I found a Remington 870 Police mag at my local gun shop so I put money down on it and will pick it up in a couple of weeks. I did some more research on both the Mossberg 590a1 and the 870 Police. I got in contact with Wilson Combat and Nighthawk Custom. Both agreed that the 870 is a great shotgun but they also said the Mossberg 590a1 was really good as well. In fact the guy at Wilson said they are going to start carrying accessories for Mossberg after the first of the year. So I really don't think one is that one is greater than the other. It just comes down to which one a person prefers. I guess I'm writing about this because I had a real hard time trying to decide between the two, as do many other folks. I got real tired hearing one person say Remington is great and Mossberg stinks or Mossberg is great and Remington stinks. In my quest to find which was the perfect shotgun on this and other forums I really got no where. Why, Because there is no perfect shotgun. There's just what you personally like.
