Mossberg 500 Tactical Persuader

[RockUrGlock]

So I am not a big shotgun person, but thought I should get one for patrol. My camera is outa batteries so I found a pic of her online. They look identical, breaching barrel and all. What do you guys think of it? Good? Bad? all comments are welcome. From what I know its decent but is it Patrol decent?

I had one for HD and i really enjoyed it man. No problems at all.

 

[Buckles]

looks good. but you will regret that stock after a few shots. its ok with bird shot, but buck and slugs will leave your shoulder numb.

I was actually gonna put a recoil reduction shock in it...

Bellshireguns on Gun Broker has been selling these at a reasonable price.

Right now my 500 is my favorite gun. Ive put almost 700 rounds trough mine without any problems(that weren't my fault). You will want to change that stock out for a standard one though. Manipulating the safety is a pain and its just plane awkward to use the slide release.

 

[RockUrGlock]

yea, I noticed that the safety was in one of the most horrible places. Might as well have put it at the end of the barrel

It's a pump, leave the safety off.

+100 No need for a safety on this particular model in most situations.

It's a pump, leave the safety off.

yea, thats what I have been doing. I just thought it was retarded to put it there in the first place

It's the perfect spot if you don't use a pistol grip :X

+1 with a standard stock i find all the controls to be in perfect places and very easy to manipulate. I leave the safety off but I use the side release alot since I didnt keep one in the chamber before.

 

[RockUrGlock]

yea, I'm a fan of the pistol grip. I just feel like I have more control (even if others disagree lol)

 

[Jeff-Tex]

Pistol grip is great as long as you have a shoulder stock to back it up. Just a pistol grip alone is a thumb web killer. I think that's a great gun. I really like the breacher tip. Now you need a heat shield to finish it off.

 

[RockUrGlock]

yea, I think my department is also gonna get me a red dot to go with it. Hopefully hopefully hopefully....

I own the pistol grip version of this same shotgun. It will absolutely punish your wrist, even with the nylon pump strap and reduced recoil loads. I got mine for HD but it will bite back if I ever need to use it. I think you're going the right direction with the adjustable stock model. I give credit to the manufacturer on naming this one the "Persuader", very appropriate for it's look.

 

[RockUrGlock]

lol yea agreed. And thats what I need, I need to persuade the bastard to put his hands behind his back & wait to be cuff'd lol

 

[chubbyzook]

i got the same stock, and it aint as bad as others say you will get used to it

they don't issue shotguns for patrol?
