Sorry, I have neglected coming back to this one in a while. So a ton of great view points, but here is where I am at. I haven't fully decided on the 870 v 500 debate yet, but I do like the idea of buying a combo, with a longer barrel for shooting clays, and potentially an occasional waterfowl hunt (if my buddy is kind enough to take me), and a shorter barrel for HD.
I would likely keep the HD barrel on until I needed to go shoot clays or hunt. It just seems a little impractical to swing around a corner from cover in a HD situation, to shoot with a 28" barrel.
My budget for this one is definitely $500 or less.
