yeah, I got one of those mossberg's in 12 gauge a long time ago at a Wal Mart for like $150. I bought the short barrel and pistol grip kit for it later at a gun show. It's a pretty 'raw' shotgun in that you get all the kick - nothing absorbs it - like a fist full of fire
It holds, what, five shells, so you get to make that neat sliding racking sound to load the round. Fun to shoot.
