I have a Remington and a Mossberg, either or as long as it works.

No way was I going to spend 8 minutes of my life listening to some dude talk about a fukn shotgun.

The 870 is the better gun, but Mossberg 500 series is very close. Either platform is fine, and you'll never want for spare parts or aftermarket components for the next few lifetimes.

Not much to say about either, except they both work.  It really depends on whether you like a crossbolt safety, or tang safety.  Also, whether you like a skinny buttstock grip, or thicker buttstock grip.

Remington 870 = crossbolt safety and skinny grip.
Mossberg 500 = tang safety (ambidextrous) and fat grip.
Maverick 88 is a Mossberg 500 with a crossbolt safety instead of tang safety.

They all shoot well, and would all make a nice HD weapon.  It really boils down to which one you shoulder quicker and more comfortably.

If a revolution occurs, I want all badasses on my side. The people depicted in these pictures are lethal weapons. Hands as deadly as grenades, with the precision shot of a top tier marksman.

I have a Mossy 590 pistol grip.  I like the high capacity.

The Remington 870 is a legendary shotgun. If you get the Wingmaster version. The wood and the metal look 1st rate. The economical Express 870 while using cheaper wood and the mental doesn't have a great finish operationally it works perfect. There are so many out there that any option you can think of is easily available. With hard cast Brenneke slugs you could hunt any big game in America within 125 yards or so with a 870 with a smooth bore. Those slugs also have been used in Africa.

 The 870 was the standard police shotgun forever but now it seems many top shelf Police departments are going to the Benelli auto. The action takes a lot of the sting out of shooting heavy loads out of it. It's relatively easy to get good groupings with standard slugs with it's smooth bore with it's rifle sights. The smooth bore allows you to switch between buckshot and slugs.  It also never has jammed on me.

Beretta 391 is a brilliant gun as well. I won 3 of them at various national Sporting Clays competitions in the US as a kid. I love semi-autos.

You must know your shotguns if you competed. I will check the Beretta out.

The 870 & Mossberg 500 are your basic entry level shotguns. Cheap, reliable, easy to fix.
Lot of people buy aftermarket shit for them for various reasons.
I have both. Now they're collecting dust.

I shoot a lot of sporting clays and moved towards semi autos and over/unders. Have semi auto Berttas & Brownings.

870 is an excellent choice as a self defense shotgun. I know someone involved in the clay sports wouldn't pick that shotgun.  Shooting clays is another animal concerning shotguns.  I always wanted a side by side but the cost is through the roof.

Pumps are just a poor choice for shooting sports. Wrong tool for the job.

For a starter HD gun an 870 is hard to beat though.

Shot clays for years with pumps, not ideal but still gets the job done. It's really one of those things where it's all about the user & skill level ....not the tools.
