I've narrowed my choice to these two, and I'm leaning heavily toward the 590 because it's in the configuration that I want. The only 870 that I can find with a short barrel is the Super Magnum with Marinekote finish which is more than I want to spend, and besides, I want all blue.
I'm wondering if the 590 is easily modified? Can I switch back and forth easily between barrel lengths? If not, would the 500 be a better choice.
I am also concerned with quality. I was told by someone that the difference between a Remington and a Mossberg is like the difference between a Beretta and a Smith & Wesson. Is this true, or is the difference fairly negligible?
Thanks for all help.
