  • just chcked your blog and im going with the 590sp. will be purchasing on monday :) alot better than my new england firearms pardner pump 870 knock off. even though it was all steel and the trigger guard was steel it was kinda flimsy. the slide would just drop open if it wasnt pumped and the stocked was heavy as crap! good gun though had it for 5 years and put 700 roudns through it and it held up. pretty good for a 199$ shotgun

  • @Sacreppin916 Thanks for watching and reading. You cant go wrong with a 590 thats for sure. Its got great capacity and its built like a tank.

  • iv been debating on a remi 870 express 6+1 18.5 inch barrel or the 20" 590 special purpose with ghost rings. the 590 is 499$ and the express is 380$. is the extra 120$ worth it for the 590? i love the ergos on the 590 and where the safty and bolt release are at. any suggestions?

  • Overall I think u did an awesome review, and made a good point about the trigger guard and civilian applications. The most im doin is shootin some targets and a home defense type situation. Nicely done!

  • Mine is parkerized and has the ghost ring sights, only thing its missing on mine is the a1 stamp.

  • I have the 590 sp and it said on the box it had heavy walled barrel and I love it. It passed the mil spec 3443 as well. I love it I don't need an a1 just sayin.. good vid!

  • Good video. I'm weighing the pros and cons between the 590SP and the 590A1 and ran across your video. Good stuff. I'll be buying new, so I'm having to ask myself if the finish, heavy wall barrel and trigger guard are worth fifty more dollars? My mind will most likely change 50 times between now and when I order it. :)

  • @leadslanger I always say but what makes you happy. If it makes you smile when you look at it then the $50 is worth it even if you dont really need it. Dont buy to impress anybody but yourself. As for me I was buying used so I didnt have 2 off the shelf to choose from and I was happy with the SP model for basic home defense. If I had a choice I'd rather have the mil-spec heavy duty model just because thats what I shot in the military and its simply just cool lol.

  • Thank you for the useful information. Have been researching shotguns for awhile now. Does having the barrel ported lower recoil much or is it marketing bs?

  • @r71oats6 I think if you are shooting a shotgun at close range inside your house then porting is not really needed. If you are a slug shooter (like a hunter) then maybe porting is helpful to reduce muzzle rise but for close range work I dont see how spending the extra money for a ported barrel is going to really make a significant difference? I could be wrong though. Im no expert. Thats just my personal opinion.

  • @r71oats6 for close range self defense I dont think its needed. For long range slug shooting I'd say it has some advantages. Just my opinion though. I could be wrong since Im not a shotgun expert.

  • Back in the day, early 90's, the bayonet on the 590 was used as a stand off marker for door breaching. :) 95B U.S. Army MP's 

  • @2326TX I did not know that???

  • 9 rounds that thing is awesome :-)

  • Mossberg Rulz!......Period.

  • Great vid! What is the difference between the military version and the civilian version of the M590A1?

  • @usmale9112001 mil-spec will have thicker barrels and all metal parts vs plastic.

  • What are the deer hunter with that music?

    Cool shot gun bro!

  • awesome. cool video. i lke the look of the wood stock. mine got synthetic plastic stock. id rather have old wood furniture. i thnk i might get a bayonet for mine just for the hell of it

  • @GhostInTheShell09 Thanks for watching. Get the bayonet for sure. It might come in handy if you run out of ammo. Im all about stacking the odds of survival in your favor and a bayonet could be useful. Its better than throwing a fist thats for sure.Plus its just cool lol.

  • This is going to be my next shotgun. I currently have a Benelli Nova Tactical. I like it, but have always wanted a Mossberg - I like their straightforward practical design and prefer Mossberg's safety placement over Remington's and Benelli's), and I like the SP. I agree with you about the wood furniture. Love it. I always appreciate your vids. Very educational.

  • @FlyingPancreas Thanks for watching. You will love the "built like a tank" features of the 590 series.

  • Laughing at people that think a bayonet is dumb..... A bayonet does not need to be reloaded, and whilst you can use the butt to smash a skull, the simple fact is the bayonet allows you a little more distance from your enemy-not much, but maybe enough to keep you from getting stabbed or taken down. The zombies came during Katrina, and they are waiting to come during the next catastrophe again...

  • great review, got mine on order, can't wait, tried a friends last week on a practical shoot in the uk, all the other guys were using semi auto shotguns and had problems, the mossberg was faultless, totally outstanding shotgun.

