I just bought the 50420 for HD/SD (while camping, hiking).
Recoil is pretty harsh compared to other (longer barrel gas loaders) guns I've tried, so I'm mostly going to stay with low recoil shells.
I would have gone with the 9 shot version, but my GF preferred the lighter weight 6 shot. The pistol grip turns out to be pretty nice, and the adjustable stock means both she and I can adjust it to our comfort levels (about a 1' difference in arm span between us).
Since I haven't had it long, I can't tell you anything firsthand about longevity, but all of the anecdotal evidence suggests to me that it won't be an issue. The internals do seem slightly "looser" than the Remington 870 which we also closely checked out.
Tons of excellent accessories available for it.
So far I'm happy with it.
