The 590S is easily the single most versatile and adaptable firearm that I own. I have used it for home defense, in a shotgun course, carried it for camping defense, hunted with it and even busted a few clays. It does everything you ask of it without a hiccup.
I bought one of those about a month ago and I swapped out the fore end with a magpul mlock fore end with a hand strap and put on a picatinny rail with a dot and it's awesome.
I'm in deep south Texas. Had a wood furniture 500 as my first 12 gauge when I was 17y/o. Now a old 555y/o, back in Dec2023, I purchased a Moss590S. I hated that big white lettering on the side of the receiver with a passion but I do love the fact it will shoot the mini's and bigger. I'm not sure what I can even handle now because of my lumbar and cervical issues. I just knew I wanted something nice for myself even if it ever sat over a fire place...lol Once I got it home I admired it for a few minutes then went and shipped it to Vegas to Vang Comp for their full upgrade package and I did a two tone cerakote tiger camo on it. Dark olive and black. Took a year and a half to get it back do to their back logs. I still haven't fired it yet, but it sure is bad ass looking.
Love me a mossberg and love this channel. Subscriber for years through thick and thin and so glad y’all are still producing quality material that educates and inspires. Love you guys and have a great day 🫡🇺🇸❤️
Those mini shells looks pretty neat. The only problem is, where I’m from, 2.75” shells are usually the cheapest ones you can get…even cheaper than mini shells.
It’s not that you’re limited, it’s the fact you can hold more of them that makes the short shells more appealing. Why hold 6 or 8 when you can hold 13? Depending on the length of the shotgun. more is better
If one can' t afford a new Mossberg 590S but one has a Mossberg 500, there is a commercially made rubber insert for the Mossberg 500 that allows cycling of mini-shotshells.
Every gun safe should have a Moss 590. Home defense, war, pest control, bird hunting, whatever. You pull the trigger and it goes bang every time. Uber reliable and affordable. I like the S's ability to load staggered sized slugs for greater options defending your turf. I love the semi auto Moss's but for reliability I prefer pump. For $600 you can go wrong. It is the Glock of shotguns. You can spend way more, but its diminishing returns.
I have the 590S shockwave and I'm loving the ability to run the aguila minis. I did run into issues controlling the birds head grip of the shockwave, so I switched the setup up a bit. Overall I love that firearm
Curious, did you trying racking the gun in odd positions using mini-shells, like you would in a real self defense scenario? Because that's where mini-shells start to jam even with adapters or with a Mossberg "S" model because gravity makes the shells turn during the feed cycle resulting in a jam. Just holding the gun level and racking it is not testing it's reliability with mini-shells. In a real situation, you may have to rack the gun with the barrel pointing at the ceiling while hiding behind a corner, for instance. That's how I find out how mine would jam with mini shells. Also racking it with the barrel pointing at the ground can also get them to act wonky during the feeding process. With standard shells, this is never a problem because their length and the design of action won't allow them to ever change position as along as the shotgun is racked with reasonable force. But mini-shells, even with adapters or in an "S" model, still have too much room to move around while being cycled to be truly reliable in a self defense situation.
My friend just got one of these in pistol grip about 3 weeks ago. Perfect to sling over a bag or the shoulder. It's nice for damm sure. Makes me miss my mossberg persuader
Has anybody handloaded something smaller than 1 3/4" shells? I can imagine someone making a 1.33" shell, or a 1" shell, for show. Not much power likely at that point, unless you work some magic with powders and pressures. This community on IV8888 is awesome, much love Y'all from Minnesota.❤
We need a dedicated minishell autoloader. See the SRM 1228 from a few years back (but made by a decent manufacturer). Something like a Mag-7, but with a shortened action would be neat, too.
For a minute there while you were shooting I was like, "you're expending a lot of rounds", and it reminded me of that 'How hollywood uses shotguns' video where the guy keeps cocking the shotgun to intimidate the trespasser.
Good gun! Great video Chad! AND I always enjoy watching your reactions to your shooting VARIOUS SHOTGUN LOADS/SHELLS!! From one Georgia boy another...YA--❤HOO & STAY FROSTY & SAFE!!! (I hardly ever comment but I always enjoy your work) God bless you! Buz
Aguila makes some great ammo. My favorite is their .45 Colt 200gr cowboy loads at 600fps. Great for my 1858 with the cartridge conversion, and really fun in my Rossi M92.
What a great shotgun love the mini option not practical mostly but handy for some in Texas there are huge hog and coyote problem my friend uses mini slugs only for defense of livestock and crops the neighbor house is 600yards so no rifle safely used he said mini slugs drop hogs and coyote last time 25 hogs in his garden he got a hand full with 13 rds slugs 👍👍
Haven’t had a shotgun since I was a little kid. Want one of these. Is there much of a difference in the barrel length? Thinking more for home defense and the range.
This gun is shown on Mossberg website with an M-lok forend. Did you change it out or did Mossberg recently change this ? I just bought gun SKU 51604 590S with 20" barrel optic ready with bead sight.
I like this shotgun but would like a 24 inch barrel. Unfortunately, it only comes with an 18 and 20 inch barrel. A 24 inch barrel and shell tube would give the weapon even more capacity and versatility for all around use. I think there is allot of potential with this for both self defense and hunting!
What inch barrel is that? I noticed the mag tube is exacly flush with barrel where as the mag tubes im seeing online the tube is shorter by inch or two or barrel is a little longer by inch or 2
What are the odds of getting a gas operated semi auto that takes mini shells. It would need an adjustable gas system I would think. Imagine a 940 pro that takes mini shells. 14 rnd 940? Yes please.
if not adjustable gas system, a dedicated minishell autoloader (my preference). See the SRM 1228 from a few years back. Something like a Mag-7, but with a shortened action would be neat, too.
Good video. This exact model isn’t shown on mossberg website. The 20” 590s with threaded barrel, bayonet lug is shown with an m-lok style fore end whereas the one here has a corncob fore end. Anybody know if this is a running change or a special edition or…?
The minis usually have issue cycling if the gun is in the firing position. When I run my 590, I naturally turn the side upward, which actually makes minis run smooth. It has no stock, so it makes sense to run it that way
You may consider trying a Buck Kicker Full choke on that 590S. Bubba Rountree channel has tried lots of chokes, and that seems to be a good one. How is the LOP on that shotgun? 590A1 is kinda long, and some people end up cutting the stock to make it workable to handle.
Any gun can run them technically, but autos won't reliably reload, other actions might get caught up if it doesn't feed right. The 590s always feeds all the shells right.
Turn your receiver sideways when you run the pump and they usually load perfectly fine. The S model is more appropriate for the full size guns you run from the shoulder.
Love my 590A1, it's my go to for work and home/camping.
Damn bro, sounds like you have a shotgun as a EDC! Nice 😎

