I have a Mossberg 590, hard to go wrong with that. I also have a Benelli M1 S90 that's just way to good for me.

My Winchester 1200, full-length mag tube, holds about fourteen of them. Full ballistics (they just deleted the overpowder wad, and made it a card only) and surprisingly little recoil.

Mossberg : the plastic safety can break easily
Remington: I personally am not crazy about the location of the safety
Winchester: no real complaints but liked the feel of the 870 better
I'm going with the Remington 870.

Get a 'jumbo head' safety and you'll be just fine. Safety buttons are all relative to keeping your fawking finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire, anyway!Remington: I personally am not crazy about the location of the safety

I was a shooting sports instructor for 2 years at the BSA camp here. We NEVER used safeties. Weapons had to be laid down breech open before the range was declared cold.ECKSJAY said:I'd give you a cookie if I had one.![]()
