Tang safety with a top folding stock is unusable.
I'm another who doesn't bother with it, "safe" is an empty chamber.

If you put a Vang oversized safety button on an 870 or 1100 you can easily hit the button as you put your finger on the trigger. http://www.shop.vangcomp.net/product.sc;jsessionid=8E6834D1F0646F44677753E4BE38CAB3.qscstrfrnt01?productId=27&categoryId=7

Personally I too like the controls on the Mossy 500 better.  Both guns are "bullet proof" so it comes down to these type of things.

JIMO, I never use the safety on a pump gun.  Its either loaded, or empty chamber.

Heck, even the AR safety can be used by a lefty. You just use the trigger finger rather than the thumb.

That's how I started using the safety on my first AR. I have an ambi on the newer one and almost never use it "proper" way. I keep forgetting that it's there.

PS As far as the forends, they are ambi. Just like the AR only in reverse. If you are RH, you trigger them with your thumb. LH, use your index finger.

Gotcha.

FQ, try using a tang safety with a stock with a pistol grip and then tell me it's "right there"
hmmm...you are using your thumb, right?

I hadn't thought of the pistol grip addition with a Mossy, thanks for bringing that up.
As for the last sentence, I don't want to know....*fingers in ears* ...na na na na na na  :P

I leave the chamber empty. Psychological effect with chambering a round, though it is a position giveaway, may cause Mr. Badguy to depart the immediate area.

The only time that there is a round in my 870's chamber is while deer hunting (Just a week and a half away.  ;D). I keep the safety on until I see deer in range.

Empty Chamber, is safe.





Just a collapsible ATI stock, and a CDNN rail for a light. That's it. May consider some type of iron sights, but than I think to myself,

Really? WTF for?  ;)

You guys are going to force me to post pics of my 42 year old Wingmaster, with an American Walnut stock, in nearly perfect condition aren't you?  As soon as I get it back, I will....

It ain't tacticool but it's flawless and dependable.... ;)

This thread made me take a peek for a short barrel for my 11-87 LH.

Got one off gunbroker today for $140.
21" w/rifle sights. It should ship on Monday.  ;D
