Tang safety on Mossberg. Button safety on the 870 bye the trigger guard main difference. Both top notch I bought the mossberg.

I don't like the plastic trigger guard on the Mossberg (I know it can be easily changed) or the alloy receiver on the mossberg though.  What are your thoughts on that?

500 Has a better loading system.
870 last longer I hear. The mil? Spec 500 has metal parts instead of plastic.
 I have the 500, for want it is worth.

I can't find the mil-spec 500 with Walnut Polished finished stock!  Any ideas?

I bought mine 8 years ago. Google can help find metal parts, if you want metal parts.  Both are very similar in the end tho.

The 500 is lighter as it has aluminum receiver. The 590 is a nice gun with all the right parts but prob no wood stock model.

If you want an 870 with most of the police internal specs and a nice stock get a Wingmaster.

I have a Mossberg and I am happy with it. I assume the Remington is good as well. When researching a new gun I always see what hickok45 has to say about it.

I have the 870 Police and I've killed more with that gun than the rest combined. It's a tank. All of that said, the Mossy is a bit cheaper and every bit as good. I also like the safety placement on the Mossy better.

As for aftermarket parts and accessories, it's almost dead even.

Make sure you get the 500 and not the other 5XX guns. They're not as good as the 500.

End thread....lmao

I have the 870 ducks unlimited xxx/300 but it's too nice to use so useless :( just like my wetherby Athena SBS English stock....nice guns but never cycled a shell through them

My main use gun is a semi hk 12 gauge tactical 8 tube 1 pipe....shoulder screams after a full empty, but it's like fucking a hot bodied ugly chick "huge fun, until after....then you pay for it"

Shot both but bought the 870 and built it into the magpul version for about 150 cheaper then you can find it customized from Remington. I prefer the safety on top like the 500 but whatever. Look at Quantico arms...great deals on the 870.

Look at both in the store. More cops across the nation have carried the 870. Now most carry semi automatic shotguns like the Benelli.  Look at the Mossberg and the 870 side by side. To me the Mossberg looks cheap even though my most accounts is very reliable like the 870..  If you want a really good looking 870 go with the Wingmaster. Better bluing and wood. The express is just as dependable.  Had my 870 for 25 years and it looks and functions great.

I love the wood look but as all my shit is tactical that's what I have. Ghost ring sites and the side saddle carrier.
