I think it is a very proficient shotgun but I don't like the breach part of the barrel at all it gets caught on everything and it makes it hard to clean it because it catches on all the cleaning swabs but other than that it is a very nice shotgun

The gun is probably one of the cheapest and nicest Mossberg 590's you can buy. The gun does not have the metal trigger housing and safety selector like the 590A1. The barrel thickness on this gun is much larger than the rest and I ran into a couple issues fitting a Magpul forend on it. I found that using just about any aftermarket forend on this model takes some fitting to get it to work. The internal parts are a bit rough on the finish causing the gun to feel pretty tight while cycling the pump action. This goes away after a couple hundred rounds of use. Overall, I am pretty happy with this gun and would buy another one if I found reason too.

This was my first time buying a firearm online. I have been lurking on here for two years and finally decided to pull the trigger (pun intended) on a shotgun I’ve had my eyes on. I bought the 12-gauge Mossy 590 Stand-off and she looks real good by my nightstand. I got her new for $345 vs $595 at my local gun shop... Shipping only took 2 days and the transfer was smooth. I’ll definitely be buying from Buds again in the very near future.

This is the second one I have purchased and I will be adding a few more to the collection just for the sole purpose of saying that I have one of the baddest damn shotguns everbuilt, made, created, dreamed up. This thing is a beast if you can find a problem with it you don't need to be shooting. I do wish they would correct the capacity because it actually holds 8 1 not 7 1. The breaching tip on this gun is better than a dagger if you run out of ammunition you can either beat the person to death with it or you could stab a hole clean through them with the tip of the this Barrel.

Love this shotgun. Action was a little stiff at first, but it's great now. Fast to cycle, easy to handle, much easier to load than my 870. I'm finding I'm more of a fan of the mossberg controls than the remington. It's tons of fun to shoot, and I'm very happy with it.

Just bought this Mossberg 12 gauge Standoff shotgun from Buds. Great service and fast delivery as usual. Mine is a Mossberg 590, not a 500. Replaced the standard plastic grip with a Hogue Tamer Shotgun Pistol Grip made of recoil absorbing rubber. Great grip with no recoil bite. Also added the Center Mass laser by LaserLyte. This laser sends out a light pattern that equals the spread pattern of buckshot. Shoots accurately from the hip. Great combination for social purposes. Highly recommended!

Just received my standoff and nothing reeks macho like a sawed off 12 gauge, traded my persuader to a friend and regretted that move, this is it's replacement and can't wait to dress it up, I love that they put "Old Glory" on the receiver and forearm strap. The only down side was it took 8 days for delivery, I'm 80 miles away from Bud's, but with the holidays it should be expected.

By far, one of THE baddest shotguns ever built, both in looks and superior workmanship. The 8+1 capacity is just the icing on the cake and to put the cherry on top the wicked door breaching standoff barrel tip. A bit heavy but that's what a WELL built shotgun should be, IMO anyway. In all honesty this should be the shotgun used by SEAL team 6 and all other spec op teams. Even if it could malfunction you have a very large, sturdy "club" to beat someone with. Slugs, buckshot, birdshot, specialty ammo, you name it, this beast just says give me more. 10,000 stars for the gun and Bud's. I will buy another one, just because!!!!!!

Flawless transaction through buds as usual First off this shotgun looks insanely bada**. When you open the box you are immediately wowed at it aesthetically. Ive personally shot close to 100 rounds of both slugs and birdshot though this shotgun without any issues. I highly recommend this shotgun

Just went to the range. Only was able to discharge 25 shells,but no issues. Shot like a champ. Man you can feel the power in this. Very happy with my purchase of the mossberg standoff from buds. I do alot of my firearm shopping from a local mom and pop here in Florida. I can usually get great deals from them. They were able to get it to me for $470. I got it from buds for $330 and change. Even with the transfer fee it was $100 less from buds. I have always been a mossberg fan. Now I'm a Buds fan as well.

Great shotgun and a great price. Quick disclaimer: the model is actually a 590, not a 500. Everything else is correct, barrel length (23 in), capacity of rounds (8+1)etc. Little on the heavy side, but for a full-steel frame with the extended tube it's not too bad. Fire slugs, 00 buck, #4, #2, and its working great after 500 some odd rounds. No problems whatsoever. Love the breacher barrel, nice little add-on, and the fore-grip strap is securely screwed into the pump action grip with 4 screws. Starts off a little hard when shooting, but after lubing it up its pristine to shoot every time. The finish of matte black can be clearly seen and theres quality work done to it. The U.S. flag with "MOSSBERG is sown onto the fore-grip and isn't coming off anytime soon. If there was a problem I HAD to point out...maybe the flag that looks painted on the side of the receiver. Might scratch off eventually and I would've liked it to be engraved instead but that's me being picky. Love the size of it but I had to get a butt stock for it because although its great to have for a home defense, taking it to the range took a toll on my wrists after going through some slugs. Adding a top-folding stock doesn't add too much weight to it, and it's still reliable for home defense in any tight corners. Overall, it's an easy pick with this model over any other model, especially with the price. Quality does not reflect the price in this case, as this should cost way more for the great workmanship you're getting out of this one. 5/5

First purchase from Buds, and definately not my last! Fast Shipping and NO Hassels. Thanks again!

This is my third purchase from Buds and I must say there is no letting up. They do a great job and their prices are great. I bought this gun for home defense (and fun) and looks alone might do the trick. I was worried the size would be too big for home defense, but I am glad I went with the longer tube. The 8+1 (2 3/4) and 8+1 (3 inch) is nice. The finsh is what you would expect for matte black and the quality is there. The action on this gun is a litle rought to start, but after a thorough cleaning and lube job it seems to working better. That is not to say it doesnt work well; it is just not silky smooth yet like some of my other shotguns. BTW, took a chunk out of my finger when unboxing it...that stand off breech end is wicked.

Great Gun! I like the Standoff barrel a lot, I put a folding collapsable ATI stock on it. It is heavy, I believe the standoff barrel is the heaviest barrel in the 590 line up, this things a BEAST!~

Contrary to the description I believe this is a Mossberg 590. The box says 590 and so does the receiver. I had also purchased the Mossberg parkerized heat shield for this gun only to find out that the heat shield is only for "standard" barrels. Unfortunately Bud's customer service was unable to answer any questions I had about the gun or heat shield before I bought it. Apparently they must not have any knowledge of, or access to the merchandise since all they could tell me was what I could read for myself on the website. I guess you are supposed to gamble by buying it and seeing if what you get is what you thought it is. This doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling doing business with Bud's but since you can't beat the price I gambled and bought them. With slight modifications, plenty of swearing / trying not to damage the finish on the barrel, and purchasing longer screws I was able to make the heat shield work. I would recommend not getting the heat shield as it is more hassle than it's worth trying to make it fit. The flag looks cheaply "printed" on the receiver. I'm going to guess they used some sort of mask when the receiver was anodized to produce the flag image. I don't see this as a negative, just letting anyone know who would be expecting some sort of engraving. The magazine does hold eight 2.75" shells, so technically it's an 9 shot, 8+1 shotgun. I have not fired it yet so I can offer no feed back on how well it shoots. I will say the door breacher "standoff" coupled with the weight of the gun would make a formidable club should you still need a weapon after firing 8 rounds and not have time to reload. The fit and finish is what you'd expect from a quality Mossberg firearm.

This is a fun and functional shotgun. The price was 100 dollars less than any local store.
