Fun Fact! The 590 14” is generally more accurate with average slugs than the 590 full length.
This is because in a short Barrel the slugs come out subsonic as opposed to supersonic, and transitioning from super- to sub- sonic mid air can throw the trajectory quite a bit.
Theres a vid out there where a gentleman fires a shockwave with birds head grip accurately at 100 yards.
So, it may not have as much velocity and more arc in its trajectory, but it will be moderately more accurate if zeroed.
