Today I found myself at Lytle creek gun range out here in California. I just purchased a mossberg 500 persuader in 12 gauge. It is a black mean looking shotgun and that is honestly what attracted me to it in the first place. Took some bird shot, 00 Buck, 00Buck law enforcement reduced recoil, and some slugs of course
For starters my expectations were high given the appearance of the weapon and the reputation Mossberg 500's carry. First shell chambered was a Slug. Holy crap! Damn shotgun almost flew out of my arms haha! Next round a regular 00buck, same thing pretty powerful and did not feel good on my hand. 00buck reduced recoil was next and it felt a whole lot better. Bird shot actually was not bad either. Next time I think I will be leaning more toward the Reduced recoil rounds and the bird-shot. The shotgun for sure needs a stock, for a day at the range the jerk was so bad In a self defense situation I don't know if the barrel would be pointing at the intruder or my loved ones. Accuracy from hip fire was bad until about 20 rounds I found my sweet spot. I highly recommend cleaning/oiling the gun even if its fresh out of the box. Learned my lesson today. Overall I was happy with the mossberg the power was very nice and I know with the right stock and ammo I would be 100 percent happy with it.
Also shot a mossberg 715t 22lr tactical and a hipower 9mm. Mossberg was a fun little gun to shoot. hit a target 200 yards out and was impressed by its accuracy. Only con was that it felt like if I dropped it who knows if it would make it. The hipower 9mm was also nice for its 200 dollar price tag it did its job nothing special about it.
Seen some guns that caught my eye. The remington 700 was a real beauty. Made a real impression on me.
Anyway! Feeling wiped from all the shooting this morning. Hope my review helps someone. And if you have any recommendations please post. I am in the market for a nice stock.
