The Mossberg 590 Persuader in 410 gauge delivers proven pump-action reliability in a compact, manageable platform. This tactical shotgun combines the stopping power of 3-inch shells with reduced recoil characteristics that make it accessible to a broader range of shooters.
What Makes This Different
The 410 gauge configuration sets this Persuader apart from standard 12 and 20 gauge tactical shotguns by offering significantly reduced felt recoil while maintaining effective terminal performance. The cylinder bore barrel optimizes patterns for defensive distances without the need for interchangeable chokes. The 18.5-inch barrel length meets federal requirements while providing maximum maneuverability in confined spaces.
Key Features
- 6+1 capacity with 3-inch chamber capability for maximum versatility
- 18.5-inch cylinder bore barrel optimized for defensive applications
- Matte blued finish provides corrosion resistance and reduced glare

Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling with both 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells across various loads from target rounds to defensive ammunition. The 410 gauge produces manageable recoil that allows for faster follow-up shots compared to larger bore shotguns. Indoor range sessions show effective pattern density at typical home defense distances of 7-15 yards.
