Recently got this shotgun for my birthday and have to say that I absolutely love it. It is my very first shotgun ever and only the 2nd time in my life I've shot one so I am a complete novice to this game. I have done my research, and have taken it apart and put it back together again (not easy the first time). Shot approximately 25 shells out of it and towards the end my shoulder was a bit tense due to the weight of this shotgun. Was hoping for the 8+1 variant but mine only takes 7+1of 2 3/4 sized shells. The recoil is what you would expect of a shotgun and by that I mean its like a small canon. You have to practice how to shoot this thing and with it shooting becomes a lot easier and way more fun. My sights aren't sighted right out of the box and are a bit off but for me its just an opportunity to learn how to make the necessary corrections. I love this gun and hope to enjoy it every which way I can while the good Lord keeps me on this earth.

This is a 7+1 12 gauge. Not a 8+1 as described.

Shipped Fast and was delivered as expected. Looks great, I expect it will shoot great once I get to the range.

This is a heavy pig that is a beast, you won't find a tougher shotgun. The barrel is super thick to prevent soldiers aboard ships from denting the barrel when the smack them off bulkhead doors, it's goof-proof. The ghost ring sites are easy to use, the controls are easy to use. Just a heavy duty shot gun, the the ability to use a bayonet, what's not to love? The weight is the only downside, but that extra weight will make you more of a man, grandpa will be proud.

I purchased this gun for home defense. This is an excellently built and functioning shotgun. As this is a close range gun, I haven't had to adjust the sites, you hit what you aim at. The recoil and kick is less than you'd expect from a 12 GA. It's built well (as mentioned) and is super easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone.

Have been nothing but impressed with this shotgun! Functions well, great ergonomics, land love the rifle sights. Added a shell holder that Velcros to the receiver. No complaints at all!

Talk about great home defense shotgun. 9x shells of 00 buck ready for action. Cycles shells very smoothly. Ghost ring sights help a ton for quick accuracy. Very good product. Reliable as they get

Excellent! Heavy duty, great ergonomics. Needed to put aftermarket front sight on to get on zero at 50 yards, not a problem or expensive. Super easy to load(no pinched fingers like the 870. Hit 10 ring at 50 with iron sights. Recoil managable. Fast shipping, very fair price

Could throw this off a balcony and it’d still be OK. Built like a tank. Heavy but reliable. No issues with any of the shells I put through

IMO the 590A1 20" 8 1 is the best pump action Tactical shotgun . After all 590A1 did pass US Military testing .

Love this shotgun. Smooth action. Great quality. Had to get the Ontario M9 bayonet to complete it.

The 590 A1 is a large, pretty long and heavy shotgun-it also is a great home defense/ tactical shotgun if you can handle the weapon's size. Sights are well regulated and nine pellet 00buck produces impressive results to 30 meters; hot twelve pellet 00 buck do the job to close to forty meters. High pressure low brass ammo sticks in the chambers at times. I did some deep cleaning and polishing and things have improved. Very good shotgun.
Bud's price was reasonable, given what is transpiring. Processing and shipping is where Bud's beats their online competition hands down.

Built like a tank and it's a Mossberg... really can't go wrong here. Love the sights. Maybe not the best choice for a house gun due to the weight but if you can handle it ok, it will probably never fail you.

Very well made and strong shotgun. The military uses it so what else is there to know?
A little heavy but that aids in recoil. I added a Magpul stock with spacers for flexibility as it is a tad long in the reach for the trigger for me. I wear 32" to 33" sleeves for dress shirts. It may be fine according to your arm length.

Just did the first range day. I like this gun over all even if I find the trigger and comb height to be way off IMHO. The stock is not the biggest issue because there are great after market options that are better than anything Mossberg makes The trigger in this came very gritty and feels like a stiffer version of my PSL trigger... I've shot sporting versions of this gun that cost 100 bucks less and have a better stock trigger. The loading port is rough and is unpleasant to use bare handed.
All these gripes aside I got this for a steal as part of a christmas pricing so I'm overall very happy with it. I dropped rifled slugs in here and it shoots them about as straight as any shotgun has a right to. I'm otherwise impressed with this configuration.
I plan to swop the front post, to see what can be done with the trigger and to drop in a new stock setup. Those are the 3 "necessary" upgrades to bring this to the level of comfort and shootability I want. From there as a home defense gun I hope to put on a light. For the price despite my gripes I'll give this a solid rating cause I got it for $390. The typical sticker on this config though is overpriced for the crummy front post, trigger, and loading port shortfalls.

I love this shotgun. I’m happy I bought it. Well worth the money spent.

Very nice. I trained and stood watch with the 590A1 in the Navy and after getting out bought an 870. The 870 just never felt right but the price of the Mossbergs were always too high. When the price went down I got the 590A1 and everything is right with world now. Thing thing is so perfect and built like a tank. If you run out of ammo you could use it as a baseball bat.

The mossberg 590a1 arrived in perfect condition, very nice gun. Smooth action for being new. Now for the rub. I was out of town when I ordered it the Tuesday evening before Thanksgiving. Being so close to Thanksgiving and expecting delays till Tuesday evening before placing order. Wanted to make sure I would be in town when it was delivered. To my surprise the gun shipped the next day and arrived that Saturday 2 days before I got home. Obviously not a real complaint but amazed Bud's was able to ship that soon. This is my 7 th purchase from Bud's and I will continue to do so. Best prices, excellent service.

The delivery from Buds Gunshop was flawless;excellent service. The shotgun itself DOES NOT WORK! It cannot load shells from the tube into the chamber reliably. Despite cleaning and lubricating this 590A1, the cartridge stop does not allow any shell (any brand, even snap caps) to leave the magazine tube. The fore end "sticks" when cycling the action. The elevator rubs along the inside of the receiver.
I am obviously very disappointed and will now need to spend my time getting it fixed from Mossberg.
