I have a fair number of them, and they tend to be my preferred pump gun option. They\u2019re great guns, but they aren\u2019t perfect.<\/p>\n<p>On Mossberg\u2019s tactical shotguns, they tend to either use ghost ring sights or a bead sight. On the bead-sighted guns, they attach a low bead directly to the barrel. This isn\u2019t optimal, and Defender Tactical offers a solution in the form of their HighBall bead sight backed by their SafetySight design.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with the standard bead being so low is that it will often mess with your point of aim and point of impact. This isn\u2019t too noticeable with standard birdshot or buckshot, but it does make slugs and modern buckshot like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/ammo-review-federal-premium-law-enforcement-buckshot-with-flitecontrol-wad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flitecontrol<\/a> hit high on target. The shorter the barrel, the more this POIA\/POA shift affects your accuracy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_534342\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-534342\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-534342\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-265x198.jpg 265w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-700x525.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-534342\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221255-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-534342\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Big bead better than little bead (Travis Pike for TTAG)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s such a noticeable problem that instructors used to teach shooters to aim for their belt buckle to hit targets center mass.

I used the Sage Dynamics targets and aimed at the chin on the target.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_534345\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-534345\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-534345\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-265x198.jpg 265w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-700x525.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-534345\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1218221044a2-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-534345\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Point of aim illustrated by red dot, versus point of impact (Travis Pike for TTAG)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At only 15 yards, the rounds consistently struck several inches high.

I wouldn\u2019t say it greatly improved my slug accuracy, but what it did do is help prevent the occasional flyer. It\u2019s also a quick and easy reference if you have to get a slug fired off fast with good accuracy. It helps remove and correct human error more than anything else.<\/p>\n<p>If I made a pie graph of things that affect accurate shooting, human error would occupy the biggest slice by far. If your shotgun doesn\u2019t have a rear sight, this is a simple upgrade to improve accuracy and it mixes perfectly with the HighBall front bead. Not only does it act as a handy sighting solution, but as a larger, improved safety. It\u2019s quick and easier to switch on and off with ease.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Winning Combination<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The SafetySight and HighBall combined are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/gun-review-mossberg-500-retrograde-shotgun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rock-solid kit<\/a> for improving your Mossberg 500 or 590 series shotgun. These two little pieces make a huge difference in how your Mossberg shotgun shoots. It\u2019s well suited for a stock gun or even a Shockwave. For $25 it\u2019s the best dollars-for-performance upgrade I can suggest.
