Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of the rotating safety on the Mossberg 590R and 590RM?

The primary benefit of the rotating safety, similar to an AR-15 style, is improved ergonomics. It allows users to maintain a firm master grip on the shotgun while manipulating the safety, enhancing operational efficiency and control.

How does the 590RM's magazine-fed design differ from the 590R's tube-fed system?