  • @davidannette You are going to love it.

  • Good review, it answered alot of my questions. Although you made a comment on the safety that caught my attention. Would putting a pistol grip make it more difficult to access the safety switch/button than with a regular stock? i plan to get a 590 SP for home defense and such, and although i would of course have the safety off if i knew something would go down, I don't think ill always have the luxury of a head start where i live. Thanks for your time.

  • @vicspyder Every gun has its strength & weakness...you just touched on the Mossbergs weakness. With a tang safety any pistol grip will be slightly harder to reach. That being said, it isnt a deal breaker for most if you dont plan on walking into a gun fight with your safety on. If you hear a breaking window, you grab your gun and take it off safe and go investigate. If they are already standing in your room then you have bigger problems than a safety location. Time to buy a revolver. (no safety)

  • @mixflip interesting enough, thanks for the info. And ill keep a revolver in mind actually. Thanks for the reply :J (so far in shotgun options its this or the remington 870 express, leaning more on this)

  • do you need any special licenses for special purpose?

    

  • @hellocycloner You need a special education.

  • Good review! I realize you uploaded this video a while ago, but one thing I would like to point out is that you can get the 590 SP with a parkarized finish. I have it on my 590 and love it.

  • @stevothegrand I really like the look and feel of the anodized receiver and blued barrel. I dont know why? Maybe because it feels smooth and it gives it an old school look. Thanks for watching.

  • @mixflip I agree, they are both very nice finishes. I think the reason I like the parkarized (at least on my shotgun) is because it reminds me of a coated truck bed, and in-turn makes me think of reliability and durability. Strange I know :)

  • Thank you for the review, it was very informative. :-)

  • Great review! I've been looking for a new home defense shotgun and I'm in love with this gun!

  • I live in Vegas and was looking to get a Mossberg 590, do you recommened any local shop that has good variety of mossberg shotguns?

  • @rajvosa71000 Try Bargain Pawn on Las Vegas blvd & Lake Meade. They have alot of shotguns and lots of used ones that might be pretty low in price? Discount Firearms, The Gun Store, Lock & Load and New Frontier Armory and Dicks Sporting goods might have a few too?

  • Doesn't the mossberg have a big recoil for the cops or the military

  • @martinki11 recoil is related to the type of ammo you use not the brand of gun you shoot or who you work for. 00-buck will have significant recoil in any brand of shotgun (not just Mossberg) and for any person shooting it (not just cops & military).

  • 590 A1 is for Heavy Duty Combat? So i guess your shotgun is ligtweight and just for shooting watermelons right?

  • @MrPoosa1 The mil-spec 590A1 has a thicker walled barrel, metal trigger assembly, metal safety button and metal ghost ring sights so its heavier by default. Not so much heavier for the sake of being heavy for combat? The 590SP is lighter because they use a cheaper barrel and plastic parts. Not to make it lighter specifically to shoot watermelons. I dont really know why anyone would be confused about this?

  • @mixflip I think the SP has it's place as much as the M590A1 does(different philosophies, IMHO), if I hadn't got lucky and gotten my Winchester 1300 12 Gauge Defender when it was still a 18 1/2" bbl w/7+1 capacity BEFORE FN changed the Defender to a 5+1 shot. But for a HEAVY DUTY/GO TO WAR SHOTGUN I'll take the 7 1/2lb M590A1, but if I have to MOVE QUICKLY, I want the 6 1/4lb Winny Defender! Imagine similar is true with the 'Special Purpose' 590, I do prefer the parkerized look though.

  • @MrPoosa1 obviously, you don't know shit about shotguns, so your sarcastic comment just makes you look like a stupid inbred uneducated youtube moron.

  • @laputadetumadre11 I actually own 2 shotguns, and saving up for an AA12. Why all this hostility? Can't We all just get along.

  • Where you are shooting looks very familiar to me. Would this happen to be in Vegas, on the freeway to Mt. Charleston, Past the Piute Indian Reservation? In the caleche valley?

  • @screaminghellion Yep. Mile marker 103

  • @mixflip I knew it. Very cool to know that you are local. Keep up the good work sir.

  • What kind of rounds were you using?

  • @FruitL00pFromJupiter some birdshot and some 00 buck.

  • I love the pinkie trick

  • when you hold that piece you look like a pi**ed off Johnny Chan who just found out somebody stole his WSOP bracelets!

  • @rchan0 Who is Johnny Chan? and whats a WSOP bracelet?

