I didn't know that there was an issue with velocity and recoil as you are implying.. I always thought it didn't matter what weapon you were firing, the projectile was long gone before the kick happened.
It would have less effect with a shorter barrel and faster slug but yeah it definitely matters.
You can probably improve the accuracy of the 870 as well.
Give it a shot.
