Are they over hyped or worth the money?
I picked one up used and then searched what they sell for and went :shocked3:

A HD shotgun is like a super sexy hot girl that likes to have sex but is dumb as rocks.......it's really cool to fondle it and hang out with it for a while but eventually you'll get bored. Got rid of all my HD shotguns and now the benelli is the go to and I have a coach gun I had cut to 18 on the nose......that's just to fun to sell

I bought one for my son's birthday.

It's what he wanted.

They are great shotguns.
I've had mine since 2000.

I put the Surefire fore grip and light combo and pistol grip. ( only issue is you need to modify the knife lug to install the Surefire.
It runs flawless.

They're nice guns but no doubt pricey for a pump gun. I happen the REALLY like running 00 buck through an HD style shotgun so I have been sorely tempted to buy one.

I never had an issue with mine. Always worked. What more can you ask for?

Jimbob2.0 · May 5, 2017

Its a shotgun, not really sure for non military use what the steel receiver gets you. Like all semi short shotguns its loud. I have one its a little bit of tacticool.

There are cheaper options if you want barebones.

It's nice and I like it. I guess its sticker shock since I never priced them.

590A1 has an aluminum receiver, not steel.

I have two 590A1s and they are fantastic. I wanted the military specs so the price was worth it to me. The short one is my HD gun. 18.5" barrel. 7 round mag. Magpul stock with no spacers make it very manageable, compact home defense gun.

You could just get the 590 if you don't need the heavy barrel, aluminum trigger group, and aluminum safety button. Save a few dollars and get the same function and reliability.

Yup you are right, always thought they were steel just magnet tested mine and not. Its one of the Talo guns with the fiber sights that came with a bayo etc. Frankly I rarely shoot the thing as I have a plain 590 that I use as a truck gun.

The 590A1 is the one in the middle, my beater 590 is right below it.

Here's a stock pic of mine.

The only reason I'd get one is for the bayonet attachment.

Rob1035 · Jun 16, 2017

As much as I'd love an M4, my next purchase will most likely be a 590a1 of some flavor, especially since they are pretty lefty friendly.

They make the 590A1 in a lefty version, now.
