I have the Nova and love it(28" barrel). I am a tall guy (6'5") so finding a gun that felt right was important. I find the fore-grip to be at the perfect distance for me. Gun has a nice feel to it, good balance and has yet to jam on me. I have been wondering for some time about getting a shorter barrel for defence (bears) but cant seem to justify it. Why have 1 shotgun with 2 barrels when you can have 2 shotguns for the same price? I think last time I looked, a new barrel for a Nova was around 400$ and you can buy an 870 for that.
Overall, I love the nova. It has good reach with the interchangeable chokes when I am shooting skeet, fits me very well, easy to take down.
Hope this helps!
