Description
The Mossberg 590 Retrograde 12 Ga is a shotgun chambered in 12 Gauge with a 20-inch barrel and a 8+1 capacity. It comes with a matte blue barrel finish, a walnut stock and bead sights.
Mossberg 590 Retrograde 12 Ga Overview
The Mossberg 590 is one of the most trusted pump-action shotguns for home defense and duty use. It adds a larger magazine capacity and a heavier construction than the 500, while keeping the same simple, ambidextrous controls.
Design and Features
It uses dual extractors, twin action bars, and an anti-jam elevator for reliable cycling, and the magazine tube can be cleaned by removing the cap. The tang safety works for both left- and right-handed shooters. This configuration has a matte blue barrel finish, a walnut stock, bead sights, and Cylinder Bore chokes.
Handling in the Field
The 590 is a natural choice for home defense: load it with buckshot, add a light, and practice regularly with the loads you plan to use.
Action and Trigger
The pump action cycles smoothly on twin action bars, and the action release sits behind the trigger guard.
Sights and Optics
Mount the optic of your choice with quality rings or a mount, and zero it with the load you plan to use.
The 12 Gauge Cartridge
The 12 gauge is the most popular shotgun gauge in America, with the widest selection of loads for clays, upland birds, waterfowl, turkey, deer slugs, and home-defense buckshot.
Setup and Accessories
Set your shotgun up for its job: hunters will want a sling and a few choke tubes, clay shooters may add a recoil pad, and a home-defense setup benefits from a weapon light. Pattern every load and choke combination you plan to use.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the shotgun and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the action and choke threads. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
Product Notes
Shotguns are only as good as the load and choke you pair them with. Birdshot in the 7.5 to 9 range is right for clays and small upland birds, heavier shot sizes for pheasant and waterfowl, and buckshot or slugs for deer and home defense. Pattern the gun on paper at the distance you expect to shoot, and check that your shells match the chamber length stamped on the barrel.
State Laws
Magazine capacity limits, feature restrictions, and transfer rules vary by state and locality. Check your local laws before ordering, and ask your receiving dealer if you are unsure whether this configuration is legal where you live.
