Guess I'm in the club now!
I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a shotgun of some sort for a while, after have a great time with my friends Mossberg 590. I wanted something good for home defense, "SHTF" type fantasies, maybe some hunting, and just all around shooting fun. This weekend, I got to shoot skeet with a buddy testing out a new thrower, something i've never done, and I had an absolute blast, so add that sort of thing to the list.
Alas, being a broke recent college graduate, I dont have piles of green to burn, so I wanted something inexpensive. I found a beat up Mossberg 500 (I'm a lefty, so I prefer the mossys after trying all of the 'big 3'), with an 18.5" barrel and beat up furniture, but it works, and thats what I care about. The price was right ($135 shipped), so I'm very excited, even though I'll probably end up buying a barrel for sporting purposes. The gun itself should be at my FFL monday, so I'm very excited, and wanted to share that with you guys!
Enough of me, back to your highly informative shotgun threads (I've learned a friggin TONNE from reading this board)
oh, almost forgot, my first, only, and thus favorite ugly duckling:
