Nice!
I have a 500, and it has always been great.

They’re great shotguns, I have had two, but I always ended up trading them for something I wanted more. Can’t go wrong with them. Get a Knoxx recoil absorbing stock for it. You’ll be glad you did.

A shotgun is an awfully specialized choice for a tactical weapon. Most people would be better served by a semi-auto rifle. I’d say an FAL or AR-15 if you want something lighter, but hey, whatever floats your boat...

Mossberg makes a great shotgun for home defense; it's short for ease of maneuvering in close quarters. It's name/model is on the tip of my tongue; maybe someone else knows?

My Daddy was always a Mossberg man. My first shotgun back in 1958 was a Mossberg 20 gauge. It was a terrible shotgun. It was a bolt action, 3 shot and mechanically worked fine.
The main problem was it kicked much harder than a 20 gauge should have. This was despite having a rubber recoil pad and muzzle brake cuts just behind the C-lect choke. Also the trigger had an edge which was so sharp that it often cut my finger under recoil.
My next Mossberg was a model 500 pump. The safety which was placed in the exact right position for easy use, was made of plastic and broke. I went to the local gun dealer to order a new one and to my surprise he had maybe two dozen of them already in stock. He said they all broke so he ordered plenty of replacements.
Actually I like Mossbergs just fine, but they have made some pretty bad products,

If you a bargain shotgun from Mossberg based on the 500 series, take a look at their Maverick line. It's pretty much the same as 500, except the safety is different. Barrels for the 500 are interchangeable. I got the the Security 88 model with 18.5" barrel at Academy Sports for $149 about 2 years ago.

I have a Mossberg Maverick. I have the standard barrel for hunting turkey, etc and I also have the home defender barrel, which is shorter. This is a cheaper option, but damn that tactical shotgun looks fun!

For some reason I prefer a shotgun without a pistol grip.

Sorry for necroposting, but I just bought one of these and it is awesome. The heavy barrel really helps ameliorate the recoil.
