
