My M590a1 fits me like a glove...the LOP is perfect...the Ghost Ring sights are the best thing since sliced bread...and it is NOT heavy because I work out enough to heft it without becoming winded.
Enjoy what you have...because it will serve you well...Hell...it's a Mossberg !!
My 2 cents...and my 590a1 :
I have the Brownells safety, but not sure if I have it right. It looks to work both ways. It feels best the way the pic shows.

I am thrilled with the look and feel of this shotgun. Thanks to all of the folks who recommended the safety upgrade (it's awesome!). Can't wait to try it out on some clay targets. Much shorter than my Savage Fox.

Thanks, This side X side was a gift from my dad about 35 years ago. I Preserved it for sentimental reasons. It is one of my favorites.That Savage Fox is just fantastic. You ought to feel a lot of pride to have that SxS.
How do you like the 18.5" 590 compared to the 20" 590A1?

Sorry! Yes I was directing the question to you and well anyone willing to share preference. Thank you!I'm not sure if this question was directed to me or the other poster who went from the 20" 590A1 to the 18.5" 590. That said I much prefer the 18.5" 590. It is very noticeably lighter and easier to swing, not to mention less expensive. Like the other guy said, unless you're slamming it into metal hatches and bulkheads the extra weight of the A1 is unnecessary.
If I had Gobs of money, I would buy one like this just for the coolness factor. Very nice!My M590a1 fits me like a glove...the LOP is perfect...the Ghost Ring sights are the best thing since sliced bread...and it is NOT heavy because I work out enough to heft it without becoming winded.

I bought a Mossberg 590A1 last year. I got the 18.5" barrel. Also added a mag extension for 7 + 1. The LOP was uncomfortable for me. Always seemed just a bit long, so I installed a Magpul stock allowing me to reduce the LOP to 13.5". It's a much better fit for me. I also replaced the OEM safety switch with a Promag safety (not shown here). Now I can actually take it off safe with the shotgun shouldered whereas before it was impossible for me to do.
