Hey there,
I'm new to the site (and guns in general) but I'm looking to make my first firearm purchase in the next month here in Los Angeles. With all of the research I've done the last few months I've come to the conclusion that I absolutely must have a Mossberg 590A1 (she will be mine, oh yes...she will be mine...)
BUT, I'm going cross-eyed trying to figure out if the model I want actually exists. Particularly Item #53693. In the Mossberg online catalogue (http://www.mossbergs.com/images/dcatalo ... atalog.pdf), second to last page, it lists the 53693 under the heading "590A1TACTICALTRI-RAIL—ADJUSTABLE—9SHOT".
Now here's where I'm getting really confused. Right below that when it lists the gun's specs, it is a 6 Shot, but lists the ammo CAP as 9. It also says it has an 18.5 inch barrel, but when I look this model up online it has a 20". So......huh?
My dream 590A1 is the 53693 with the 18.5" barrel with 9-round capacity...Is this a real gun? Is it possible to even have 9 rounds on a 590A1 w/ 18.5 inch barrel? (I'm 5'7" and wouldn't hate the shorter length) Excuse my ignorance, but I've spent my 28 years avoiding guns and so I'm slow to the learning curve here.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Until then, I'm just making sure to finish reading Ayoob's Stressfire II and absorbing as much knowledge as I can on sites like this one and at the range. That said, I'm getting real hungry to finally place my order, just need to know the right model! (Sorry for the novel, I'm a writer.)
