I’m jealous. A Mossberg has been on my to-do list for years.
I had a Remington 1022, those things are practically indestructible. Hundreds of rounds through that if not thousands. I’d go out with a couple boxes of 50 rounds shot each time out and destroyed my recycled Coke cans the fun way.
I have a Remington 870 magnum marine which I’ve owned for 15+ years and will never part with it.
My Beretta 92D I sold when I lived in Virginia due to them not having a reciprocal concealed carry deal with Pennsylvania. I didn’t want to go through their licensing procedure and frankly should have bought a handgun that was single/double action instead of double only.
I agree with the opinions given. Shotgun, handgun, rifle. Those are the trinity of personal survivability. Notice I didn’t say self-defense. The crap hits the fan you don’t want to wish you had spent $1,000 to protect you, your home, your family and possibly country. Remember New Orleans after Katrina, remember the LA riots, remember that in the case of blizzards, tornados, hurricanes etc. you’re on your own.
This isn’t a gun nut saying this, I’m anything but. My family thinks I’m crazy for believing these things but hey, they have insurance and I do too. I can’t be reimbursed for my life.
