Frequently Asked Questions
What types of ammunition can the Mossberg 590 Persuader chamber?
The 590 Persuader features a 3-inch chamber, meaning it accepts both 2¾" and 3" 12-gauge shells. This includes buckshot, birdshot, and rifled slugs, giving you a wide range of defensive and sporting ammunition options. Always verify that your chosen load functions reliably by testing with your specific shotgun before relying on it for defense.
How does the Mossberg 590 compare to the Mossberg 500 for home defense?
The Mossberg 590 is the heavy-duty evolution of the 500, featuring a thicker barrel with a separate magazine cap (rather than a barrel-mounted cap), a larger capacity magazine tube, and more robust internal components — originally designed to exceed U.S. military standards. For home defense, the 590's 8+1 capacity and enhanced durability give it an edge over the standard 500 in high-demand applications.
Can I add accessories like a light or a pistol grip to the Mossberg 590 Persuader?
Yes — the Mossberg 590 platform has one of the largest aftermarket ecosystems of any pump-action shotgun. You can add rail-mounted tactical lights, sling mounts, side saddle shell carriers, ghost ring sights, and alternative stock configurations including pistol grips or adjustable stocks. Mossberg and numerous third-party manufacturers offer a wide range of drop-in compatible accessories for this model.
