Mossberg 510

I know this is suppose to be a youth gun but do any of you adults carry one?  Pros or cons ?

I hunted with one for three or four seasons when they first came out. They are tiny but mean little guns. Fit for me wasn't bad with an adjustable stock on mine and it was super handy and easy to carry! Shot great patterns as well. I wasn't real crazy about the top safety with the pistol grip stock though. I killed five or six birds with it but had a little issue with a new batch of nitro shells in it one day. Shell wouldn't come out of the ejection port. I had had no prior issues with any ammo up to that point in the little gun but had to dig the hull out with a pocket knife. I came home and checked the hull with the old nitro hulls and sure enough the new one was at least a sixteenth of an inch longer. So now they were useless in that gun and that's the one I had set up for them. This was when federal heavy weight 7 20ga load was just kicking off and I decided not to try them till I could get better feed back on them. The little beast sat idle til I finally parted with her and yes I do miss her: / Now we have so many great 20ga load options everyone needs a turkey gun or two set up in that gauge! I'm going to pick up another 20ga mossberg but I might go with the maverick this time. I've found that most adults that handle and fire these guns have a tendency to fall in love with them. I had no shame in carrying mine.lol
