I have a Mossberg 500, and for me, a non-hunter, everything is intuative, especially the location and operation of the safety. I keep a shell in the chamber, a simple, quiet slide of the safety and I’m in business.
I got it with the silver matte finish. I want to be able to see it at night.
One of the things I like about the Russian Saiga 12 is that all you do is pull back the bolt and go.
Also, I like that it can be unloaded with the of a finger.
