I am currently using a remington 870 SPS-T with thumbhole and I absolutely love it! The gun is so comfortable in the hands and it allows me the flexibility to shoot 3.5" shells. I use to have a Mossberg 835 ulti-mag that shot 3.5" shells, but I definitely like the Remington much better. Mossberg also has a thumbhole model shotgun in the 835 and if you like Mossberg guns, then I would look at one of those at your local sporting goods store. Of the two that I have mentioned, I prefer the Rem more. There must a reason why it is the most popular selling shotgun

Same here. I love this gun. It's a sweet looking and shooting gun. I assume r33h you also have a 24" barrel? The 870 SPS-T is put together a little better than the Mossbergs, not saying a Mossberg is a bad gun mind you.
I believe it is a 23" barrel, aren't they? It is the factory barrel that comes on the gun. It is either 23" or 24"...
