Home Defense Shotgun

[DarrellM5]

I'm thinking about getting one of the Mossberg 590-A1 shotguns from Vang Comp Systems. I'd also like to add the Standoff Device. I think their modifications to the barrel are great.

I have a Mossberg 500. Its an 18.5" 20gauge with a pistol grip. Its my wife's home defense weapon of choice. Not having a buttstock, it's extremely short and manuverable. I can pull the receiver right up against my shoulder, although I don't think I'd want to do that with a 12.

I gave my son a Mossberg 500 in 12 gage years ago when he was about 16 or 17. It had the Long barrel and the 18 inch one that you could change out. Regularly stock and a pistol grip. One day he was shooting it with the pistol grip on it and decided to try and hold it up to see if he could use the sites that way. He came close to messing up several hundred dollars worth of dental work.

That's nice...I like the folding stock. How easy is it to lock/unlock in a hurry?
