835 garbage?

[BigJohnJTP]

I have at least 5 very different 870s (12s and a 20 gauge) and have never had any problem with any of them. And I never liked the rattling sloppiness of Mossberg actions and the safety on top of the pistol grip which is known to break off occasionally. But still - Mossbergs are known for their reliability and durability. If you want an interesting comparison just Google "mossberg wins military contract":

I'm a fan of 870s and 835s honestly. Also the 1100, 11-87, and the 935.
Especially the ones built in the 90s through 2000s.
