Well I had to sell my Mossberg 500 about 5 months back cause was having some health issues & needed the money, well I have been getting back on my feet & want another shotty, I would love to have a Mossberg 591A1 Talo GI version but my budget cannot handle the 500+ dollar price tag on that shotty. So I have been think about pulling the trigger on a Maverick 88, I can get the High capacity version at my local shop for about 260.00+ out the door. So I guess my ? is, are they good buy, I miss my 500 but it only held 5+1, I do like the top safety on the 500/590 but the trigger safety doesn't bother me since most of the shotguns I have owned in the past where Remington 870. If I got one of the 88 I was think about the adjustable butt stock pistol grip option since it has the trigger safety. So let me know how you all feel about your 88, I have read some of the comments above but like fresh feedback. Thanks, I might be picking this up in less than 2 wks.
