My first was a Sears & Roebuck (Mossberg) When that got stolen I got an 870. Then when I got married I got my wife an 870, then when I wanted more capacity for 3 gun/home defense I got an 870. When I was working for the DOC they trained us on the 870...notice a trend?

Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with the mossy, in fact I loved it too, and if my second gun had been a mossy I'd probably have a pile of them. I just stuck with the 870 because it's what I got used to and could run in my sleep.
