I have an idea where I want to go and it should end up costing me around ~100 or so.
I was talking about the shotgun class you attended with Red Auerbach. I'm not sure which light yet either but it definitely will have one

That said, 870 or 590 is where I'd go. I'm partial to the 870 since I have two, one is the first one you linked to.

My problem with the bottom one is that a pistol grip on a Mossberg will fuck you up. The Mossberg safety is positioned so that you can manipulate the safety without breaking your firing grip. You cannot do that on a Mossberg with a pistol grip.

Also, if you're a lefty, that shell holder on the right side of the stock on the 3rd gun will fuck your shit up.
I knew spanky would come in with some knowledge on the subject, thanks for the info.

870 fo sho

i have to assume that first link is an 870 and it appears to have the extended mag well already, also going to assume it already has the 18" barrel if that picture is accurate

i like my 870, you can pick up a speedfeed pistol grip for about 70 bucks

00 buckshot

surefire makes a REALLY nice setup, you remove the pump hand and replace it with their setup, but its pricey ...

00 buckshot is the general census my co-workers told me to get.

those are some nice setups with the switch on the grip, but thats as much as the damm shotgun.:jawdrop:

Louis Awerbuck.

Yeah, it was interesting shooting plates behind paper targets and vice versa with a hand held light.
