I'd go with a Mossburg 500 series.
The 590 is nice.

Nice,
I've got one with a Knoxx, Spec Ops double recoil reducing action that takes all the kick out of it... Holds 8 +1 rounds, to boot....

for many the 590 is an excellent choioce ... ultra dependable, healthy magazine and won’t mess with your 401k dollar wise. But then again most 12 gauges with a 28 barrel are good.

However .. in my case ... I live in an ancient 17 room circa 1851 house with many adjacent doorways, nooks, crannies and short hallways ... maneuvering in the dark of night with a “long” gun makes for quite a chore ...

I’ll stick with my 1911.
