Hows the 590a1? Ive been wanting some type of 590a1 for YEARS now but never could financially swing it. I've been torn between black ones like that, wooden stock ones, and everything in between so im not even sure what specific one id want when I do get the money for it.
I have a maverick 88 so I am good on pump shotgun but I find the pump action really loose (?) idk how to describe it but it feels like the pumping part could tear off if wiggle it slightly to far to the left or right. But id LOVE a high tier pump that would last me forever .
So yeah how do you like yours? Any suggestions for me?
Quick edit: nice damn collection too, got all your bases covered bro
Shot it for the first time today and loved it. First time shooting a sbs. Not sure what model pump I shot when I was young, but i hadn't shot any other shotgun since I was a teenager before buying this, so I can't really give you a comparison. The 590a1 still has the Mossberg side to side wiggle on the pump but it doesn't bother me. The short barrel is fun with the big flash and it's very handy and looks great
Ooh so the wobble is a "feature" on mossbergs then?? Not a bug?
Im also torn between short barrel and long.... short would definitely make it more unique among my 2 shotguns but I just love the absurdity of a fuckload of shells in the tube the longer barrel ones have.
But thanks for the glowing review... now making me more jealous I didnt pick one up yet lmao, wish they were at like the 800 dollar price point they were a few years ago (like 2ys ago) instead of FUCKING 1200-1500!????
