I might be tempted by a Browning or maybe an Ithica .

I lean towards the Mossberg 500 partly because it's what I trained on along with the Benelli M4 when I was a Marine, but also love the aftermarket for them and the safety I feel is placed perfectly for a rifle grip. I'm reluctantly selling my 500 right now because of my divorce, but I plan on picking up another one or maybe even a 590 when I dig myself out of my divorce pit.

I have a Norinco 97 riot model as well. Premium condition. That is a badass shotgun. Slam fires as fast as you can stand to do it and never jams. The only real downfall is the bolt. It will let you know really quickly if you move your hand too far forward while racking the slide. It’s a skin ripper.

No. 2. Hands down. The older 870’s are smooth. Please elaborate on the maintenance issues you and Chad are concerned about.
I'd buy all 3
I too love pump shotguns, I have Mossbergs and 870s, probably 12 or so, and want to buy another all the time....I say,... buy my brother, buy.....
Lol, I like you guys.
No effort to talk me out of making the buy.I like this look too. Of my small shotgun collection, the Wingmaster is easily the looker of the bunch. For this round, it looks like I'm going for a 870 PM purchase, and am settling for synthetic because the overall condition of the used gun looks very good.
Sorry to hear about the life tribulations and possible thinning of the firearm collection.
Lol, sounds like a lot of fun except for the bleeding part.
In his experience, he's noted when/if issues arise with either platform, the Mossberg is usually easier for the owner to service. He's otherwise spoken positively about the performance of both platforms.

That is a dangerous website
A while back I was cruising around on there and saw he had a listing for some Beretta 92M's. I called but they were all gone. I was so bummed, I've wanted one of those for a while.
I thought he was selling the business?
A 590 has all the goodness of a Mossberg 500, parkerizing, and a bayonet lug. Do you know how badass it looks to hang an M9 on the end of a shotgun? 
Just sayin'

He gets interesting stuff. He used to be tapped into a lot of refurbished Sigs and had some real deals. I usually take a look once a month there to see what's new in his used firearms.That is a dangerous website2:

2:Yeah, his comment about retiring is still at the bottom of his homepage. Do wonder if some of the magic will be lost, as part of his success likely has been developing relationships with different suppliers of trade-ins and refurbished guns.

I think your collection is in need of a Mossberg Shockwave. Lots of sales fliers from PSA with discounts.
At this point in my life, I'm just looking for the 590A1.

Fidelity, I had the same dilemma as you.
As I have a few 870's and am not a big fan of Mossbergs, I picked up a new Armscor RIA M5 for just a tick over $200. Although I have not had a chance to fire it as of yet and I am not able to report on function and reliability, I will say it has the slickest action of any pump action that I have ever seen.

Throw bread on me
I'm with you OP, I hit that 300-400 buck mark and I seem to have a hard time saying no.
I'll probably go for a 12-gauge coach gun at some point first (once had a 20-gauge Chinese made one that I sold), but recent pricing of the Shockwave is attractive.
Fidelity, I had the same dilemma as you.
I've considered this one in the past. I think JimBob2.0 has posted about it. Would be interested in hearing your review after a range session.
You and me brother. When a quality firearm seems to be available for a decent price AND I enjoy shooting that type of firearm, I'll read reviews and price research the item for months before I finally breakdown and order it. Sometimes I'll miss a good deal in the process.

Exactly the one that I'm referring to. His face contorted in unusual ways until he made a tactical retreat.
