Got My Shotgun Today!

Devilsown · 09-12-09, 03:24

So after months of waiting I finnaly picked up my Mossberg 590A1 9 shot standard stock with ghost ring sites. LOVE it cant wait to shoot it. Was going to get a pistol grip with adjustable stock but the extra $200 buck wasn't worth it that and the slide release sucked to get to with the pistol grip installed. CANT WAIT TO SHOOT! I've had 500 12 gauge rounds waiting for it o arrive, everything from Remington buckshot 00 and slugs and federal hollow point police issue slugs, and some slug/buckshot combo ammo centurion I think its called.

Devilsown- Hope you like your Mossie...nice safety position on those.

FWIW, IMO you're better off without the pistolgrip stock anyhow, but how does the length of pull fit you?

I agree with Accumulator, You're way better off without the pistol grip. Where I work, our old shotguns were replaced with pistol grips and IMO they stink. I've hurt my wrists from falling and each year goes by, they hurt, ache and pop. So shooting a shotie with a pistol grip stock hurts.

My personally owned Benelli (M1 Super 90) has a full length stock and I love it. I wish that I could take that to work with me instead.

I had a Mossberg with a pistol grip and HATED it. I wound up selling it soon after I got it.

Would have been a great shotgun had I got the standard stock and I would probably still have it.

You made the better choice

Its fits very very nicely, Stock is a little long for my taste but feels better and better the more I hold it. Glad I made the better choice.

Devilsown- Oh, it occurred to me later that I *think* I've heard about a handful of people having issues with how the last two rounds (or maybe it was the follower

) feed in the mag...might be a burr or something...just a heads-up so you can check yours, and don't freak if it needs a tiny tweak to run 100%.

We seem to agree about more than just pistol grips when it comes to working shotguns

Good choice

That's the part I was wondering about. I have kinda short arms and I'm sometimes happier with a "youth size" buttstock, and I can even have my preferences when it comes to the fore end/pump (some "police" or "tactical" models are harder for me to reach/rack than regular "field" ones).

If you think you'd do better with a shorter one, they're cheap enough.

If it comes to it they make adjustable stocks this is the model I got:

Sorry over half of these were taken with my phone, my camera got ALOT of water in it... don't ask...

Anyone know what would be a good tactical light and saddle for this thing?

Accumulator · 09-13-09, 09:59

devilsown- I run a SureFire light with a pressure switch, and a Tacstar sidesaddle, but mine's an old setup and there might be better stuff available today.

Nice GSDs you have there. Heh heh, looking at your bedrail pic, for some reason I can't help but think that one of 'em will get a paw snagged in your shotguns' sling some day...

its loaded but the pipei is empty I figured the nosie would be enough to scare someone off.

I also thought about removing the sling,

I rails on the bed are from wal-mart, all they are is a over the door robe holder. they work perfect.
