I'll only be buying Italian-made shotguns after my Mossberg experience.

Are we talking about Mexican Mossbergs or Turkish Mossbergs by any chance?

I'm talking about the 590A1 hunk of junk I purchased as my first firearm because everyone and their dog said it's the best shotgun ever made.

Its a mossberg 500 with a metal trigger guard and a really heavy barrel that wont get used for its intended purpose by 99.9% of civilian buyers.

As shotguns go its a pretty bad option for most buyers by most metrics.

Its not good for hunting, its not good for clays, its not good for the range. It dosent make sense in most situations, its just the most expensive mossberg so dumbasses will praise it as the best.

I bought it because it's touted as an indestructible tank. It's the only firearm I've owned that had 3 different parts break in a short amount of time. It's also annoying to reassemble with its loose internals.

. The whole thing is sloppy and I understand that's to have "forgiving tolerances" to enhance reliability. I prefer the tighter Italians (ayo) and thankfully I'm free to choose.

. Of course this is just my experience and I probably got a lemon; I'm not saying all Mossbergs are junk. Clearly they're successful for a reason, I just didn't get to see it for myself.
