A Mossberg 590A1 (18.5" barrel, 00 buck, slugs riding in the side saddle, white light) holds down my fort.

Not all 870s are equal, you have a good one. Wingmasters and police models are a step above the Express models which I stay away from.
The thing about 00 is it is all over the place.
When doing my non-definitive study on ballistics, I wasn't overly impressed with 00 Buck as was written about it. It's still a viable load...but there are better.
#4 is usually what I have loaded.
I have heard this. But why? As near as I can tell, mine is identical to a police magnum, with heavy springs and milled receiver, as well as all of the police internals, with the exception of a jlock safety/trigger that I replaced.Yep, stay away from the Express model.
Give me an A5...I don't know... I'm a big fan of Model 12s.
Solid choice!Give me an A5...
Can't go wrong with a solid pump shotgun tho.

New ones have plastic trigger controls and guard. Aren't quite as rock solid as the all metal ones.
Mine functions flawlessly none the less.
I'm buying a single shot tonight even though I own many shotguns (some are heirlooms). My wife asks me WTF I need another shotgun for...
I replied, "Cuz I don't have one like the one I'm buying".
I have a fetish with shotguns. They are generally cheap for the quality you get and are so useful for almost everything.
Plus shooting them always makes me grin.
Good to know.The Remington 870 Express has a plastic trigger group and magazine retention system. There is even some internal metal injection molded parts in the Express, such as the extractor part.
The Police and Wingmaster weapon's extractor is milled and it contains no MIM parts whatsoever.
The Police and Wingmaster get the most thorough inspection that you can imagine. Everything from the internal parts to the finishing of the weapon is inspected.
Ya'll can easily tell from my forum name that shot guns are not my primary source of firearms delight.
Sounds like you have a whole new world of shooting opening up for you Pops1911...
