Its a mossberg 500 with a metal trigger guard and a really heavy barrel that wont get used for its intended purpose by 99.9% of civilian buyers.

As shotguns go its a pretty bad option for most buyers by most metrics.

Its not good for hunting, its not good for clays, its not good for the range. It dosent make sense in most situations, its just the most expensive mossberg so dumbasses will praise it as the best.

It's Reddit's favorite pump gun to glaze.

What 12 gauge pump is better than a mossberg?

I hate to say it, but for most people, a Mossberg 500 is perfectly fine if they want a new pump gun.

Oh ok I thought you meant mossberg in general gets glazed to much.

I agree a regular 500 is good for most, if you don't mind the added weight though the heavy Walled Barrel and aluminum trigger group is nice.

Yeah I'm mostly talking about the 590A1 being too overrated lol, the regular 500/590 is already extremely reliable at a much more reasonable price. Plus when smaller bits eventually break you won't feel as bad.

P.S. Purely anecdotal but I kept seeing new 590A1s with out of spec magtube lip causing feeding issues.
