Re: New here picked up a 500 today
Welcome from IL.
You'll have no problem with 3" shells cycling. For a HD setup i'm a big fan of the 2 3/4" rounds though.....the difference in recoil is noticeable, making follow-up shots easier if needed and at "inside the house" ranges you aren't gaining much of an advantage with the extra power. Just load it up and practice till you are familiar with the gun, then practice some more.

One more question in the paper work that came with the gun there is something about an adjustable trigger. I looked when I had the gun pulled apart and there was an Allen head screw in the back of the trigger group but there was a pin blocking it does anyone know where I can find more info on this

I think this is the biggest she'll ever get. The only thing I'm considering is a longer rifled barrel to hunt pig and deer. I'm not sure about the barrel after shooting some rifled slugs through it I think I might just get a little more shells through it and take it out just how it is

I think it's a well documented fact, Mossy, that if you stick a Mossberg 500 designated for home defense in the closet it starts to sprout all kinds of rails, grips, lights and lasers.....lol.

The 18.5" will work fine if money is an issue but if you don't mind spending a little bit more cash you can't beat the dedicated rifled slug barrel with the cantilevered scope mount for accuracy with slugs. It will give you a bit more reach than you would be able to get with the shorter barrel as well.

It's weird how they all start to look alike after a very short time. :roll:
I'm loving mine. I never used a reflex sight until recently and diggin' that to. I bore sighted the 500 a week or so ago and shredding pop cans at 50 yards without even thinking about it.
