New mag fed Mossberg 590M

[xXRifleManXx]

I'd like to shoot one, but no I don't want one.
And I love, love my worked in 590A1.
I like to be able to rack a pump properly and smoothly.



If I want 10 on tap I go this route.

Smooth

[smittty]

I don't like that at all!

Seriously don’t understand... the magazine tube is still there... that magazine is ginormous... two more rounds???

[Danodog]

I don’t see a market for this rifle. Expensive mags, bulky profile, and the benefit is only two rounds. I rather keep my existing 7+1 with the 4 extra shotshells in the stock. If you can’t get it done with 8, I don’t know if two more is going to help.

But it is a free country. I like black powder pistols which have no practical use other than enjoyment.

Despite my not being exactly in love with the mag fed Mossberg, I do see a market for anyone who would rather shoot and load their shotgun more like their semi-auto handgun or rifle - that is, insert a fresh mag rather than "shoot one, load one; shoot two, load two; etc." that is the current state of the loading art for tube-fed shotguns. If I were still using shotguns as fighting tools, I'd probably be adopting either the Mossberg or the Remington and working around their quirks for the benefit of quick loading. BTW, I didn't have any problems operating the Mossberg's slide action - the mag did not get in the way for me.

Like many facets of the firearms world, it's not for everyone.

Meh. I’ll stick to the ol double pump chump.

The fore end/forearm still needs it for support when you work the action.

I personally don't like how bulky it is, it seems like the Mag will be in the way. I have a M500 with all the Magpul stuff on it and a Velcro side saddle that I can change out quickly with extras on the belt.

I feel this is a more viable option than a huge box magazine,,, as if push really came to shove and you ran out both your 10 round mags what are you going to do then? Can you port load this thing? If it doesn't have a cartridge lifter that blocks rounds from falling out the bottom that might be a problem. What happens if you remove the mag? Can you port load it then?

Too much not known about running these guns to make a relevant point one way or another about them.

It does look scary and that maybe be a deterrent.

Probably see one at Front Sight next month.

For those who have taken at least 2 fighting shotgun classes- would you consider a mag fed shotgun?

[mossy]

all Mossberg had to do was make a cheap single stack and they would be golden. but no they f**ked up and just had to go tacticool double stack fat as a brick and expensive as he11 mags. this will flop and hard. i love mossberg shotguns (hence my username), no way will i ever be spending money on one of theses things.

Reloading is a slow process for tube fed shotguns. I can see the benefit of a mag fed shotgun to greatly speed up the process.

That being said, it does look like a heavy and unwieldy shotgun. Like others, I also don't understand the long mag tube on a box mag fed shotgun. Perhaps it's just for looks?

I would have to handle one first before passing judgement on the concept.

I like Mossberg. I'd go with the Remington offering this time (if I ever get a mag fed pump).

Any particular reason why?

Any particular reason why?

I don't like the mag design. I love my old 20" Mossberg 500 and my 930.

[crufflers]

I'd rather have less rounds and a shorter mag or better yet a 10-round drum:



Not like it hasn't been done... if they made one like that it could save this model IMHO.
