I'm looking to get a bedside HD shotgun. I'm torn between the Remington 870 and the Mossberg 500. Either one I get will be with an 18in barrel. Any reason you like one more than the other?
My preference is the Mossberg
Get a Wingmaster and a Mossberg and you'll be satisfied, otherwise you'll always wonder what it was like to get the other brand. Do yourself a favour and get both. Plus your friends can shoot one and you can have discussions on which is your favorite
Unless I lose an arm I'll be shooting rightyIf you ever plan to shoot lefty the mossberg is the one.
If it's for bedside HD, you need to learn to shoot lefty too. When peeking around corners on your right hand side, if you shoot right handed, you expose your whole body before you can get the weapon around the corner. Transition to shooting left handed for those corners and you minimize how much of you is exposed.
Anyone who thinks they might be doing any amount of shooting inside a building, even their home, needs to learn to use their weapon of choice with both hands.
