I’ve seen it from $579 - $700+...just depends on where you shop. Google Kel-Tec KSG and click on the “Shopping” button on the left of the Google screen.

Yes Hattend, it’s legal for civilians, and because it’s a bullpup design, it’s overall length is shorter than a standard 18” barrel shotgun but still utilizes an 18” barrel. Pretty cool, eh?

They used the 870 from WWI to Gulf War I and a little later.

The 870 was introduced in 1950. The Winchester 1897 was used in WWI and WWII, along with the Stevens 520 in WWII. The Savage version of the Browning A5 saw duty in Vietnam. The 870 saw action as well.

Buy a BIGGER one...there is no substiture for horsepower.
I have no experience w/ shotguns, but plenty w/ M-14 and M-16. Not sure what you mean by "bigger", w/ regard to shotguns.

[oh8eleven]

Got it - thx.

[oh8eleven]

That’s one BAD looking gun.

[oh8eleven]

Even with #4 shot it tries to separate your thumb from the rest of your hand.
I encountered a few stories like that in my research. Thx ...

[oh8eleven]

Get two of these!
LOL ... one for each hand?

[oh8eleven]

Either that or the equivalent 870, it’s pretty much a coin toss from what I can tell.
Yeah, I think I choose the 500 because it has an aluminum receiver and it's a lighter.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Size of shot does not matter, it’s the weight and velocity that contributes to recoil. If you shoot 1 ounce of #9 shot (itty bitty) or 1 ounce of buckshot at a given velocity, the recoil will be the same. It all comes down to weight of gun (heavier will recoil less), weight of shot charge, and velocity.

Some semi automatics will have less perceived recoil due to part of the cartridge’s energy being expended to cycle the gun.

If it has a plastic safety catch, have a gunsmith replace it with a metal one.
I think it has a (heavy) plastic trigger guard too. I plan on a minimum of use, so I'm not that concerned.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Trigger guard isn’t a problem, Mossberg used them on a number of .22 rifles for decades without problems. I have seen numerous plastic safety catches on the 500 break, including the one on the 20 gauge I gave Mother Slim for home protection backin the 80’s. They might have corrected the problem, but metal ones are available.

I'll look into a metal one. Thx ...

My latest is a mossberg 930 jm pro that I’m loving. 9+1 with a 24 inch barrel. I think with a new plug I can get 10 + 1.

The Remington 870 is the best selling shotgun in history.

My brother has one. He's had it since around 1975. The design is even older than that, the 870 was introduced in 1950. You'd think someone, possibly as many as 10 million someones, would have noticed this "design flaw" by now. They built the 10 millionth 870 in 2009, making the 870 the best-selling shotgun in the history of the world.

[oh8eleven]

Well, if I get a flash mob coming my way this summer, I'll wish I had the 10+1.
I guess I'll just have to learn how to reload reeeeal fast. Thx ...

[El Gato]

Only evidence left was the puddle of urine outside my door. (No joke.)

You really should have taken a picture of the evidence. Might have caught a picture of a footprint after the perp had stepped in "it".

[wastedyears]

Those are ridiculously cheap. Whenever I move out of the Democratic People’s Republic of New York, that will probably be the first firearm I buy.

[Sirius Lee]

I’m with mrmeyer, get the 590. And if you’re a boat guy like me, get the stainless.

I'm former USMC. NO boats.
