Excellent Shotgun,
September 07, 2012
This is the first gun that I've owned and I'm very happy that I got it. It's very light, well balanced, and compact. The barrel can be easily removed for easy cleaning and it does everything that the description says it does. The one thing that I really noticed is that since this gun is fairly light, you will notice a difference in the amount of kick with this one versus a heavier shotgun.

Bug Out Bag Must Have,
May 05, 2012
I carried one in the Army (mumble mumble) years ago and pulled off several perfect and near perfect runs in Urban Assault courses. A dependable, easy to maintain weapon. The pistol grip shortens it enough to be a good fit in an ALCE pack or bug-out bag.

DESCRIPTION...,
February 03, 2012
I'm new to firearms in general, and this is my first shotgun. Therefore, I'm not qualified to truly evaluate it. However, I do have a piece of interesting info:
The description indicates it is 5+1 with 2 3/4" shells and 4+1 with 3" shells. I have not found that to be the case. I was able to fit 5 Remington 3" slugs in the magazine with some room to spare no problem. On closer inspection, the manual says that "the use of 3 inch shells MAY reduce the magazine's capacity by 1"

the AK of the shotgun world,

this is the shotgun that can play in the rain, dirt, and street. feed it any type of ammo up to 3". never had a problem with mine and the amount of accessories out there is excellent. with a simple barrel switch you can go from hunting to defense within 30 seconds. i would not recommend the pistol grip (it is more for looks than accuracy and ease of shooting). all in all this is a very versatile and reliable weapon.

Great shotgun,

Mossberg does it best. You can't beat the design and reliability. I love shooting my mossberg. Nothing packs a punch like a 12 gauge. I deffenently recommend this gun.

Reliable and Inexpensive, you can't go wrong!,
November 17, 2010
Mossberg shotguns are highly reliable and heavily used by Military, Police and Private Security.
Mossberg has a long standing reputation for being able to withstand heavy usage and staying reliable.
For my next home defense purchase I will definitely be purchasing a Mossberg 500 shotgun!
As reliable as a Remmington for far less cost you cannot go wrong!
