So I'm addicted to buying firearms...not so much carrying them or shooting them (though I enjoy both) the shopping addiction - collecting part is out of control with me. At least a dozen purchases in the last two years. I do love it so!
Was out on the Navajo reservation last week and bought a Colt Commander 1911 from a small shop there. In the process of shopping the owner showed me the Mossberg 590A1...think it was $599 with less sales tax on the rez. Had a ghost site, 9 rounds, speed load stock. My first response handling it was "This is HUGE...I don't need one of these." And that's an accurate assessment. I live in a 4 plex apartment and already have a Taurus Public Defender with five .410 nasty rounds for home defense. The shotgun is unwieldy for apartment defense. I don't need it. But dang...I sure do "want" it....bad....real bad. I'm 68 years olde....don't hunt...don't skeet...but it sure feels nice when I think about having the shotgun "handy." just in case. Or else its that addiction to buying guns. Already have a very old 16 gauge single shot Iver Johnson...
I know I'm probably gonna buy it next time I'm out that way again...and I know I'm gonna bring it home and look at it and say, "Why'd I do that?" and feel some guilt and shame about not being able to "not buy" a gun I like. But I trust it'll be a comfort sitting somewhere handy in my bedroom - just in case. I may be an olde guy but I don't think it matters who's holding a shotgun on you - it commands instant respect.
Everything I've read about it says it works great - no problems.
