Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main ergonomic improvement in the Mossberg 590R and 590RM shotguns?

The primary ergonomic enhancement is the introduction of an AR-15 style rotating safety selector, allowing shooters to manipulate the safety while maintaining a firm grip. This, combined with a redesigned stock for better cheek weld, significantly improves handling.

What are the key differences between the Mossberg 590R and 590RM?

The main difference lies in their feeding systems. The 590RM is a magazine-fed shotgun available with detachable magazines of various capacities (5, 10, 15, 20 rounds), while the 590R is a traditional tube-fed shotgun with a 6+1 capacity, both featuring the new rotating safety and stock.

What accessories can be mounted on the Mossberg 590R/RM forend?

The shotguns feature a polymer forend with M-LOK slots. This allows for the easy and secure attachment of various accessories, such as tactical lights, lasers, vertical grips, or other M-LOK compatible attachments.

How does the magazine-fed design of the 590RM affect its balance?

The magazine-fed design of the 590RM shifts the weight of the ammunition to the center of the firearm. This centralization of weight contributes to improved overall balance compared to traditional tube-fed shotguns, potentially making it quicker to handle.
