Mossberg 500

Mossberg 500 is one of the most common shotguns, and one of the few designs in the market that have defied age. The slide release plus the safety controls featured in the Mossberg makes it just impossible to cause any accidental discharge when your finger slips onto the trigger.

Mossberg 500 gun's lightweight nature makes it a darling to many hunters. It only weighs seven and a half pounds. The firearm is built in polymer furniture, which is incredibly light in nature. Its receiver is an alloy while else is a .5-round magazine gun making its total weight a big contrast to its power. However, since the breaching barrel is naturally short, you should expect that there are evident slug loads or probably heavy buckshot.

Naturally, the balance the Mossberg 500 gun creates through its heavy barrel neutralizes much of the recoil force. However, its lightweight nature means that you should be prepared to handle greater recoils. As a precaution measure, it is important that if you are a novice shooter, you should train under someone’s watch otherwise you might end up hurting yourself. Novice gun users are therefore advised to observe great caution while handling this weapon.

The Mossberg 500 comes equipped with a type of trigger known as the LPA. The main idea behind this trigger that took after the Savage Accu-Trigger is a skeletonized trigger inside the shotgun whose main purpose is to let go the sear and thus fire the gun. This makes the Mossberg 500 one of the easiest shotguns to fire and although it is quite different from all other shotguns in the market, being accustomed to this lightweight, incredible trigger pull and short gun is very easy. Although the trigger seems too good to be reliable, tests show that a whole week of continuous use of the trigger does not bring any harm to its way, or maybe result to jamming. It is intriguing just how well such a trigger manages to keep up its performance.

When you consider checking on a gun’s finish before buying one, then the Mossberg 500 does not disappoint on what it offers buyers. Mossberg 500 is a utility-grade firearm that bears neither rattle nor shake and has one of the finest metal finishes in the industry. Unlike most shotguns that have anodized or a thin blue, the Mossberg 500 boasts of a deep phosphate black.

When buying a gun, nothing matters more that its power and reliability. It makes sense to be afraid of a gun malfunctioning while you are all set to take down a big prey. The manufacturers of Mossberg 500 had this on mind when building the shotgun. No matter how many rounds you fire, the accuracy or reliability of the gun lies square on the dexterity of the shooter. The gun itself maintains such high performance through days and night. However, if you keep your shotgun with bullets almost filling the casing, then you expect to note some problems in its performance, after five years though.

The Mossberg 500 is a pump-action shotgun that bears twin action bars. It has a 12-gauge caliber that is designed to fire 2.75” and 3” shells from its tubular under barrel magazine with round capacity of 5+1.
