I wonder if clicking your bayonet in place scare bad guys as much as racking the slide?

I couldn't resist either.

It's so you dont have to bend over and pick up the rabbit you just shot with it.

Nice looking gun, but bet it's loud with that short ported barrel.

Have you had the chance to shoot it yet?

I'm confused, I understand the differences between special purpose shotguns for the various shotgun sports. Also, different features are desirable for upland, waterfowl, buck shot and slug shotguns: Unless as a collection (arsenal in lawyer talk), are these three guns enough different that you'd select one over the other two depending on the nature of the bump-in-the-night?

It's my understanding that HD/tackie guns, like these, have been widely distributed at very competitive prices. Consequently, they have little value as collectors.

Was sort of on the lookout for a HD shotgun. The first one I bought was the Rem 870...which is before I did any research on shotguns (impulse buy). Finding out that the 870 Tactical is closer to the Express than the Police, I wanted a little more heavy duty shotgun. I then bought the 18.5 inch Mosseberg 590DA1, which is a double action and was shorter than the 870. I then saw the Mossberg 590A1 SPX which has several good features at a good price, so picked it up.

I may have too many now, don't know if I'll sell one or not. I gotta find out which one I like best.

I didn't get them to collect, just kept running into others that I liked. The 590DA1 is sort of an oddity with the double action, they don't offer it anymore.

Thanks for the heads-up
"I didn't get them to collect, just kept running into others that I liked."
That I understand... there's a lot of that going around.

870 Express

I just put a 8 round mag extension on my 870 and am toying with further modifications. The 18" barrel JUST clears the extended tube. Maybe I'll get a night sight for it. Any suggestions?
