Hey all,
Been a long while since I've posted on here.
I'm looking at picking up my first and probably only shotgun for HD. I'm looking at a Mossberg 590A1 (for now it feels the best in my hands). One question I had was 6 shot (5+1) or 9 shot (8+1)? Everything I read is people saying go with the 6 shot (18.5 inch barrel) because it's easier to maneuver\lighter\etc. but I see ALOT of peoples setups with the 9 shot (20 inch barrel).
The only shotty I have shot (get it!) was a 6 shot.
I don't plan to hunt with it.
Soo...what are your thoughts? I have a good sized home I guess, not alot of tight corners/hallways. I can't imagine using 5 rounds against a home invader but what do I know . If I run out it's to the Glock I go!
Is the 9 shot alot heavier? Nose heavier? Less recoil in the 9?
Looking to hear from those who know.
Also is a light a necessity? Seems harder to mount on the 20 inch so that may sway my choice.
Or if you have a better recommendation let me know!
Thanks!
