Hey guys
I have owned a couple 590 A1 s over the years
Eventually I sold my first and then a couple years later couldn’t resist buying another.
they definitely have their appeal with their heavy duty build and durable exterior
but I never end up using them for anything and I have plenty of other 12 gauge is there much more practical
I’ve got super black eagle 2 Benelli
Supernova with three different barrels
The Remington 870 super slugger with extra turkey barrel
20 gauge savage 220
And the list goes on
All of those guns I use regularly.
The 590 A 1 sits and its case near my bed
sure I love the badassness of the overall build and Bayonet lug
But damn the sucker is so heavy and it doesn’t take any chokes so for hunting it’s virtually useless and I cannot imagine a scenario anymore where I would grab that as a survival gun I’d be better off with one of my turkey guns with multiple Chokes for multiple purposes and weighs less. not to mention one of my many rifles…
So should I sell it?
What are your guys thoughts on this very interesting and somewhat unique shotgun?
Are they more of a gimmick?
