It is to me. Times three, even. Four if you count the Serbu (technically an AOW of course).

Am I correct in assuming that cutting an 18.5" barrel down to the end of a 5 round magazine tube will result in a 14" barrel? I don't have one to measure, but Midway says that the tubes are 14."

If I was to do an SBS pump gun I think I would look at the factory offerings.

But there are several Mossberg SBR owners here, hopefully one will see this... |

All I can do is say that the Mossberg capacity is 5 shells, so 5 X 2.75 equals 13.75.
I think your stock tube will be in the 15"-16" range. (room for compress mag spring, and tube endcap and follower) Personally, if I were doing a short barreled shotgun, it would be an 870..... |

My friend who is a SOT cut one down flush with the non extended tube and counterbored the barrel. Patterns better than a lot of the 18.5 inch guns we shoot

I started out with 870's when my father bought me an 870 Magnum Special Purpose for Christmas when I was 12. Before that I was shooting an 1100 Skeet but I wanted to give a pump a try. I never looked back.
The 870 treated me well for years but I prefer the Mossbergs now. I prefer having the open bottom which makes loading faster and easier, especially under stress. As someone mentioned before I like the Mossy safety location better also. Now for the SBS issue. Yes, it's absolutely worth it but not if you are planning to use the original Mossy 500 mag tube. You'll only be down to around 15". I would recommend either getting a factory Mossy 590 14" SBS or replacing your mag tube with a factory Mossy mag tube designed for the 14" barrel. I live in the People's Republic of Massachusetts and we are not allowed to Form 1 a shotgun (we can make our own SBR's though) because that would result in what MA law recognizes as a "Sawed-Off Shotgun". But, we are allowed to purchase factory SBS's because they have never been "sawed-off". Go figure. So I ended up with a factory Mossy 590 14" SBS and I'm very happy with it. My club hosted a shotgun course about 5 or 6 years ago and a Mossberg engineer who was a friend of the lead instructor brought a truckload of Mossberg shotguns, some still in the R&D stage with him. I had fired NFA shotguns before that but I got to spend a lot of trigger time with them that day. Mossberg makes a good product. And I do feel that an SBS is worth the money. The compactness makes them much better for use inside buildings, same as SBR's. |

I completely agree with the open bottom--I always pinch my thumb on 870's whenever I try to load them quickly. If the factory tube will only bring me to 15", then I'll hold off for now because I'm on a budget. |

Quoted: Do you think a suppressed SBR would really be better thsn a shotgun for home defense?... View Quote Yes, for many reasons. If I thought there was a better choice for me, that's what I would use. I used a shotgun for HD for years before I had ever taken a defensive shooting class, let alone a carbine course, and if that was all I had to use I wouldn't feel inadequetely equippped... but, for me, now, I also wouldn't feel opitimally equipped. YMMV, and that is fine. |
