Planning to buy my first shotgun- Mossberg 590. Can someone please tell me what is pro/cons between 590, 590s and 590a1. Looking for budget friendly, reliable shotgun for safekeeping/target shooting. Thanks in advance

Only thing I've looked at is mag capacity and a 590 persuader seems to fit thr bill for em one day. 8+1 capacity. 590a1 is overkill for 99% of applications from what I have heard