  • @mixflip

    man i have to say i love the wood hardware.. its a classic look and yet itll give someone a good bite

  • The heavier 590A1 barrel helps with recoil management, handy when your shooting 3" shells.

  • i just got my 590 and i already had feeding issues and trigger reset issues i striped it down last night and it seems to be functioning right now that i put it back together with some gun grease perhaps its just a break in period if anyone else had the same issues please let me know..

  • @BekkerOnGunsNHunting I cant say what the issue was but its not uncommon for interfacing metal parts to need a little bit of working together to break in. A good cleaning and re-oiling is always a smart thing to do too before you go for your first shoot. Sometimes the factory packs in grease for protection in shipping. Kinda like brand new disk break rotors have to be clean before installation to get off all that packing grease.

  • Good point about the bayonet. Might not need it but it makes your gun look more intimidating.

  • Good review; however, there are many opinions on the trigger guard, which most are saying that sooner then later the plastic gives way. There are options in obtaining steel guard, which will out last the cheap plastic.

    Other wise, it's a great gun.

  • @1LonePuma Its a preference thing I guess? Glock and S&W M&P and SIG and HK plastic trigger guards hold up just fine and so far none have come back broken in a firefight that I have heard of lately? Plastic also doesnt expand and contract on contact with hot and cold weather like metal does so its definitely not as weak as some would think?

  • @mixflip The plastic trigger guards are really just that--PLASTIC. Not high quality/high engineered polymer-wonder stuff. It is really cheap, and I've seen quiet a few that were broken or cracked or split. Also, oil adversely affects MOST plastic. So, food for thought.

  • @1LonePuma Like I said, preference. I personally havent seen any plastic trigger guards break in my 20 years of shooting with the military and law enforcement but I am also not very high speed low drag so my experience may be rare and unique? I dont have a problem with plastic and I dont knock anyone who does? After all it is just plastic. Metal on guns is always a good thing.

  • You are excellent

  • mixflip,

    I guess the main point is that the 590 and 590A1 are identically or relatively the same when firing the weapon and the damage that it does.

    Good review man and I kinda like the wood stock better

  • where is this song from i heard it from somewhere at 48 seconds?

  • @megotmesources call of duty 3 i believe haha, i was thinkin the same thing

  • Why is that thing so quiet? Did you edit it to muffle the sound at the cost of authenticity or is it really like that?

    But either way, police cruiser 70's look is right.

  • @PancakeOnaAstick Its shot in the open desert so there is not much for the sound to bounce off plus the camera I used probably has a low quality mic? I did not edit the sound at all. Alot of people have asked my why its so quiet? lol. Thanks for watching.

  • i bought mine brand new for $389. gonna mow some targets down tomorrow w/ it. :)

  • @devildroid667 Have fun!!!!!!!!!

  • @mixflip have 2 of these fun guns. love the bayo lug which takes the standard m-16 bayonette. Bought mine back in '96 for $300- 325 or so and both have the poly speedfeed stock WITH the parkerize. Recently rounded up 2 metal triggerguards from brownells, cool toys.

  • Did you have the stock custom made?

  • @MrBladeDude No. Any Mossberg 500 stock will fit on a Mossberg 590. I bought the stock & forearm used off of backpage(dot)com for $20.

  • Great video! Very informative. Thanks for sharing! Keep the videos coming! :)

  • Cool vid tks for the info. Will be joining the 590 family very soon.

  • @308bushmaster Thanks for watching. Sub if you'd like to see more of my videos?

  • I just luv your shotgun and yes i like the old school look. The action seems amazing, ill buy it at 600 bucks if you ever want to sell it.

  • you stand like an idiot..no offense but your about to fall over, stop being over tacticool

  • @tmasters27 You're 22years old and wear too much make up...no offense.

  • @mixflip

    thats really your comeback? how weak

  • @mixflip

    Hey! You're only ex-military! What could you possibly know about firearm handling?

  • Hi there! After the Benelli purchase, would you still recommend the Mossberg 590a1?

  • @armchairelitist Absolutely. Why? Because the Benelli cant mount a bayonet lol. Thats one of the cool factors of the 590A1 plus its just cool to own a shotgun that the Marines used to use. If you just want a home defense gun the Benelli will work fine and you dont need another shotgun. But if you have the extra money, go for the 590 as well? Keep in mind many people ignore and neglect their pump shotguns so having 2 might not be money well spent? If you have disposable income...go for it.

