Then again, people have told me that my SIG 226 feels a bit wobbly (there's a lot of play between the slide and frame) and that they prefer the more solid feel of their Glocks and XDs, and yet I've already realize I don't mind that wobble so much. Maybe I'll develop the same sort of attitude towards the Mossberg if I get comfortable with it.

(As you guys can tell, I'm letting myself get a little more swayed towards the Mossy.)

Wobble isn't a bad thing. Both my M1911A1s wobble when you shake them. During WW2 GIs would shake their 1911s and listen for the wobble, because the loose ones were more reliable. Perfect tightness is only a good thing on a range gun.
