My 500a

Nice shooter!

56 rounds, quick to grab and go, doesn't add weight / bulk to the gun impairing your ability to use it like side saddles do, comfortable to carry (as much so as any 56 rounds of 12ga. can be ), excellent quality, and under $20 delivered!

Hi Seneca, the 590 is a nice scatter gun indeed, it is a bit longer which gives you one more shell than the 500. Being on a budget, the 500 suites me fine. I'm open to any advise on mods, probably won't change much but I would like to add sights or maybe even a red dot optic or something. Any ideas? Thanks,Mike

Mossberg 500 was my first gun as a kid. I put THOUSANDS of rounds through that thing and it never hiccuped once ever. Unless your interested in adding features like a light, different sights, stocks and such just to fit your needs better. I personally don't think they can be improved on!

I say that as someone who no longer owns a Mossberg at all (because I gave mine to a good friend who needed it more than me), and as someone who DOES own a Remington 870 that I've added all kinds of modifications to (most to address known reliability issues). So I think my opinions pretty unbiased.

I WILL say the 870 trigger is MILES better. But not in any way that makes it more reliable.
