Good Ol Mossy 500's and Remington 870's

I read in another thread that a Mossberg Maverick trigger group can be swapped into a 500 creating a 2 safety shotgun.

The .410 I first hunted quail with had a safety on "top" so that seems normal for me. My Daisy Pump air rifle had a trigger safety. I can use both but would prefer a Glock pistol style trigger guard, pistol grip, and no traditional safety if it were up to me.

I have a 500a 28 inch barrel and a tactical 870 with the knoxx adjustable stock and ide take the 870 over the 500a any day. Sure they are setup for different things but as for smoothness of operation and over all comfort 870 all the way.I would however go with a plain tradition stock over the Ar style. I would sell the 500 in a heart beat any takers but not the 870!

Personally I like the safety on the 500's, as it is about as ambidextrous as it gets. Obviously adding a pistol grip changes things, but after trying them, I find I like shotguns better without them.

Also, I don't think it has been mentioned, but I believe 500s are slightly easier to load due to the loading gate being up. Not a big deal, but something I have noticed.
