Excellent choice in the 590 for home defense.
The 590A1 SPX with a bayonet will keep people away from you.
I bought one for a tactical shotgun course. Our military buys this pump shotgun. It is built like a tank. I put a pistol grip and side folding stock on mine.
Generally speaking, if you follow the instructions of an LEO, you won’t get your stoopid azz shot.
I always thought that my politeness came from my proper home training. Who knew that it came from the fact that I went around armed?
Before that tragic boat accident there was a Mossy 88 near to hand. It was a real Maverick that kept me safe when in a danger zone. I never had to put a bad guy on ice, man or cook his goose, and I never lost that lovin’ feelin for it. If only it would’ve been able to swim…or float.
Maybe we can get some Mossy 590S’s to replace our 88s at the bottom of the Marianas Trench?
