Mossberg’s new 590R and 590RM shotguns are what happens when a classic 590 meets AR-15 ergonomics. In this episode, we break down the AR-style rotating safety, collapsible stock, flat-face trigger, and redesigned action release that let you run a pump gun without breaking your master grip.

We compare the tube-fed 590R to the mag-fed 590RM—7+1 vs up to 20 rounds of 12-gauge firepower, topping off as you go vs fast magazine swaps—and talk recoil, reliability, and real-world use as a tactical or homestead defender. If you’re an AR shooter who’s always hated traditional shotgun safeties, this is the evolution you’ve been waiting for.
