I got my Mossberg M-500 Persuader at the local Big 5 sporting goods store. What erks me is that the local PD showed up at my doorstep that night as it seems that the person who was behind the counter that day decided she wanted to be fired. While the people working there are idiots the management at that time was great. It was a great use of $200.
Still I enjoy the shotgun and it has worked great as a learning weapon( Meaning that I have used it to practice my limited gunsmithing skills). I know I have put over a thousand rounds through it (Mostly slug, as that's range policy) and under less than ideal conditions(with little lube and 100+ temperatures) and it usually runs great.
