For what?

Yes, At sometime in the future, I'm going to correlate all these polls and some other polls, to come up with, the "All Around, Best Pump Shotgun".

Where is the "none of the above" then?

Depends on budget, intended use, and frequency of use.

Bump to the top

I dropped my 500 in some muddy goop and had to pull it from about a foot down, I rinsed it off in the lake and shot a duck.

It got a deep cleaning within the hour.

Still one of my favs.

Having owned a lot of Pump shotguns, I recently bought a maverick 88, other than the safety it appears to be the same as the 500s that I have owned. Bought a 20" barrel for it and am happy so far. Have no experience with the 590. Of the three listed I am OK with the Maverick

I own a 20" bbl Mossberg 500. This loosely-fitted rattletrap has been flawless, though I've only fired probably 200 rounds through it (mostly 2 3/4" shells). I see no need to "move up" to a 590 for home defense. If I was buying a longer barreled shotgun for sport, I'd look harder at a Remington 870 Wingmaster, but to be honest I think a Moss 500 would be fine, too, and it would probably save me a couple hundred bucks.

1 vote for the 500.

edit: I didn't see the poll was closed! Well, I would have voted for the 500

I have a Mossberg Country Squire pump gun. It was, iirc, the father of the 500.
works just fine after all these years.
