Haven’t purchased yet, still trying to decide on a shotgun to go with the CZ 75 SP-01 I currently have. Trying to decide between the different variants of the Mossberg 590.
Make sure you pull the plug out of the 590. I like mine. If I had one that is. But I wouldn’t put the pistol grip on it if I had one.
Cant go wrong with the 590M and a couple of spare magazines
I’ve had an 8-shot, 18” non-A1 590 with ghost ring sights, and it was a good one. I got it for about $200 on consignment at my LGS 15 years ago.
Later on, I replaced the original stock and forend with Magpul furniture, which I think was an improvement, particularly with the shorter length of pull. I think they sell A1s now already wearing Magpul furniture and a sight rail, so if I was buying a new one, I’d probably go with that and maybe put an EOTech on it, although I think it’s a lot more expensive that what I bought. If you see something with regular furniture on the used market, you can sometimes get a Magpul set for a little more than $100 if you do some bargain hunting.
It's loaded with Federal LE #1 Buck.
I have some Federal LE Tru-ball slugs in the side saddle if I need more penetration for a hard target.
