An AR-15 With A Pump-Action Makeover | Mossberg 590RM Review
About this video
Colion reviews two Mossberg shotguns—the 590 RM (magazine-fed) and the 590r (tube-fed)—arguing that their AR-inspired features like rotating safeties, collapsible stocks with raised combs, and rifle-like ergonomics make them feel more like pump-action rifles than traditional shotguns. He breaks down the trade-offs between magazine capacity versus tube-fed reliability, and shares his preference for the 590 RM due to its high capacity and smooth handling. Colion concludes these guns offer a modern defensive shotgun option at an accessible price point.
Key takeaways
- Colion explains the 590 RM uses detachable magazines (5 to 20 rounds) for faster reloads, while the 590r relies on a traditional tube (7+1 or 8+1) that can be topped off during use
- According to Colion, AR-style features like the rotating safety, raised stock adapter for proper cheek weld, and flat-face trigger make these shotguns more intuitive for shooters familiar with modern rifles
- Colion teaches that the magazine-fed 590 RM offers superior capacity and balance, though losing a magazine leaves the shooter single-loading, whereas the tube-fed 590r is always ready to reload on the go
