Looking to buy a shotgun

And God are the “Remington 870 vs th mossberg 500/590” videos annoying.

I would just get the rem 870. Solid fucking piece

Maverick 88, Mossberg 590, or a Police trade in 870. Most modern Rem 870s got qual control issues from my understanding, so a 80s police trade in would be a good find. Usually cheap too.

Don’t do a modern 870, you want your gun to work and a modern 870 will barely work. If you need dirt cheap and flexible, source a 50′s to 60′s 870 with a long barrel and simply swap it out for a normal 18-20 inch one. I don’t know why, but every gun shop around me has a long barreled 50′s Wingmaster for half of a new one’s price. If that doesn’t work, go for the 500/590 or scout the used racks for something like an old Hi-Standard made Sears and Roebuck shotgun.

And if you’re having trouble sourcing, get the H&R Pardner Pump Security model.  It’s about $200, and that’s at big box store prices.  Essentially a Chinese copy of the 870.  It’s a little heavier, a little uglier, with an ugly finish that, unlike Remington’s new production, actually lasts.  And dirt fucking cheap, so you can count the extra hundred bucks or so you saved while someone bitches.
