All of the models within the Mossberg 500 line, are still very much the same in appearance as the original gun that debuted in 1961. The evolution of Mossberg shotguns has helped make some internal improvements that have increased its cycling integrity. Originally operated with one action bar, by 1970 this had been modified to a twin action bar that eliminated the possibility of binding.

Here is the truth about a shotgun for home defense. It’s exactly what you need! For starters, there is absolutely no substitute for the sound of a pump shotguns slide being racked, to instill fear into everyone who hears it. That sound basically screams, “YOU’RE ABOUT TO BE THE GUEST OF HONOR AT A FUNERAL……...YOURS!! With the right ammo, the blast will not overpenetrate a sheetrock wall and kill innocent bystanders. There is virtually no such thing as a “flesh wound” from a close range shotgun blast, so if they escape, they’ll be easy to track down and take to a hospital (or finish off). I use 3” magnums in mine, and the name of the round that I use is, “The Kitchen Sink”. It has over 30 odd shaped lead objects that tumble and tear at 1600 fps. If you’re looking for something that is absolutely, deadly, demoralizing, and devastating, get a pump gun……….buy a Mossberg 590.
