We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Those mini's look interesting, although I don't think I'd use those for self defense loads:
"MOSSBERGS 500/590s will cycle Minishells pretty well once the shooter acquires a "feeling" as to how to pump the action; however, this will not prevent the occasional jam. "
The occasional jam is unacceptable to me... the 500 is chambered in 3" 12 ga., by using 2 3/4" 12 ga., I can load 5 in the tube one in the chamber. I figure with 6 rnds total, if I can't hit my target, I might as well give them my firearm.

I had at 20" 870 4+1 and went out and got the tactical 870 6+1 with 18" barrel.
Shortly after that I saw mag extensions were available for 7+1 and 8+1 for about $70.
I had my local gunsmith file down the "dimples" inside my 870 mag tube and added the 3 extension for 7+1. Turns out I probably could have gone with the 8+1 extension because of the length of my barrel but didn't want to take the chance that the mag tube would extend beyond the barrel.
So if I knew about the mag extension first I probably wouldn't have paid the $300 for the 870 tactical (including shipping and transfer).
