Folders
I currently own both the Rem 870, and the Mossberg 500 Persuader (with Cruiser package).
I use the Rem 870 for hunting only, and I use the Mossberg for home defense only.
I just made a post on another board stating why I preferred the Mossberg Persuader over the 870 for home defense purposes at this link:

Anyway -- the Cruiser package that is available when you buy the Mossberg 500 Persuader is the configuration of: pistol grip installed, 20" barrel installed, 7 shot magazine installed, and barrel shroud installed. An evil-looking black gun, indeed.
I have found that it is very VERY easy for one to bust one's lip with a quickness when trying to shoot the weapon with any sort of aim. I *thought* I was holding it tightly enough, but obviously I wasn't -- and shooting from the hip just isn't going to work out effectively.
So, I decided to consider folders. I looked at about 4 different brands from some local gun shops. Every single one had a little bit of a wiggle in it. This is unacceptable. Therefore, I decided to get one of those pistol grip/buttstock things to install on my gun. I intend to go get it tomorrow morning.
I believe that this is the best option. However, if you really want a folder, the one that the previous poster suggested seems like it would be a good one, for a good price.
Hope this helps.
