A quick compressed examination of a Mossberg 590 shotgun.
Starting in 1987, the Mossberg 590 was Mossberg’s attempt to militarize their sporting/hunting Mossberg 500 shotgun model for government acceptance as a standard military shotgun. Outside of civilian sporting and hunting users, up until then law enforcement had also accepted the use of the Model 500.
Mossberg had competition in the personal defense, law enforcement and military shotgun market from Remington and Winchester. So expanding the Model 500 line to a specific made for military accepted service version may have seemed the competitive direction to grow both its commercial and governmental business. The new work eventually led to a Mil-Spec Mossberg 590A1 version.
The Mossberg 590 shotguns are still in production, but the U.S. military has adopted other service shotguns since the M-590 was introduced in the late 1980s. The Mossberg 590 in the video dates to 1990.
