I like that 590R but holy **** they are proud of them suckers.

 

[trader]

would like one, or a semi but this time cerakoted, my current 590 tactical needs a friend

 

[HansGruber]

I’m pretty set for pump guns at this point, but…that’s a good idea for Mossberg.

Hard pass for me. Pistol grips and collapsing stocks don't point right for me. A conventional stock is called for when a shotgun is in use, as one loses the point and shoot quick response that a shotgun excels at. Maybe it is just me, but a pistol grip does not "swing right" for me. Guess I am destined to be non-tactical in the shotgun world.

Looks good but at the price of an auto.

 

[Funwithfuel]

Those sights, yeah they won't get knocked loose or broken. I get the appeal to the AR crowd but the thumb safety works, why mess that up ?

 

[Talyn]

For some stock conversions for the 500 & 590s the thumb safety has proven to be problematic.

 

[KillerFord1977]

My security 88 works just fine

Same for me . To many years handling a regular shotgun to start using a pistol grip these days.

Good idea to match the safety operation of the AR. A lot of officers will only use those two long guns, and the more that can be made the same the better.

I just hope the execution is well done. These are the types of adaptions that often fails miserably.

 

[Talyn]

For a tactical shotgun a pistol grip stock works much better for me.

While my Vang Comp 590 still has a conventional stock, my Benelli M4 has a Mesa pistol grip stock and it works extremely well for that platform.

I agree the similar AR-type safety will work well for those with AR muscle memory.

I'm set for my self-defense shottys but Mossberg is adapting their product line for AR-types.

I agree the safety needed to stay put. That’s a big appeal of the Mossberg over the 870.

As for the sights, they seem to stay put on every AR and a lot of other tactical shotguns. I have MBUIS on a couple shotguns and haven’t had any issues. And I’m not particularly nice to my shotguns.

I was considering how they stand tall and proud. Just like mag fed shotguns, it seems to be a place to hook or snag where a traditional bead sight and tube mag would not have those problems. I'm just playing devil's advocate here. But if ol mr Murphy can sneak up and enforce a law, he will !

 

[bc22wm]

Nope. Just a personal aesthetics thing, I'm sick and tired of redesigned Tactical, AR, Buck Rodgers, looking everything.

in example. (image taken from the web) On the other hand, each to his own.

They look like flip ups to me.

Like these.

Ditto. I can see the AR guys foaming at the mouth for one, but to me it’s a solution in search of a problem. The older proven design works just fine YMMV

 

[Winchester67]

And sights...if one is trying to turn it into a rifle, well, take a rifle. A shotgun should be sleek and naturally pointing for reactive shooting. Sights and side saddles that throw the balance off...I will never be sporting a shotgun festooned with all that extra gear.

 

[Talyn]

Sites come in handy if you want to shoot slugs.

Zero the sights for slug use, and only pop them up when you need to shoot slugs.

These are defensive shotguns not duck/pheasant/grouse/trap/skeet guns.

 

[Winchester67]

Right...but as civilians most of us will be using a shotgun only for close in work, in defensive terms. If the ranges are going to be longer, a defensive position may be hard to justify in court. But if you are in a position to need longer range, I would think you would select a rifle, not a shotgun to begin with. Just my two cents worth...and I am not even saying it is a good deal even at that low price. But I think the tendency from Marketing Guys is to load shooters up with more gear than they need for defense, and in my opinion doing them a great disservice by larding up their shotgun when a trim, fast pointing firearm is what they need, not a "just in case carbine" also by adding slugs, usually on a side saddle that spoils the balance.
