I purchased a 590a1 from the scottsdale gun club 3+ years ago. I am finally looking to make some upgrades to it when I came across some kind of disturbing posts about the difference between the 590 and 590a1.
My reciever says 590a1. my barrel is thicker and heavier than a 590's and it is parkerized with a bayonette lug too. However, my trigger guard is clearly not made of metal. I also only have a front bead sight. As far as my trigger assembly, I am going to have to take that apart when I get home to check that out. The safety is also a plastic piece.
Is there a reason that I would have a 590a1 without a metal trigger guard? Is there some other things I should check to see if its a 590 or a1 version?