How are you still able to shoot a shotgun at 555 years old?
@@panzerabwerkanone a year and a half to get back! I don't have nearly that patience.
@@panzerabwerkanonehe’s a vampire
I like that it comes threaded with chokes. It makes the shotgun much more versatile and you can feasibly use this gun for hunting now.
mine didnt
@Jacob-zv7xw weird... he said that it comes threaded for chokes
It's a specific model. I have this one and it takes chokes. Model numbers are on their website
I think it's only the 20-inch barrell models that come threaded, I have an 18 1/2 inch, and it didn't come threaded
Man, I love me some shotgun, especially Mossberg, content. Keep up the great work!
Been wanting to see a rundown on one of these.
I love my 500 mariner with the Opsol mini clip so I can use mini shells.
👍🏻Great video Eric.

I agree. The mini shells could be useful for quite a few things. However they’re double the price and hard to
Find.
Indeed, minis are much more expensive
Minis are low power options, especially god for in home self-defense shotguns. You can get 14 rounds of light buck shot. Great for kids, too.
Get a roll crimper and make your own 😊
@@bobjohnson1633they’re not good for home defense 🤦🏻♂️they’re anemic novelties! I swear to god some of y’all are clueless
You should test the effectiveness of the mini shells Vs 2/34 shells. Ballistics gel
That would be interesting to see.
There are some videos about this.
I like how most people think you are limited to only shooting Mini shells...
It’s not that you’re limited, it’s the fact you can hold more of them that makes the short shells more appealing. Why hold 6 or 8 when you can hold 13? Depending on the length of the shotgun. more is better

Ive been trying to get my hands on some of those minis for over a year now
Just got this one a month ago. The optic cut out is nice and the gun is great. Really like it
I'm thinking about getting this exact model for the choke threading. Are you still enjoying it? Have you ran any other chokes on it?
@@ceeb40 I have been enjoying it! Very solid gun. I haven’t tried the other chokes yet.

