You are correct, 100% Jack Booted Thug.

We are issued Mossberg's but I miss the old Winchesters, all you had to do was pump it and hold the trigger back.

Not long ago I bagged a pit bull and a rottweiler (I call it 'big game hunting' in the city) on the same call.

The pit bull charged at me and I shot. I thought I missed him because he took off running. He got about three or four lawns over and dropped. Took two to put the rott down, he was pretty big.

The neighbors came out and thanked me.

Mossberg's are good, cheap, and reliable. That said, I really love my dad's 20 gauge Model 12. It's dynamite on upland game. But, my favorite shotgun of all time is my ancient Ithaca lightweight double. It just always hits what I'm shooting at, for some reason. It doesn't get used much any more, since I rarely have time for quail hunting.

Mossberg's 500 series, though, is one of the best bargains on the planet, in my opinion. They ain't fancy, that's for sure, but they always work.