  • The "civilian" versions come in parkerized too!

  • @Tranquillity45 Good to know. I just mentioned it because mine was blued. I figured the SP models were all blued but I was just guessing? Thanks for the info.

  • Was that the socom theme?

  • @Eagle249 Lol yes it was.

  • when ur reloading the shot gun and u need to shoot something then pull out a pistol. thats one way to deal with it. bayonets good to though

  • Awesome video. I was originally thinking of a 590a1, but today went to the local gun shop and handled a 590 SP. I like the ventilated shroud and bayonet lug. Nice options if (yeah, probably a big IF) I need them. Thanks for your opinion regarding the aluminum receiver - makes total sense. Also, I really like the "old-school" wooden stock/forearm. Along with the barrel shroud, it is reminiscent of the Winchester '97 trench gun, and heck, that gun was protested against in WWI.

  • @wingnut948 Thanks for watching. Shotguns are just so dang cool in general arent they?

  • Can't you just buy a 590a1 barrel and put it on a 590 sp?

  • I just got a 28" supernova and I love it, but this gun is very good looking! Where did you get this and what is the price range?

  • i was thinking it would be cool if they made a flip up bayonet like they have on same ak47's just a thought..

  • @renagade12 I think you mean SKS style bayonets right? AK's dont have flip bayonets.

  • @mixflip

    well if you look at the POLYTECH AKS AK47  they have flip up bayonets.. well w/e the gun, it would be pretty cool. lol

  • @renagade12 Oh ok. I have never seen a Polytech AK. My bad.

  • @mixflip

    no worries man, check it out.. youll see how awesome it is

    stay safe

    Vaughn

  • Beautiful shotgun mate.. the wood adds to its character.

  • @renagade12 Thanks mate.

  • @mixflip i have a mariner mossberg 590 and im wondering if the wood would look right on it...

  • @renagade12 It might look cool but wood doesnt resist salt water as well as polymer. I guess it doesnt really matter as long as you like it though.

  • @mixflip There is not much salt water in the Las Vegas desert so I think I'll be ok.

  • How do you like the 590 in comparison to the Binelli SuperNova?

  • @FlyingPancreas I sold it and absolutely love the Benelli!!!!!

  • @mixflip supernova?

  • I enjoyed your review! It was very short and to the point, and very informative.

    I just bought a 590A1. After watching your video, i`m thinking of getting " wood

    furnature" on mine. Again,Thanks.

  • Nice COD music. I got my 590 special purpose for $200 on a misprice at gander. They thought it was a 500. Do you know if there are interchangeable barrels for this gun?

  • @jakeschlarb Unfortunately, you can't change the barrels out on a 590.

  • Where have I heard that song from 0:44-1:03 before?

  • the only thing i like better on my m500 over my remington 870:the damn slide release position

  • what kind of shells were you using?

  • @thewiffenpoof some were birdshot and some were 00-buck (9 pellets)

  • Great vid and there is noyhing wrong with plastic as far as i am concerned either,i have a Benelli Supernova which has more than it's fair share of plastic and is the best pump action 12ga i have ever owned.I do like the 590 and will be purchasing one soon for home defense purpose's and having shot them before i know they are a very reliable 12Ga too

  • mossberg 590 looks like the old ww2 trenchgun awesome shotgun getting one in about 2 weeks great video

  • I give this guy 10 points for being plain honest and saying what he truly feels / thinks.

    good job mate ! :o)

  • nice i like the wood finesh. I have the Mossberg 590 persuader with ghost ring sights black finesh

  • Now THIS is a good review my friend! keep the vids coming

  • @armchairelitist Thanks, I just picked up an SKS so there should be more videos coming soon?

  • Comment removed

  • Just ordered a nrand new 590 HB the other day ... gonna be awesome....what is the music from?..... sounds EPIC!!

  • Its from Call of Duty Modern Warfare. I thought it sounded cool too.

  • @mixflip its actually the cod 3 theme

  • @brett256north its actually the call of duty 3 theme

  • Lookin good. I want to pick up some wood furniture for my 500A.

  • Hey man, Damn nice gun. Looks alot like the 8-shot Mossberg Persuader I have with the wood furniture, got a vid of it on my channel shooting snow with it. Love Mossbergs, always have. Have a goodin and Happy Shooting, yf, kdwoodjr

  • Classy looking shotgun!Good find bro!
