I see several magazine/clips for shotguns. Is there a 10+ round mag for a Mossberg 500?
Thanks
I’m confused. How is this different from the illegal “sawed off shotgun”?
I own one and it’s not worthless. Very easy to shoot. Works well for what it is intended for.
An utterly worthless firearm.. How are you supposed to butt stroke a perp with that thing?? Too hard to shoot well too.. The butt stock serves multiple purposes. When in close quarters you simply tuck it under the arm. Out doors to shoulder it. After you run out of ammo you club bad guys with it..

I love my 500 Persuader but want one of these. Does anyone know if these are legal in Florida?
