They help a bit with the big kickers...
…but even then I don't know they're 100% needed. I have one on my little 45-70 and it helps, but the only time I remember having a problem with the factory one was when I shot it like I would my .22 , three fingers in and the pinkie outside. I thought I broke it with the recoil of one shot. Lesson learned.
What's available for no Marlins though? (I don't know)
