I bought a new 870 but /k/ told me it's shit so you better buy the 590A1 and join the cool kid club.

>>34750805
drumpf posting is against the rules

>>34750805
590A1, buy a bayonet for tactical shanking.

Go to either one. I don't care. Just don't shit up this board with bait.

>>34751096
Much unlike the traitor in the White House. Thank you for being patriotic unlike that cuck.

>>34750805
If you're left handed, Mossberg.

>t. Southpaw shooter

>>34751109
Not a concern. Nobody in my house is a lefty either. The tang safety isn't a huge selling point for me since I already have a 10/22 with a cross bolt safety.

Semi auto handgun or AR-15

>>34751139
Already have a semi auto handgun. Need muh stopping power. Don't like ARs except for A2s and I'm not spending $900 on one over a $400ish shotgun.

Just get which ever one is cheaper, they both do the exact same shit, and both have tons of aftermarket parts you can buy.

You can get an 870 with a ghost ring like the 590A1, it just won't look as tacticool.

>>34750805

590A1 if you don't want to deal with the loading gate pinching your fat fingers.

>>34750805
For home defense:

>Mossberg 590A1

For the already included ghost rings, extension tube and a 4 shot speedfeed stock.

Really though they are both fine, you could even get one of the cheaper clones and be good to go.

>>34751169

is this something for fun or actually being used for home defense?

>>34751203
I can get the 870 for $118 less. I'm just checking to see if there's any compelling reason to go with the 590A1. Something like quality control, typical issues, etc.

>>34751321
Well I'm not expecting somebody to try to break into my house anytime soon but it'll be primarily for home defense and maybe for hunting hogs.

>>34751344
>Something like quality control, typical issues, etc.

some homo was whining about cracked 870 receivers but research found fuck all about it

as far as I know the only bad rep the 870 has is the ejector is a piece of shit to replace if it ever breaks for whatever reason

>>34751359

An Ar-15 or AK clone is going to be better for home defense in just about every way

>shorter
>higher capacity
>quicker follow up shots
>lower recoil
>faster reload
>no chance of short stroking the action

you can find both for 5-600

>>34751407
>follow up shots

you don't need follow up shots with a 12 gauge

>>34751388
I'm wondering now if the 870 Model 25077 has a polymer trigger group... if it does, that's why it's so much less.

>>34751412
bait

>>34751344
Yes, read about post-cerberus remington
Also your comparison is fucked in every way, the express tactical 870s are like the cheapshit maverick 88
Mossberg 590a1 is closer to the 870 police magnum so that's what you should be choosing between

>>34751412

this isnt the movies, you are going to be fucked up on adrenaline and buckshot spread isnt much at all up close, not to mention if you have multiple targets

>>34751432
>trigger group
trigger guard

you can just buy a metal one later if it bothers you

>>34751407
I had a WASR 10, didn't care for it and sold it to a friend. Don't like any AR outside of a $900 A2. I'm also intrigued by the versatility of a shotgun and have never even held one. I've shot ARs and AKs.

>>34751444
This is why I came to /k/. I don't know shit about shotguns.

>>34751468

>Don't like any AR outside of a $900 A2

why? aesthetics? If this is for home defense its a tool and the best tool for the job should be what you go with

>versatility

again why, if its main purpose is to stop a threat

>>34751450
>this isnt the movies

says the guy who thinks he's going to be blasting 30 rounds or more in his house

>>34751509
Because I'm a poorfag and don't want to buy just the optimal home defense gun. I want it to double as something I like to shoot at the range or can hunt with.

>>34751527

Both 7.62x39 and 223 ammo is much much cheaper than 12 gauge and you can shoot it all day long also both will fuck hogs up, but okay

>>34751555
I'd rather get a clean kill. Those rounds were meant to maim an enemy soldier and have others remove him from the battlefield. A 12 gauge slug will put anything down in North America.

>Those rounds were meant to maim an enemy soldier and have others remove him from the battlefield.

>>34751635
Obviously it'd kill an intruder, and I'm not a fudd, so I'm obviously judging the round purely on how effective it is on game.

>>34751608
>OK finally we have designed a battle-ready cartridge
>Now the finishing touch, let's dial back the effectiveness just for the lulz

>>34751714

>so I'm obviously judging the round purely on how effective it is on game.

>accepting the /leftypol/ meme.

I mean, seriously. Fuck liberals. Fuck everything that they try to do. Fuck them up their stupid asses. Fuck anyone who defends them.

But fuck you for giving ANY fuel to /pol/

They've been at this shit for years. Don't give them another weeks worth of validation.

>>34751714
>29 followup shots of 5.56
>vs a couple followup slugs, if you can pump fast enough
Wow so effective

>>34751776
>needing the follow-up shots because 5.56 is babby boolet for tiny babbies

that slug will kill a guy dead before he hits the ground and put 1-2 more in the hospital for weeks

Are you slow? You're not going to shoot a hog 30 times and still eat it. You're not tracking the conversation.

5.56 expansion is far scarier than "dead end of 19th century tech" slugs

>>34751948
>1300 ft lbs of energy is "scarier" than 3000 ft lbs
>unironically believes that a full metal jacket or aerodynamically stabilizing hollow point will expand faster and confer more energy to the target than a soft lead projectile
Is this what bait tastes like ?

>5.56 expansion is far scarier than "dead end of 19th century tech" slugs
Be an AR fanboy all you want but come the fuck on

>>34751388
>cracked 870 receivers
Unlikely, seeing as the 870 receiver is forged steel while the Mossberg's are all some extruded mystery alloy - not even 7075

>>34751444
>Mossberg 590a1 is closer to the 870 police magnum
Not even a 590A1 is really comparable in build quality to a Police Magnum or Wingmaster

>>34752001
It seems that everyone has forgotten, along with the golden rule of not feeding the trolls.
