    I have a mossberg 500, i like it alot for having interchangeable barrels. Whatever you get, you should have the ability to mount a light on it - cant shoot what you do not see.

    Not everyone would have a need for a weapon mounted light. I have plenty of low-level lighting in my home, so a weapon mounted light would just be rather useless.

    I decided to go with a pair of Winchester sxp defender models. They're a good hundred bucks over the cost of the Maverick's but they have dried up everywhere. The sxp is a Turkish produced gun that features 4 locking lugs and a recoil assisted pump system which is very fast from what I have researched.

    I'll know a lot more about them in the next couple of weeks after they arrive. I was pleasantly surprised with an sx4 I recently purchased so decided to go all in on the Winchester's. There is still a good chance that I'll pick up a 590 retro when they come back around but for now these will fill the niche.

    I have had mine for a good number of years now. I am not in the least disappointed that I bought it. Get some shells through it, clean and oil it a few times and it smooths up real nice.

    While I haven't experienced a failure using Opsol adapter and mini shells, I've heard they are prone to problems. In a home defense situation I don't want to take the risk.
    Over 500 mini shells through my Shockwave with zero failures. ;) I am comfortable
