I had looked at Mavericks but after doing some research, I won't buy one, especially for home defense. 870s are tried and true. This. BUT when they get a shipment it, prepare to stand in line for a while and hope you get one. This is what I have heard fro a guy who has bought them anyways. Eh, I figure the 870 is a work horse. If it gets a little beat up, it won't bother me too much. If I bought a $2k shotgun, I'd be keeping it pristine though. Nice find but I have never heard of that store either.
