If anyone is interested, I bought a Mossberg with the factory installed ATI collapsible stock. Took it out to the range today, and it functioned very well. Stock seemed solid enough, as did the integrated shell holder. I've read some bad stuff about ATI, but so far I like it. I also liked the strap that is installed on the slide forearm because it helps your grip when you have sweaty hands. On my regular Mossberg Persuader with the 20in barrel and 7 shot tube, I find that on a hot summer day when my hand is sweating that the forearm can jump out of my hand. This may be aggravated further by the fact that I find the gun a little too long for me. The shorter ATI stocked gun with the 18.5 inch barrel handles significantly better. I think I am going to sell my 20in Persuader due to handling characteristics, and because in a time of need I would grab the ATI stocked gun much more readily that the longer one. Surprisingly, the new gun came accessorized like this from the factory. The dealer only had one left, and I don't see the gun listed on the Mossberg website. Price was $349 before tax, which seems a little high for a Mossberg (from what I've heard), but I like it well enough. I suppose that I could have both these accessories separately and put them on myself, but I really liked that fact that it came from the factory with the accessories that I wanted. No fuss.

Just got the same Mossberg with the collapsible stock and side holder for the shells and strap on the slide.
The one I originally ordered was the regular 500 with 7 +1 shot, but it had a cracked trigger guard.
They went to see if they had another and found the one we have. Guess it was meant to be.
