This week Mossberg <\/a>unveiled their new \u201cCompact Cruisers,\u201d which are essentially sub-compact versions of their 590A1 and 500 scatter guns. Fit with short barrels and magazine tubes these small shotguns have a 3- or 4-shot capacity.<\/p>\n

These 12-gauge shorties are legally classified by the ATF as AOWs (Any Other Weapon) meaning that to purchase one of these cruisers it will require a $5 tax stamp for transfer in addition to all the NFA-required paperwork and hoops one has to jump through.<\/p>\n

The Compact Cruisers have all the bells and whistles common to the 590A1 and 500 platforms, just in a smaller package.<\/p>\n

Per the press release<\/a>, the 590A1 Compact Cruiser AOW, model 51664, has a 10.25-inch heavy-walled, cylinder bore barrel with front bead sight and 3-inch chamber. It has a cleanout-type magazine tube and improved metal trigger guard and safety button. Both are built on anodized aluminum receivers with matching parkerized finishes on the steel components.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The 500 Compact Cruiser AOW, model 51697, features a 7.5-inch barrel with a cylinder bore and front bead sight. With its shorter magazine tube it has a 2+1 capacity.\u00a0 The 500-series AOW will also be offered with an upgraded ATI package (model 51696) with a customizable side saddle for fast reloads and a rail for an optic like a red dot sight.<\/p>\n

The 590A1 model has a suggested retail price of $980 where the even smaller 500-series model will start at $910.<\/p>\n

  • Barrel: 10.25 inch heavy-walled profile<\/li>\n
  • Sights: Front bead<\/li>\n
  • Cylinder Bore<\/li>\n
  • Overall Length: 19.5 inches<\/li>\n
  • Weight: 5.3 pounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    500 SPECS<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Chamber: 3-inch, 12 gauge<\/li>\n
    • Capacity: 2+1<\/li>\n
    • Barrel: 7.5-inch heavy-walled profile<\/li>\n
    • Sights: Front bead, optional rail<\/li>\n
    • Cylinder Bore<\/li>\n
    • Overall Length: 17 inches<\/li>\n
    • Weight: 4.9 pounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Other features include the ATI T3 pistol grip, constructed of reinforced polymer and designed to absorb recoil energy before reaching the shooter\u2019s hand. Less felt recoil reduces shooter discomfort and the time required to get back on target.<\/p>\n

      The T3\u2019s non-slip textured finish provides for a positive grip. Adding to the shooter\u2019s comfort and ease of cycling, the Compact Cruiser AOWs have contoured polymer forends with a durable, webbed strap. The forend can be folded down, assisting in recoil reduction, or folded up against the magazine tube for storage. Both the stock and foregrip feature a non-reflective black finish.<\/p>\n

      Many of us have a shotgun at the ready for home defense.\u00a0 <\/span>Shotguns are powerful, reliable, easy to use and, depending on the ammo used, they can put a lot of solid hits on target.\u00a0 <\/span>All of that is important, especially when you\u2019re dead asleep at 2 a.m. and a home intruder comes crashing through your back door.<\/p>\n

      Yet, for many, the downside to shotguns for home defense is that you have to have a long gun by your bedside.\u00a0 <\/span>Depending on your living situation, whether or not you have children in the home and where your gun safe is respective to your bedroom (maybe your safe is downstairs and your bedroom is upstairs) this may prevent you from keeping a shotgun or a long gun near your bedside.\u00a0 <\/span>Instead, you may have to rely on a handgun in a smaller yet secure location.<\/p>\n

      It\u2019s not a terrible situation, as handguns obviously work for home defense. But for those most comfortable using a shotgun for the job, these Compact Cruisers are a convenient option to have a highly portable and concealable pump gun at the ready.\u00a0 <\/span>Very cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
