Excess is vented. It is a fine balance. I had a 3" 1100. To cycle light loads, i really had to lean into it. I shot a lot of skeet. Good training and helped with recoil control on heavy loads.I have a 3 1/2" semi-auto. It cycles 3" and all but the lightest "dove loads". Learning to "lean in" is part of why so many loads work so well. I didn't buy it to shoot light loads, but it is nice to know what I can.</blockquote>
