The Magpul feels a lot better.Mine is pretty basic. I may swap out the corn cob.
That’s sweet it’s definitely a home defense weaponThe Magpul feels a lot better.
Ive had problem s with the 590 dropping rounds out of the bottom of the action before the trap dropped. Do I sold it! In my opinion you can't go wrong with either as long as they are good quality with a good design. Look at the 870, Winchester Defender or Benelli M4. My personal favorite is my trusty recoil operated Belgium made Browning Auto-5 with with an improved cylinder barrel for home defense. It's never jammed after several hundred rounds through it and just hearing that "CLANG!!?CLANG!!! CLANG!!!" Every time I squezz the trigger and that barrel slides the action back and then into full battery is so Awesome! So much fun! Shoot fun shoot safe and shoot straight!I prefer semis, but there’s nothing wrong with a pump.
Benelli M1 is my first choice; Mossberg 500/590 is my second.
That looks like a bad a** scatter gun! Wut is it again?I just went and snapped a couple pics real quick. This is the current set up, which I like very much.
Mossberg 500/ 21" barrel, with a Phoenix telescoping buttstock, a Magpul MOE forend and an NDZ enhanced safety. 5 round side saddle on the buttstock and a 7 round Esstac card on the receiver.That looks like a bad a** scatter gun! Wut is it again?
Ha ha! Nice! Excellent choice in home defense insurance!Mossberg 500/ 21" barrel, with a Phoenix telescoping buttstock, a Magpul MOE forend and an NDZ enhanced safety. 5 round side saddle on the buttstock and a 7 round Esstac card on the receiver.
Brother, I have been shotgunning a very long time, I am in good shape with good upper body strength and I am intimately familiar with the push/pull method, proper LOP, stance and recoil mitigation techniques with a shotgun and I don't care who you are if you run 20 3" slugs or even the 2 3/4 1600 FPS Truball slugs through a KSG25 or a 500 or any pump gun it's going to get uncomfortable. Painful may not be the right word, but uncomfortable is definitely an accurate description.
The Mesa Tactical Urbino is great too.^ I get what you mean, and similarly, I think that distinction really is key.
Discomfort and pain are different things.
Discomfort and even some bruising/chafing from repeated recoil -but properly managed- recoil is one thing- getting one's cheek whacked so hard that their teeth cuts the inside of their mouths or that they don't want to return to the second day of class.....that's something that definitely signals improper technique.
I was never truly comfortable with the SpeedFeed stocks (on my run-of-the-mill 870), even though I really liked their balance and the fact that they carried the spare shells so securely and in such a unobtrusive manner. Even at 6' even, with an average armspan-for-size, it was just a bit too long, and shooting hundreds of high-brass birdshot plus a few boxes of slugs -while it wasn't unpleasant to me- still felt like work. With the Magpul stock, I go through the same volume without a second thought .
I have a couple old bolt action 16s.Hey what about Brandon's double barrel orView attachment 25996 Actually I'm partial to pumps, qualified for years with the 870, but having a nice semi around wouldn't do ya any harm.
I’ve got a bolt action .410…I have a couple old bolt action 16s.
One of my buddies has a bolt action .410. He shoots skeet ( very well) with it. The same guy also shoots skeet very well with a .22.I’ve got a bolt action .410…
Did you ever think the President would agree with you?Despite the popularity of rifles and handguns, the shotgun has a long history as a traditional home defense firearm.
Should You Choose a Pump-Action or Semi-Automatic Shotgun for Home Defense?

How many rounds have you put through it ? How reliable has it been feeding/ejecting wise. I almost bought one, but I have always had an aversion to external box fed magazines on shotguns. I opted instead for the KSG25 and the IWI TS-12, both of which have tube magazines and hold 25 and 16 rounds respectively. They ( VR80) look like a lot of fun though and one thing I have a really hard time saying no to is fun with shotguns.I've got a RIA VR-80 (Magazine Fed Semi-Auto) at the ready with magazines full of slugs and 00Buck to choose from
but realistically, it's the Pistols in Biometric Safes that I'd get to first if I had to
