Good pointers, thank you sir. My model actually does have bead sights as it is unmodified. I believe that the picture attached by Lalo was taken after he had switched out the sights on his Mossy.

I asked for other people's opinions because I wanted just that...opinions. I just don't come from a background of firearms and while I like my choice and would certainly not regret it, I would use the opinions of others to help inform future purchases or, if applicable, modifications. I bought this shotgun because I wanted it, but I was wondering if there were other options I should look at to suit my varied purposes. Edit: I will say thank you though because I do appreciate the feedback in the rest of your post. I just wanted to explain myself.

Looks good man! May I ask why you added the heat shield? Would that be a safer option if one intends to spend long day out shooting clays? Thank you all for the feedback, I appreciate it. Looking to add lights on it pretty soon and I'm ordering that bore snake asap.

Recently purchased an Mossy 500 with the 20in. barrel, extended mag tube (7rnds) and tactical tri-rail: http://www.mossberg.com/product/shotguns-pump-action-500-special-purpose-tactical-tri-rail/50575?u_field_prod_sight_type=Bead@221&u_field_prod_capacity=8@0&filterNodes=2562,2563&nodeRef=2562,2563&redirect=1&lastnode=1&filterNodes=2563 Is this a good choice for home defense? I have seen mixed opinions on 20in barrel as opposed to the normal 18.5 and I obviously missed out on the option to use it as a combo for HD and hunting (assuming I may have the opportunity someday). My initial reaction is that the extended barrel and extra weight would hurt use for HD and clays, but the tighter shot pattern and 2 extra rounds might be nice for target shooting. Obviously, we aren't talking a MASSIVE change from a 18.5 with 5rnd capacity (as opposed to the switch to a 28in barrel) but there's a difference. Just looking for opinions on this set-up for both HD and as a fun range(indoor/outdoor/clay) gun. Thoughts? Also, if you have any suggestions on affordable cleaning tools, please advise. Thanks guys

Moss 500 or Rem 870 ( choosing one of the most popular 12 gauges for parts/ammo consideration) glock 17 or 19 (same reasons) I'd be planning to hunker down and in/near an urban area where useful supplies may be found over time and go out at night for food/essentials.

A little uncalled for. We're all humans here. This event is really unfortunate and it's really disappointing that those school kids had to deal with this right before heading off for the summer.

The way that Daenerys and Jon Snow are portray is a little blah so I'd agree with that. But I can't help but think that maybe it does make sense. Daenerys is a young girl who has been told all her life that most of the known world rightfully belongs to her family. Then she was sold by her brother and had to watch her husband die along with delivering a still-born son. These things give me the idea that maybe her self-righteous behavior and annoying tone makes some sense. Also, I have a soft spot for Emilia Clarke. Jon Snow is definitely portrayed as a little over the top but I think that growing up as the forgotten child would have that effect on you in real life. Especially when your father was the Warden of the North. Trying to fill those shoes from the shadows would leave anyone with a complex and having them trying just a bit too hard. Just my 2 cents though my initial reaction was the same as yours friend.

I couldn't decide whether I prefer John Snow or Arya better. John is the only one that has truly embodied his father's teaching (honor and duty before everything, except family), but Arya is just bad ass all around. She's the youngest daughter and yet has used more cunning and, ruthlessness than any of the others. Tyrion is just a genius so he'd definitely be a strong number 3. The guy doesn't plan ahead a much as Varys or Littlefinger but he comes up with complex schemes in an instant and executes them. I completely agree about Sansa. It's easy to forget that she screwed her family over big time by turning on her father. I honestly just wanted her saved for her mother's sake. Catherine Stark and Tyrion seem to have drawn the shortest straws in the books/series. Well Eddard's straw was short too but that's only because someone cut the top off...

+ 1 So would it be unacceptable to have a gun on a high riding belt holster while driving? Not saying, that would be convenient or advised. Just curious. The wording of the law seems very odd to not specifically exclude that. As to the visual deterrent, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

Hello all, I've read that residents of Delaware do not need a permit to carry. However, what are the laws regarding NJ FID-holders. I was planning on taking a trip there over the weekend and just wanted to know if I could stop at the range or carry while I'm there. New to the game so any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If you are a huge Cowboy Bebop fan (nice avatar btw) get the Jericho. You'll love it that much more just because of the sentimental value. I really like the Beretta too and the Inox model is one of the sexiest handguns ever, but I don't have much experience with the Hi-Power. I should also qualify this by saying that the BE is a great gun also. I wouldn't say have a sentimental weapon is worth it unless you're a hardcore collector. But even if I was a collector, I would still want every gun to be as functional as it is "cool".
