Got my new Beretta 96 and Mossberg 500 pump today!!! :D

All I can say is WOW. I don't think much more needs to be said. If anyone has any questions about either weapon, OF COURSE email or post here!

I'm sure gonna sleep easier tonight!!!

And for all of you who told me to forget the pistol-grip on the 12, and get a full stock, you will be happy to know that it came with a full synthetic stock on it, but also with a pistol grip in the box.

Needless to say, I promptly took the stock off and put on the pistol grip! :p Aaaaahhhh....Much better!!! :D Load 'er up with some 00 Buck, and GOODNIGHT!

That 12 gauge in your hands gives you an awesome sense of power, doesn't it? ;)

I love my 12...he, he. :D
 
I saw where there were naysayers about the pistol grip and 12 ga. shells.

They must be weak wristed. 25-50 shells pistol grip is nowhere as rough as with a shoulder stock.

Heck of a feeling.

Is the 500 a 9 shot model?

I was mistaken. I have the model 88, which holds about 6 in the mag and one in the chamber.

I own a few Remington 870's and in different variations for field use and for home defense. I purchased a while back at a gun show the factory top folding stock for it marked "for law enforcement only". People told me not to fire it because it cuts up your face if you shoulder the weapon. Unconvinced, I tried firing a battery of 00 buck and 1 oz. slugs from the weapon in pistol grip tucked close to the body and pistol grip with stock extended to the shoulder. I found it easy to handle. I'm 6'1'' and 210 lbs. and maybe my size offset the recoil but never was I worried that the stock would give me discomfort firing from any position. My advice drjones is to really lean into the shot. Don't let the gun get away from you and avoid any hollywood style shooting positions since blanks don't kick like their real life counterpart. Pistol grip shooting works great close range but avoid trying to point like you would with a vent rib barrel. My advice, and what I'm using now, is to get a youth sized stock. Still small enough to be compact but large enough for traditional firing of the weapon. Hope this helps.
