I have never owned a shotgun, but have owned plenty of other firearms, and being in the military, I have had the opportunity to shoot plenty of weapons that I will never have the opportunity to own personally. That being said, I ordered a Remington 870 Express Tactical last Wednesday from Bud's Gun Shop. Was playing around on their website yesterday (shotgun hadn't shipped yet) and changed my mind on the shotgun and ordered a Mossberg 500 (Mossberg 500SP 12g 18" 6SH CB PG TACT/54125 per the website). From what I have researched, it looks to be a Persuader/Cruiser with the pistol grip only. I am going to put a different stock on it (haven't decided on whether I want a full stock or a collapsible stock, but I definately want more than the pistol grip), and some sortof extra shell carrier, probably stock mounted, but possibly receiver mounted. I also want to change over to ghost ring sights with a fiber front site and put one of my surefire lights on it. And aside from a cheap sling that I will just grab from supply, that is about as far as I would like to go with it. Other than popping off as many rounds as I can as often as I can out at the range, the shotgun will be laying next to my bed and serve it's life solely as a middle of the night defensive gun. And as far as the range goes, I have just under 500 shells sitting at the house right now. A mixture of 00 buck, #7 1/2 birdshot and 1 oz slugs that got delivered yesterday standing ready to play their part in breaking the Mossberg in. Now that the introduction is over, I need some recommendations. If I go with the standard stock (which is what I'm leaning towards) what is the best option for carrying extra shells? Any particular brands to stay away from? Any particular styles to stay away from? I am going to be reading through this site, so I'm sure I will come across some information here and there, but I would like to order everything at once, seems to save on shipping a little bit. Until then, any information would be appreciated.
