Good choice, but a bit of advice about that pistol grip.

One wet and windy night out here in the swamp I was having problems with my long wire shortwave antenna. I used a spotlight, looked out the door and saw a tree limb hitting the wire.

I pulled out the Mossberg with the pistol grip, opened the door and cut loose on the branch. My wet left hand slipped off the wet forend and that 20" barrel came up and back and nailed me right on the forehead, hard!

Sorry, but I pictured that barrel cracking you in the head and had to laugh, sorry ;(

I think the pistol grip frankly would be too much, would probably break my wife’s hand, but great for testosterone ...

And guys, thanks fot the tips on youtube videos on the Mossberg 500 and to get the low recoil cartridges for my wife to get used to it, I hate for her to shoot it once and be terrified of it.

Load with 2 #4, then 4 00buck, followed by 2 slugs.

That way you can blast em up close, then further out and a couple of rounds that will go thru the car they are driving.

For branch killing you need the Chainsaw.
