I’m going to get a 14" shotty pump. I am leaning towards an 870P 14"… but the wait will be 2-3 months!! I can get a used, like new (on GB) Mossberg 590 14" and have it in hand in 3-4 weeks! WWYD?
870 will be $150-200 more too… but hey, its an 870 Police!
It’s the ol’ Remmy VS Mossy debate again.
Remington, patience is a virtue.
i would go with th remmy, been using them since i’m 18. on another note just tested the 590 sbs we put 3000 rds thru over a couple weeks with no issues.
Either will do, just depends on preferances.
See if you can find one of the Remington USSS guns - factory 14" 870P with tritium ghost ring sights (that are OK but not great quality), quality 1 round extension and speedfeed stock. There were a bunch of them on the market last year for $500-$600.
Remington.
I’ve always like Remmy’s… they now have a 14" with low profile rifle sights. I think that might be the one I’ll try… that or a bead?
Use would be FUN and HD. I’m not an LEO or anything exciting… just a grumpy old fart, well, not that old so just Grumpy! 
Just when I thought I knew…
I AM going to go for a Remmy… but… today i found a couple 14" Mossy’s for $350, NEW???
Anyone heard of a model 50685? I can’t locate anything about this model!
The price seems great though!
Go with the 870. I have had both and they both function great. The Mossburg has an issue with a bolt backing out and binding the gun up. IMHO the 870 is a better gun.
I was thinkin I could get the Mossy for playin with while waiting 3 or 4 or 6, 8 , 9 months for the Rem. and then sell off the cheaper one to some wanting person who didn’t wanna pay for the Remmy.
Mossberg has some SKU’s that are special for large distributors such as the ones in TALO. That SKU fits in to the standard 590, not 590A1, line. The “standard” NFA 590A1 SKU’s start with 51 or 52 or 53 and end in the 68_ (no 5s listed) range depending on the model. That price is preety low, but not impossible if it was some sort of special built on a regular 590 reciever.
Why not just use the money for ammo and shoot the hell out of the M4 Entry Model you just got at some training schools?
But, if you have the disposable income, get a Remington 870P Tactical. The new one with the low profile XS sight set up.
I need to get one of those barrels and put it on my work shotgun.
I sold the M4… the LOP was just too long. I have a tele-stock version on order but its gonna be a long wait!
So… I always wanted an 870 shorty… but now these mossy’s showed up too cheap to pass on probably.
I’ve come to the conclusion they’re both great guns. One thing that was pointed out by one of my buddy’s who carried one across seas is that the 870 seems to have a bit weaker ejection than most pump brands. He demonstrated his point lightly with weak cycling and he was right, with the 870 requiring more force to clear the ejection port than the Mossberg, Browning, or Winchester. Based on his point, I could see how it could be an issue with mud or dirt if you aren’t putting some effort into it.
I’d still go with an 870PM myself though. Police Mags are a lot more beefy than most any other “tactical” shotgun. Maybe I’m biased though.
I can run a 870 better than Mossbergs and Winchesters, but then again Ive never had formal training on those platforms either. Ironically, I dont own a 870, yet.
I will end up getting an 870 shorty too… but I grabbed all they had left of these… too cheap to pass up!!!
3 or 4 weeks… YES!!
Remmy 870:D
Oh so sweeeet! I just scored one of those this morning!! What brand of +1 is that? It looks great!
Remington over the Mossberg. If it’s a Mossberg, insist on a 590A1.
I’d wait for the Remington.
