I love my 590A1. I switched out the butt stock for an adjustable, pistol grip with a recoil reducing spring inside. I had to put the original stock back on. For some reason I was having trouble sighting down the gun and getting thumped by the position and action of the stock. I kept getting whacked in the cheek/eye. I've been shooting shotguns my whole life and I couldn't find a comfortable position. I had read others had complained about the same stock before I bought it, but I thought it was them. Now the stock is added to my accessories at the bottom of the gun cab. ps...i like to use the Federal/Remington low recoil 00 tactical rounds. they are fantastic! the group they hold is impressive, i did't believe until i started shooting them at the range.

I bought the Mossberg M590A-1....HEAVY....when I run out of ammo I can use it as a club

Not like I ever shopped there before....I wouldn't take a dump at Dicks....

You would never wait for him to remove his pistol as an indicator of when to take action against him. The Trooper would have to be in fear of death or serious bodily injury in order to employ deadly force against someone. It appears the story indicated he was being placed under arrest for burglary or theft, then he ran back into the house and straight for a gun. Common sense dictates what his intent was. If a police officer tells you that you are under arrest and you turn, run and grab a holstered gun you COULD be legally shot the moment you grab the holster.

You HAVE to vote......everyone!!

Didn't this President refer to middle America as "Clinging to their GUNS and religion"? Those few words and tone say much without saying anything.....

I read the brief story and noted a few points right away. When was the last time you were driving and had a confrontation with a people walking? Next, the second paragraph said "he exited his vehicle". Why exit your vehicle? For what? What was the confrontation and how did it begin if he was driving in a car and they were walking? What was so bad that he had to push a bad situation by exiting his vehicle and confronting multiple people that we must assume he knew were somewhat bad? Next, I thought the story indicated he never brandished the firearm, but the guys knew he had it. How did that happen if he 1. didn't brandish it or 2. verbalize that he had one? With firearm ownership comes responsibility. This guy did more damage to the concealed carry movement in 10 minutes than all of the anti-firearm adds. Anyone who reads this story will wonder why he didn't do the responsible thing and drive away? He chose to engage these guys in a chest-bumping argument over words and in the process INCLUDE A FIREARM somehow. Possessing a firearm is damn near sacred and putting your ego ahead of doing the right thing will always elevate an annoying situation (verbal abuse by some jack-wagon) to a life altering situation. If you want to carry, be professional about it and that includes weighing all of your options and possible outcomes. Car-jacking yes. Robbery yes. Assualt yes. Protecting himself or someone else from death or serious bodily injury yes. Name calling and property damage NO.

But their lawyers will later say the Police Ofc's final request to move didn't include the terminology "Pretty please with sugar on top"

I've been using the G22 for duty carry for many years now. I never really liked any of the Glocks but I suppose I'm being hard on the gun. It never fails to fire and does a nice job at getting the rounds down range and grouped. I guess I never liked the trigger pull or the feel of the grip. It may be the "Honda" of the handguns as compared to a nice BMW or Caddy. They look good, feel good, can be expensive and fickle, but the Honda is cheap, starts every time and never leaves you stranded.

To be fair they did not say it was cheapened up, they indicated some small changes were made and in the process the price was kept lower. I kinda read between the lines....maybe?? They did say you can get the same exact gun I have now, but you are going to pay more for it.

I bought the P9 when the gun first came out (they did not even have the .40 cal yet). I've used it as my backup and off duty carry gun now for about seven years (guessing on time). I've never had a problem and absolutely love the gun. I've qualified quarterly with the gun for that same time period, not counting the shooting times when I'm not qualifying. I can't guess how many rounds I've fired, but the gun has malfunctioned MAYBE one time? I can't say enough good comments about my P9, although I have no experience with any of the newer guns. I was told my gun was "cheapened up" a bit to make it more affordable (newer model of my gun was cheapened). I don't know what the difference would be though. I briefly considered the PM 9, but decided against it. Funny thing, at the Police Expo this year I was talking with the Kahr rep and handling some of the newer guns. I could not get over how TIGHT the slides on those guns felt. He told me mine was probably worn and I should consider a new spring. I wasn't certain and my gun does not malfunction so I'll keep going a bit longer and watch it.
