Took forever to reach a human at PSA. They finally took gun for inspection & immediately shipped it right back, saying, that gun has known ejector/extractor issues & they do not stock the part in question & will not be of any assistance in fixing it. They said(this is all in writing shipped back with the gun) I could buy the needed part aftermarket & good riddance ! Every word of this is true & can be verified by my local gun shop whom tried to help after shooting the gun & presently has the gun now !

    Mossberg 500/590 definitely my favorite. Got my first 500 at 15 years old and that was 40 years ago. That being said, I would caution anyone getting the pistol grip version stock. They suck!! We bought about 40 of them without t&e and it was and is a shit show. Being left handed I can at least still hit the slide release, my right handed coworkers don’t have that luxury. You can’t operate that ambidextrous safety I love so well without changing your grip. I made a comment to our former Sheriff about it and he said it was a training issue. I have taught shotgun classes, it wasn’t a training issue it was a design issue. That being said mine will soon be rocking a normal stick and the ergonomics will be back the way I love them.

      I could not agree with you more. I got my first Mossberg 500 as an early Christmas present when I was 12. I got it early because deer season here in Mi falls in November. It has taken a lot of game over the last 40+ years and I keep it accessible for home defense. I shot a friend's 590 with the pistol grip and ran into the same problem. I am a righty and had the same issues you mentioned. I think I will keep my old 500, with the slide release and safety that I know and love. I agree that it is a design flaw/issue. In a life or death situation, something like that could get you dead.

    Honestly for the AR I'd say you'd be much happier saving up for the IWI Zion-15. That extra $400 makes it just so much more worth it compared to most of the other guns on the list that don't have as massive of upgrades for a slightly more expensive version.

      @@rcampbell4967 I own a Glock 19 and a 43x. They are 100% stock. They're ok. The CZ P-10C and the P-10S I have are better overall shooters and are cheaper. My Sig p365 macro is better than both S and 43x. My M&P 2.0 is better than the C and the 19. The solitary thing I like more about the 19 and 43, is that the mags are very very very inexpensive and easy to find. You can buy 10-12 Glock mags for the price of 4 CZ, M&P or Sig mags
      I don't by aftermarket products for pistols unless I don't have any other options. So, I'm sure I could improve the glocks to maybe be as good as the others. But then I could upgrade the others to be even better.
      Parts upgrades is not a rabbit hole I want to find myself in.
      I've had failures to feed in all of them besides the P-10S.
      So, while I will never scoff at someone buying a Glock. This isn't 2010 or 2000. There are better pistols. Just as reliable and do everything better than Glocks for the same price or cheaper.

    Good video but nothing really new here. P365, P07, the S&W folding pcc. Outlaw is great and at the same time nothing that hasn’t been sent before

      It’s the same thing the gun world itself suffers from. The gun industry doesn’t move as fast as social media does, so you either get info that’s repeated to death or tons of releases with small iterations that only have marginal differences.

      Would you rather he put worse guns on the list just because they are different?
