535 Mossberg…3 1/2" kicks like a mule…
Get rid of that 12 gauge and get you a 20 gauge and some TSS. It will pattern as well and kill cleanly as far with 1/3 less weight and 1/2 the recoil. Look at the Franchi Affinity Turkey models. They offer them in mossy oak bottomland and a veil cerekoted edition. About 6 1/2 pounds and set up to hunt. (By the way, they make em in 12 gauge if your just set on the gauge).

I put a Knoxx recoil reduction stock on my Remington 870 years ago. It's pistol grip and I've liked it very much.
Pistol grip = zero cheek slap!!! Thats all you need to know

I wouldn't recommend getting a mossberg with a pistol grip. (I love the Mossbergs.) The thing is, with a pistol grip they require quite a bit more movement to flip the safety off, because it's on top.

Years back I had a benelli sbe2. Camo. Found a matching pistol grip stock I think at woods and water in bham sold it to a guy still uses it
Truth! I had one I nicknamed the mule. Made the mistake of shooting it from a canoe one time and almost went over. Got rid of that thing pronto.535 Mossberg…3 1/2" kicks like a mule…
Absolutely the worst kicking gun I've ever owned. Might as well let me beat your shoulder with a baseball bat
As far as pistol grips go, I set up a 20 ga. 870 for my boys using an adjustable tactical stock with recoil reduction. Perfect for kids with the adjustable LOP and I like carrying it too. I can't find the exact one I got but it's similar to this:

You will never regret going to a pistol grip (or Shurshot stock if you are a Remington guy) on your turkey gun.

I've got two Tristar semi-auto shotguns that I added pistol grips. I'm happy with them.

I have a thumb hole stock Mossberg 835, it's literally the only gun I have ever shot that you feel even when you're shooting at game!!!!!
I bought a new red dot for it and after sighting it in I missed opening morning because my shoulder was too sore a week later!! It's could be forsale? Bwahahaha!

I have hunted with the 835 Ulti-mag for years. I know your pain! Its heavy, ugly and long but love that gun! I have taken every turkey I have ever fired it at and it leaves a bruise for every shot...

Have you looked at Adaptive Tactical? I got one to put on my youth model 870 20 gauge. They were the only ones I remember having different camo options besides the Shurshot that people want an arm and leg for
I put an aftermarket pistol grip on an 835 but can't remember the name and no longer own the gun. It was adjustable. Then I had an 870 with the sureshot stock. No longer own it either. Like them both but the 835 would rattle your teeth.

Same for the youth model Mossbergs/Mavericks. I put an aftermarket pistol grip with adjustable stock on a youth model, 20 gauge Maverick 88. Makes for a very light weight package. That thing was a turkey slayer last season.
The only problem I have with the pistol grip stocks is they dig into my back when carrying it on a sling.it does give you a steady hold when shooting so i guess there is a trade off.
