The Mossberg 590 is the heavier-duty sibling of the 500, built with a thicker barrel wall, metal trigger guard and safety, and a magazine tube that unscrews at the muzzle for cleaning — features that came out of military testing. This Persuader is the defensive configuration with a 20-inch barrel and ghost ring sights, which are far faster and more precise than a bead when you need to place slugs. The Bantam stock shortens length of pull for smaller-framed shooters, and pairing that with 20 gauge produces a home-defense shotgun that a wide range of people can actually handle and shoot well.
