It's a little more expensive than other pump-action shotties but I can literally go from home defense(tactical grip with short barrel) to bird hunting (non-rifled, 20" barrel, normal butt stock) to deer hunting (rifled barrel) in about 3 minutes. Granted you can spend good money on barrels and accessories but for about $700 you have all the shotguns you ever need.
As far as Pump vs. semi auto... Pump because most people believe your best defense is racking a round in the chamber. That noise alone is as good or better than a barking dog. I keep mine in a safe next to my bed and never a round in the chamber. IF someone gets in my house before I know they are there, or before they know I'm here, I'm probably going with my 9mm anyways. I want the shotgun to keep em' out.
I keep defense rounds in my shotgun which have both buckshot and discs. I have shot them at paper and they stay pretty tight so I don't think there is a huge advantage to em'.
I really like that idea without me having to hunt down 3rd party components. DId the one you buy include everything? I did a little search and not seeing one that comes with ALL of the stuff.
I also like that Mossberg is still family owned.

Which one did you get? I didnt really want one with camo, it would be home defense and if i ever get into or invited hunting then being able to use it would be cool
