I want to purchase a Mossberg 12 gauge pump shotgun with 18.5" barrel and ghost ring sights for self defense. I would prefer the 590 for the lighter barrel because I am not going to be banging it against metal bulkheads, but it doesn't look like Mossberg offers a model in the configuration I want unless I go with the 590A1.
Are the barrels interchangeable and does Mossberg even sell a lighter barrel with a front ghost ring sight? I don't see one on their website. Also does anyone know how much the weight difference between the 2 barrels actually is? I'm a little confused because according to their site the 590A1 model I'm looking at is listed as lighter than the 590 with similar features. That can't be right...
