I recently bought a Mossberg 500A self defense model with the 20" barrel and 7 shot magazine and have come to the conclusion that the included pistol grip sucks. As there are a lot of options for aftermarket stocks, grips, etc. I am looking for suggestions as to which ones to consider and which ones to avoid. I want a pistol grip and am leaning towards the idea of a AR style multi position stock and a generally tacticool style setup. I want to avoid wasting my money on crap production pieces.
Also looking for suggestions on good slings, shell holders, lights, all the fun useful stuff to put on while avoiding excess weight and making it to cumbersome. I don't mind spending money for quality, but I also don't like throwing it away when there are less expensive alternatives of equal or better quality.
Mods that require minor smith work don't scare me as I enjoy the challenge.
So, what do ya got?
