Hey yall. I am currently a new recruit (or FNG) @ a local pd, and will begin the academy in April. I have worked in a law enforcement environment for almost 3 years and possess an Associates in CJ. So I am no stranger to the LE world. I also have a good experience with firearms, being started on them at an early age. I currently own a Mossberg 500A with the 18.5'' barrel for home defense. I have experience with this design for 3-4 years now, and prefer the mechanics of a Mossberg to the M870 (although this was the first pump design I was exposed to, with about 7 years of experience). I am debating purchasing another Mossberg 500 or 590 8 or 9 shot as a backup shotgun. I am wondering if this philosophy is sound or if it would just be a waste of my hard earned money. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
