Just the engagement sound of a Mossberg in the dark will have anyone make in their pants.

Agreed. I had 2. I have one now and a Winchester pump. The sound of the pump action is classic and scary to any burglar. Try this. Rack the slide on an empty gun and listen. Now rack the slide on a live round. The piston sound of the round entering the chamber increases the sound and will let anyone know it’s the real deal.

From the era before carry permits.
When the second floor door of a national chain motel outside a St. Louis broke open to be caught by the secondary bar lock,
the would be room invaders heard the throaty sound of an 870 12 ga. loading one into the chamber.

All I heard then was, “Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot! We be leavin. We be leavin.”
And they did.
