I'm sensing a growing trend toward consumer confusion and some criticism over many of the recent products being offered in the Mossberg catalog of firearms.
Some traditional rifle and shotgun folks are taken aback when they see "Tactical this, and breacher that, and muzzle brakes and picatinny rails, and AR-15 buttstock shotguns" because these features have been largely unproven in the real world.
Yet some gun buyers are saying "Hell, Yeah MOSSBERG!" that is some really cool stuff on which to spend our money!
Let's face it. Remington has been adding product lines which are made in Turkey and Russia in order to expand their lineup and keep retail pricing down. Winchester has greatly scaled back their long gun catalog. Ruger still makes their guns in the USA and adds a Scout Rifle and piston AR-15 and some new pistols like the LCP, LCR, SR9, Charger, SR1911 and others but are basically remaining a conventional gun manufacturer.
But as I am seeing it, NOBODY else is really pulling out the stops when it comes to shock value in their catalog like Mossberg has done. So VOTE your thoughts.
