[STAGE 2]

...specifically the limited edition one with the 18.5 inch barrel, pistol grip, and the breaching muzzle break. I've already got an 870P so this wont be filling a gap, and please no editorials on pistol grips on shotguns. I don't have an aversion to them, but it would probably be replaced anyways.

Does this version come with the 590 series or only the 500, and how is it for a beater shotgun.

[Dave McCracken]

Mossbergs are darn good shotguns. Good for rough conditions.

They may not hold up as long as an 870, but it will take more than one generation to tell.

I got one too. Wouldnt trade it for anything.Up close and personal you cant beat a shotgun for HD.I keep it loaded with #4 buck and up to 20 feet it will stop most anything I would want to shoot.





one shot one kill

I have but one suggestion if you decide to buy a Cruiser.
Spend some extra money and install a Pachmayer pistol grip and forend on the gun, you will be amazed at the increase in control and comfort when shooting full power shells through the gun.

I carried a 500 in Iraq and hunt with a 590 at home. No complaints with
function or durability. I was pleased with slug accuracy even from a
smoothbore at 100 yds (on my civie 590; no hollow point slugs in combat
allowed.)

Pistol grips are great for breaching, inside your house or other tight (close)
quarters. I actualy went with a folder on the 500 while another guy did the
m4 style collapsable.
