Mossberg 590 Tactical 12 Gauge Shotgun 6+1 18.5" Barrel 50778

The Mossberg 590 Tactical delivers proven pump-action reliability in a compact defensive configuration. This 12-gauge platform combines military-proven durability with civilian practicality for home defense and tactical applications.

What Makes This Different

The 590 series features dual extractors and twin action bars that provide smoother cycling and enhanced reliability compared to single-extractor designs. The cylinder bore barrel optimizes patterns for close-range defensive loads, while the 18.5-inch length maintains maneuverability in confined spaces. Mossberg's tang-mounted safety allows ambidextrous operation, setting it apart from cross-bolt safety competitors.

Key Features

• 6+1 capacity with 3-inch chamber capability for versatile ammunition selection
• 18.5-inch cylinder bore barrel optimized for defensive ammunition patterns
• Dual extractors and twin action bars for enhanced feeding reliability

Field performance demonstrates consistent cycling with both 2¾-inch and 3-inch shells across temperature ranges. The cylinder bore configuration patterns effectively with 00 buckshot at defensive distances of 7-25 yards. Law enforcement agencies have documented reliable function through thousands of training rounds. The synthetic furniture maintains zero shift in temperature extremes from -20°F to 120°F.
