    Well, I got that going for me...which is nice.

    I really wish I knew more about mounting options and the Holosuns. I think it was a 507 - optic was red and had multi-mode reticle.

    I know it used a RMR-style mount, so an RMR-to-pic rail adaptor might work for you if you have the pic rail on the top?
    (Hoping someone else chimes in here... I've just used the factory ghost ring sight on my personal shotgun.)

    The 507/508 will work on any RMR mount, like the CROM, which is how I have mine in the Pic... 507 on the CROM. This is also the same setup you see in that video... 507 on a CROM.
    Any picatinny mount will almost assuredly require the comb riser on the SGA and will probably look like ass while also blocking out the irons.

    I once saw somebody "disarmed" by a shotgun. That was different.

    I don't want to turn this into a Garand Thumb bashing thread (more than it already is) but how does one "avoid deploying" if you are a member of the Air Force Special Operations community?

    I was not a Special person, but when I was on active duty my phone rang once and I was asked "Hey do you want to volunteer for a TDY deployment to Central America?" My answer was "Not really, chief." Two hours later the phone rang again. "Hey, come get your TDY orders for your Central America deployment. You're leaving day after tomorrow for the training cycle."

    This thread speaks to me, and tells me "get a good shotgun, idiot!"

    Grandma's old break Sears 20ga is nice for nostalgia value, but Imma thinking a Mossy 500 with extended tube & optic may be the better way to go.

    They really are a tremendous value for the money.

    I've found that I don't prefer the extended tubes. I like the way 5-shot tube guns handle better, but I would never tell somebody they were wrong for having the longer tube.

    Besides Wilson Combat and VangComp, any other outfits that install sights/rails on 870 guns?

    Would love a 1301 as well.

    There's really only two paths that make sense for me personally right now:

    1) Just keep the 500 I already have and rock it.

    2) Drop the coin on a 1301.

    Nothing in between makes sense.

    Right now I'm happy enough with the 500, but if I sell enough books, I'll buy a 1301.
