Or another variant of the FN.

Maybe a benelli M2/M4 or is there just as good and reliable shotgun for less money available?

Or what other GOOD options are there? I'm not into shotguns that much and plan on getting started in some 3-gun matches. I'm only planning on buy 1 so I want it to be a reliable and durable for both matches and home defense.

I'm kinda partial of Mossberg myself.

But if you're gonna use it for 3-gun, go with the 500 over the 590. The 590 weighs a ton...especially if it's set up like mine with a 4 round Speedfeed stock and a 6 round Tac-Star side saddle. Hell, even a model 88 "Maverick" would be a goodun for 3-gun.

The 590 is naturally by design heavier than a 500, but I never knew 10 extra shells would weigh it down so much.

The SLP is king shiz, I wish I never would have sold mine. Fast, smooth, and eats anything you feed it.

The only time you would ever want to run a pump shotgun in 3-gun is if you are shooting in the Heavy Metal Division. You will need a tube that can hold at least 8 round to be competitive.(excludes the Mosberg 500 right away) The M4 isn't real good for 3-gun as it is expensive and hard to do any mods to. The FN/WIN SX1,SX2, SLP is a good choice, but they can really bite your loading digit especially if you load weak hand, it can be fixed and they are ok, but most the top shooters in 3-gun run a Benelli M1 or M2.

And I wonder of they will air the reshoots on the FNH 3-Gun Nation footage from Mesa because 3 of the 4 SLP's jammed!

I think they are on the right track to attempt to keep up with the Benelli's, just not there yet.

Get an M1 or M2 Benelli with a 21" or a 24" barrel and be done with it.

I never had a hiccup with mine, but to each their own.

Probably a break in issue. They are fine shotguns, just kind of painful to watch!
