For the price I was hoping something better.

Great shotgun I have an 18in. Vang Comp barrel with a short stock.

Heavy duty well made shotgun. My friends use this weapon in Iraq and love it. I have used it in tactical courses and have not had a single problem.

I love my 590SP. I would put it up against the Remington 870 any day. Don't get me wrong the 870 is a great shotgun and does a great job, I own one.

I own a Mossberg 590 Special Purpose Shotgun with a pistol grip Knoxx Industries recoil reducing stock and I put a front night sight on mine. For the feel, reliability, and round capacity, I do not see a better shotgun out there.

good shooting weapon...i do feel very comfortable carrying on of these into a 590's into a bad situation

Our dept carries the 16" version.......its a great weapon

My bed buddy, with side saddle and speed feed stock added, makes such a beautiful sound! Great weapon!!

Love this gun, my father purchased it me as a graduation gift from the Police Academy. I love where the action release is and the safety, much more practical than the Remington. Shoots straight and true

My unit in the Corps tested the 590s, I love the gun the safty is in a much better place than on the 870 and the weapon is durable I've got a short barreled one also

ok shotgun, but I'd prefer the Benelli!

A well built and yet cost effective weapon. Transition from a Remington and the safety placement presents a problem in the short term but seems better placed on the Mossberg after you are used to it. Had mine ported with 4 rows of 5 1/8" ports 2 rows at the 1030 and 2 rows at the 130 position. With the longer barrel and the ports it shoots great patterns and handles well. I did have to get a youth stock which made it even easier to handle. Not to mention kept me from short stroking it.

My has the Marine Cote to keep it from rusting and it looks great because it looks stainless

Great shotgun. Mine is 8+1 and is stainless (MarineCote). I just need to put some ghostring sights on it and it will be much better.

A great heavy duty Shotgun! I have used Mossberg’s both in the military and as a civilian and like them. I have a M590-A1, 9 shot with the ghost ring sights and love it. I like pump shotguns it’s easy to switch between buck shot and slugs. You can real reach out with the slugs.

Carried one during my deployment to Katarina.... Loved it so much I had to purchase one on my return in 2005. Carry it on duty.... remarkable shotgun.

We had the 590's on my old PD. Very durable. For the money, you couldn't beat it.

Good patrol shotgun. Very dependable.

I have owned and trained hard with, even neglected and abbused my 590 for over 15 years and have not been able to break it yet.

No pump gun is better!

Never leave the station without it!

My all-time favorite peace keeper. Utterly dependable and fearsome to the bad guys. Still being used in Iraq and Afghanistan despite the Army officially going with the Benelli semi-auto. My 590SP should be the standard LE shotgun.

A really all out good duty weapon......rugged and dependable......also good for home defence........

Durable, dependable all day long. Love it.

It is a great all around shotgun, carried one in Iraq and it never let me down. The heatshield on the barrel does tend to catch things and trap dirt under it, and I really never had a use for the bayonet lug, but overall I would take it over any other pump shotgun I have ever used.

I use the 590 with 14 inch barrel

Mossberg makes the best shotguns

Not a fan of Mossbergs, I have had to may problems with them in the past and present. They have made some improvements on them, but still no confidence in them. I have to carry one on duty now,( Because cheaper, low bid) I would love to carry a Remington, I have several and never had a problem out of the 870. Just my 2 cents!

If I can't get my hands on a rifle..this is my next choice

Every bit as good as an 870, with more value for the money spent.
