Finally got around to gettin' a cannon for the house! Took it out of the box and straight to the range for some breaking in! Got around 80 shells through 'er before the shoulder wimped out. 9 round mag dumps and full power slugs beat the crap outta my old shoulder! Didn't experience a single reliability issue although the pump was a little stiff after firing a slug. Once she was broken in and re-oiled, the stiffness went away. I'm really liking the ghost ring sights! My last few shotguns were bead sights, but they were also hunting guns. She shot a little low at 20yds but a few twists of the rear ghost ring adjuster and slugs and shot were right on! I was a little skeptical about the 590 platform since all the cool kids are running the 870's and benelli's. I was worried as I couldn't figure out how to perform the "slug changeover" drill....Something that we've had to do during the side matches after the IDPA pistol matches. Running this drill on the 870's and benelli's is different than on the mossy's. But to my surprise, the 590 get's it done with less hassle! Thanks google! Utilizing the "elevator" on the 590 over the "lifter" of the 870, the mossy user gets away with one less step! Can't wait til the weather clears up and I can get this thing to the range again!
