Hi All,
New guy here. I am from SC PA. I am LE. I bought a Mossberg Shotgun (500) back in '78 when I turned 18. Sold it. (Fast Forward)
My PD's had Remingtons and Mossbergs. I always liked the feel and weight of the Mossbergs. (Fast Forward)
Recently I bought two Mossbergs on my own since we went to AR15's in the cars/trucks. I have a LE 590 w/ GS, parkerized, 5 shot, heavy barrel (LE Purchase) and I picked up a real nice Cruiser Model 500- 20", 8 Shot. I just ordered a Hogue 12 LOP stock and plan on putting a Limbsaver recoil pad on the 500- hopefully it will work out (if it does, will do the same to the 590).
I had a Winchester 1300 with the Knoxx stock on it. I liked the reduced felt recoil, but sight picture/sighting was bad and I had a few instances of cheek slap. Never really warmed up to that 1300- trigger finger slapped into the trigger guard too many times! SOLD IT!
I am hoping I can come up with a good solution to reducing the felt recoil on my tired, aching, many patrol miles/fight worn, 50 yr. old body. Thanks all, I look forward to many Forum chats.

We trained in the usual stance.-Shotgun tucked into shoulder, stand sideways (left side) to target, left leg forward. In my younger years I was very good with the shotgun. I was always a "TOP GUN" Somewhere around 1996 we did away with shotguns and went to Patrol Rifles (go drool- I had a MP5 for years, then a Colt M4). In 2003 the PD ordered Benelli Semi Shotguns with pistol grips and GS (can't remember model). I took a Early retirement in 2006 at 45. DID IT AGAIN!!! Now in Gettysburg Area. We issue Mossberg Shotguns and Patrol Rifles (Thanks to me!!!! :mrgreen: ). Now as a 90% desk jockey, 50 yrs. old and much abuse to my body in Patrol for 24 yrs. the shotguns are getting a little uncomfortable to shot. As much as I like them, believe in them, and trust them- I need to reduce the recoil some(Yes we have the reduced recoil loads)- Hence my post in the Mossy 500 thread, I am a little concerned with how my Limbsaver slip on pad fits on the Hogue 12"LOP. It seems to move or shift on presentations. I sooooo wanted this to work out!!! I had a bad experience with the Blackhawk Knoxx stock on a Winchester 1300- Never really liked that Shotgun- It was a slug gun. Accuracy with the Knoxx stock on a slug gun was bad and cheek slap. Soooo still looking at options- New ATI scorpion stock????? Screw on Limbsaver on Hogue 12" LOP???? Inquiring minds need to know- Hehehe
