They are ugly but work I have 3 of them. Also a stock lock PFS reduces recoil more plus you can adjust to fit. another advantage can keep when trading and just get different grip
I refer to mine as my prosthetic stock - hopefully it will avoid the need for a prosthetic shoulder.
Seriously, it is UGLY !, but it essentially converts your gun to a try gun and it does mitigate felt recoil.
Biggest problem may be the temptation to adjust EVERYTHING EVERY TIME you miss a target (hint: it ain't the gun's fault).

I love mine. Put it on my 725 and haven't looked back. Once I got it to where I wanted to shoot, I blue locktited the screws.
I had one on a Beretta and loved it. MY problem was that I couldn't stop fiddling with the settings. I would be doing fine and then decide to adjust something which, in turn, gave me a reason to fix something else. AND SO ON.
I am seriously thinking of buying another PFS for my backup TM1. If I do it at the Grand in August, I'll make sure the seller sets it up for me so it handles like my primary TM1.

I have two, they are great
Purchased my first one from Bob Schultz in 2005, and it was great. The primary advantage is also it's biggest challenge - the infinite adjustability. The gun can be fit perfectly to you. Those that don't like them invariably say that they kept adjusting them and just couldn't get it right. The key is to have it fit to you...AND LEAVE IT ! Shoot it for a while and then, maybe tweak it. Just like any other adjustable stock, continuous adjustment negates proper fit.
They are also great for growing youth shooters who can stay with a single gun longer, and adjust the stock as they grow.
I have purchased a couple more with new guns. They are a great product. Vern Brown provided EXCELLENT service, and Bob Schultz has carried on the tradition.
Would highly recommend, and if it doesn't work for you they are easy to resell.
Good Luck !

The one thing that makes the PFS system stand out over other recoil Devices is that they are fully adjustable and can be taken from one make of gun to another by simply replacing the grip . Grips are around $200 . Far cry from purchasing another system for another gun , which would be dedicated to that gun Only.
The one I purchased has a woodgrain finish and looks better than the synthetic black ones , although not as nice looking as a full wood stock .

Have one on my back-up gun. After I adjusted it, i can shoot my back-up at exact POI as my primary gun.

An OVERWHELMING majority of people who DON'T like them either adjusted it so much and so often they never truly got used to it (trying to adjust their way into good scores), they never had it adjusted properly to begin with, or a combination of both. Or they just couldn't live with the aesthetics (I know someone who falls into all 3 categories). That covers 95%+ of those who had a PFS and got rid of it.
If you have no idea where to begin to get it fit to yourself and your shooting style ask someone who does for help or invest the $ to go to a stock fitter, this is not something you'll blindly fall into the correct measurements eventually. If you aren't cognizant of this, and willing to admit to your limitations, you're setting yourself up for near guaranteed failure.
I've been shooting PFSs since 2007. I've tried a few times to go back to a wood stock, and I've finally admitted to myself that unless I'm willing to spend 2-3k to have a custom stock made, the PFS is here to stay.

Between the wife and I, we have 5 of them.
About the best endorsement I can give was that a couple of years ago I stated that I wouldn't buy another competition gun that I couldn't put a PFS on, I broke that rule and bought a 870 Competition knowing one hadn't been made to my knowledge. So I bought a spare grip and inletted it to fit an 870. I have since refitted it to have the stock more inline with the boreline.