Didn’t realize you guys did a video on the Mossberg 940. I’m not finding it on TH-cam and would like to see it.

Gone back to back with minis in a 12 gauge and 410 with a buckshot load and felt recoil is VERY similar.

I could not find the 940 tactical review you referenced several times in this video. Is it not yet released?
Where's the recent 940 video? Can't find it
Nice to see that they added optic mount cut! That's one thing they missed on the early releases.

What does an infomercial on this channel cost these days?
I think you need to buy 2 Moss Mav 88s. Hold one in each arm. That seems like the truest form of an IraqVet 88 88

With the 590s you can also mix & match the rounds.
Yess another 12ga video 🔥
Thx for this video on minis
thank you for the video :)
There is no 940 video up yet hah
41 #4 is basically the same amount of holes in a home invading ninja as two entire 20-round magazines from an AR IN EACH SHOT.
Except they weigh half as much and travel half as fast.
@@bobjohnson1633 That is true. However, per shot, it'll make an AR look weak, and it'll be less likely to shoot through the asshole at 3am.
Hasn't the 590S always been able to shoot mini-shells?
Great combination with the 590S Shockwave!
You needed an aftermarket product that installed in the feed tube to help it not jam up for the older models
@@BobbyCoolBreezeNot on the "S" model.
@@Cityoftrees1911Exactly. The S model has always supported the mini shells.
Except it's a 590. The 590 series doesn't reliably run minis, unless you get the S model of the 590 series.
@@bobjohnson1633right, the 590S shoots the mini-shells, the 590/500 doesn't without an adapter. Which is what I said/asked.
That is such a nice Shotgun😍😍😍
What a set of features. Optic ready, short shells, bayonet lug, chokes? Gimme the alloy trigger group and this might be their best pump.
Great weopen ❤❤❤❤❤ you boss great explanation you always provide thanks for your guidance
I remember that according to the history books i read in school that the Indians called the early settler's rifles boom sticks
Love you family 😮
I have this 500 Persuader 12ga and there is little info I can find on it. Thing is brand new. Need to get out and feed it.
The 590S in shockwave format has my attention
That's what I have, highly recommend.
I have a Winchester sxp marine edition and it runs mini shells fine!!!
Sweet shotgun
Will we be seeing the “Bear on the Box?” Always a good time with Mossberg.
Indeed a Great day
Yooo! I'm noticing a little buffing up! That's great good for you.
Eric can the 590s take cut shells
Haven’t had a shotgun since I was a little kid. Want one of these. Is there much of a difference in the barrel length? Thinking more for home defense and the range.
Where can I purchase that gold bead front sight? Very nice and simple
Broomstick 😊

I just bought gun SKU 51604 590S with 20" barrel optic ready with bead sight.
Does the 590S have the metal trigger group? Mossberg does not mention it as a feature. They still list it as a feature on the 590A1.
They are modified 590ies not A1.

Ok question could I put a flashlight on it
Good stuff.
Do you know the skew # for that one? Im not seeing ones with a mag tube as long as that one
🇺🇸
that is awesome
Eric just saw I am real clear you did say brass right just checking
I`ll watch any vid with a scatter gun. They are just fun.
Love the mini shells. More ammo capacity and easier to carry.
My only question is… is this shotgun NJ compliant?
so this is the one i should buy?
Ain't nothin' worse than someone shootin' at your shiny brass . 😂
Can you load & fire mini and standard shells at the same time?
sure
I've been trying to decide if I want the S or the A1'
Very cool. Needs a heatshield because it looks way cooler.

Hogue makes a 12" LOP for this shotgun for around $70
I usually just blacken the casing with a Zippo easy oasy.
Lol.
Yeah it last until you rub it, right?😂
So what's the transition procedure for adapting to the shorts ?
The 590S just feeds everything, from 1 3/4" to 3" shells, just load it, mixed shell lengths or whatever.
Any gun can run them technically, but autos won't reliably reload, other actions might get caught up if it doesn't feed right. The 590s always feeds all the shells right.

Hope they make a Shockwave S version
they do and have for a while now.
Turn your receiver sideways when you run the pump and they usually load perfectly fine. The S model is more appropriate for the full size guns you run from the shoulder.
