[Black Adder LXX]

Well, after much reading and some good advice, I finally decided and put the $$$ down on my first shotgun. I went with a 12g mossberg persuader:

I had to order it, so it'll be here in a couple of days. I can't wait! It's straightforward and all business, and has a factory magazine extension, so I have all the bells and whistles I'll ever need.

I want to say thanks to everyone here who gave me advice, especially XavierBreath, who was extremely helpful.

Congrats Black Adder LXX!
Just got one myself!
A little New England Firearms single shot in 12ga. Can't wait to take it out!

Good choice on your first SG.

Mine was a Mossberg 500 and I still have it with both the 18.5" and 28" barrel. I like the persuader model and would love to find one someday. Enjoy and shoot safely. :D
