Easy big chief, no need to get your panties in a knot. As stated just my opinion from my experience with a 500 vs other models
Same shit gets spewed about the AK-47, but the proof is in the performance. The Mossberg 500 is the workhorse of the line, it may not be the prettiest but when it comes time to lay down the firepower, just like with the Kalashnikov, accept no substitutes!
Argue all you want, but their record of reliable performance and my personal experience with mine speaks far greater volumes to me than one individual's opinion!
(Walter's expression mirrors mine when I read crap like this!)
My experience was with a regular 590a1 and shockwave with the rubber plug you could buy.Anybody read the article in January American Rifleman about the 590S?
Anybody have one to try out the minishells?
I load the minis in an old double SXS to keep in my shop near the goat barn for nightime intruders. (coyotes etc.)
I never tried them in my Win model 12s, model 25s or model 1897 because I did not think that they would function reliably. (definitely not in any self loaders, model 50s or Rem 11s)
Wish I had never sold mine. Bought it at Walmart for $175 and had a guy at work fall in love with it and offer me $275 for it so I let him have it. Walmart quit carrying them after that.Well I love my Winchester 1300 Defender that I bought around 94 .
Easy to clean and maintain for me.
I have shot the Aguila mini shells, buckshot and slugs, through my 18" 590A1 with the Opsol adapter. Worked flawlessly. Magazine tube holds 9 of them compared to 5 of the 2¾" shells. The mini shells have much reduced recoil as compared to the full length shells. I have some Federal Shortys too, but haven't tried them yet.Anybody read the article in January American Rifleman about the 590S?

Do you like your safety where your thumb is or by the trigger guard. That is really the only difference.I like mine but I’ve wanted to venture out and get an 870. I’d be curious to know from people who’ve own a 500 or 870, which they preferred?
^^^^This!^^^^Do you like your safety where your thumb is or by the trigger guard. That is really the only difference.
Ofcourse there are various models of each but between the 2 that is the only difference I'm like configurations.
I used the 870 at work for years. I hunted with an 870 clone for decades. I have a 590A1 as my personal shotgun.
I prefer the safety where my thumb can get to it on top of the receiver and rather avoid poking around by the trigger.
YMMV
Attaboy!I’ve been thinning the herd over the last 3 years. Among the items sold were 8 shotguns, including 2 Remingtons, a Browning and an Ithaca. Old Oskar is still here.
