I personally like the mossberg 500 over the 870 as a HD weapon..I love the tang mounted safety of the 500..Now if you wanted a smooth as silk pump gun for hunting I would say a 870 wingmaster...I have previously owned a 30in barreled wingmaster,currently own 24in rifled barreled 500 and a 24in turkey barreled Mossberg 835...The 835 is my HD shotgun as well as my field gun for anything other then slugs.Its just a tough an heavy shotgun that does work...It will pattern pretty dang good with everything I have tried.....If you trigger group safety is fine for you...I would consider the Maverick or NEF pardner HD models as well..
