The mossberg I handled long ago was a maverick 88 and it felt like I could shake it apart and the machining didn’t look up to par to Remington. It was very loose and looked like you spray painted the finish on it. That being said it was a 120$ shotgun. I’ve never handled a 500. It always seemed to me the Remington was heavier duty built. I know our military uses both Remington and mossberg as well as many LEO agencies so there’s something to be said. Maybe I’ll give the shockwave a try. I’m all for giving something a chance. If I end up not liking it I’m sure I can resell it quickly. The safety location will be a learning curve as I am used to the button safety behind the trigger guard on the Remington.

I am really considering picking up a mossberg shockwave. My LGS usually sells them between 3-350 depending if they are running a sale. I have never owned a mossberg gun of any kind. I know there are people who swear by them. Normally I wouldn’t even consider buying a mossberg because I grew up on Remington shotguns. But Remington is not the same as it used to be. I was looking at my 870 compared to a new one the other day and I was very dissaponted in the quality of the new one. Every mossberg I’ve handled felt cheap and didn’t seem like it was well made either. But that being said I havnt picked up a mossberg in about 10 years. If they are good guns and I’m missing out please inform me!
