Hey all, new to gun ownership.

I just bought a Mossberg 590 (full length 8+1) online and am waiting for it in the mail.

While I'm waiting I am looking for a tactical flashlight to attach to the shotgun. Does anyone have any suggestions? Like I said, I'm new so I don't want to buy something that won't fit. Will I need to adjust the gun at all or does it come ready for attachments?

Here's the link of the exact gun; https://www.firearmsoutletcanada.com/mossberg-590-heatshield-woodland-camo--12ga-2-3-4-or-3--20-barrel-9-shot-50710-.html

Since it doesn’t seem to have any pictanny/Mlok mounting points you’ll need to find another method to mount it to the tube. There might be clamp on direct flashlights or you might need a pictanny rail mount.

Don’t order it from Amazon though, overpriced.
