Mossberg 590 Nightstick 12 Gauge Pump-Action

Description

The Mossberg 590 Nightstick is built for anyone who needs a compact, hard-use shotgun in a package that handles in tight spaces. Its pump-action is the same dual-action-bar design found across the 590 line — mechanically simple, tolerant of neglect, and reliable with a wide range of ammunition types and power levels that semi-automatic platforms can be pickier about.

The 14.375-inch barrel keeps the overall length to 26.5 inches, which changes how the gun maneuvers indoors or from a vehicle compared to a standard-barreled shotgun. The cylinder bore choke means no constriction at the muzzle, which is appropriate for defensive distances and keeps the pattern wide from the start — there is no point installing a tighter choke on a gun designed for close work. The matte blue finish on the barrel and receiver resists glare without the reflective surface of a polished blue, which matters when the gun is stored or positioned where light discipline is a concern.

The stock configuration pairs a wood Raptor-style pistol grip with a corn cob forend wrapped in a leather strap. The pistol grip shortens the overall footprint further and changes the grip angle relative to a traditional stock, while the corn cob forend gives a firm purchase during the pump stroke without requiring a full-length furniture setup. At 5.25 pounds, the gun is light enough that felt recoil with standard loads is noticeable, so ammunition selection matters — reduced-recoil buckshot loads are worth considering if the gun will be shot frequently. This is a TALO exclusive.
