Home defense is the main job for this Mossberg 590 Persuader. It is a 12 gauge pump with a 3 inch chamber, a 20 inch cylinder bore barrel with a heat shield, an 8+1 capacity and a matte blued receiver. It includes a pistol grip, and the stock is black.

The cylinder bore barrel means no choke constriction, which makes it a good match for buckshot and slugs. The heat shield protects your hand from a hot barrel. Eight rounds in the magazine is a strong supply for a pump gun. Mossberg's 590 line is known for reliability and a long service history.

A 20 inch barrel is handy indoors and around vehicles. A pump shotgun is a simple tool that works with a wide range of loads, from light birdshot to heavy buckshot. Practice with your chosen defense load so you know how it patterns at house distances.

It can also serve as a truck gun or farm gun for coyotes and pests. Store it safely. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer, where the background check is completed at pickup.
