New Mossy's.

And sights...if one is trying to turn it into a rifle, well, take a rifle. A shotgun should be sleek and naturally pointing for reactive shooting. Sights and side saddles that throw the balance off...I will never be sporting a shotgun festooned with all that extra gear.

While I am not interested in these new Mossbergs, your perception of what a SD shotgun should be is well, different than mine. Shotguns have rails these days. And plenty of cross eye dominant folks are damn happy they do.

As for the flip ups, in my experience, those are only for when optics go down regardless of platform.

There may be locations/areas were rifle ownership/use is restricted, whereas shotgun's aren't.

And the use of slugs gives one more self-defense range than shot/buckshot.

The bottom line is folks should have options to choose what the industry offers.

And Mossberg still offers their traditional 500/590 lines.

Agreed. Variety is the lifeblood of the shooting sports industry. What works for me is not always what works for the other guy.
