First of all, hello. This is my first post on this forum, I've been a member on other forums but, well, it seems like this one is the most informative so I've made the switch.
Anyway, all I have are two single-shot 12 gauges, which are delightful for shooting clays, but I've decided it's time for something that can be used in potential self-defense scenarios.
I've narrowed it down to a Mossberg 590A1 or 590/500, regardless of which model I get, I definitely want the type that holds 8+1 with a 20" barrel.
From what I vaguely understand, the difference is that all parts in the 590A1 are metal, whereas some parts in the other models are polymer. My question is this: which parts in the 590/500 models AREN'T metal? Depending whether or not I consider those to be important parts, I'll use that to make my decision.
Money isn't a factor here so I'm not asking which is better for the price or anything like that. If anyone is familiar with which parts in the 500/590 models are made of plastic instead of metal, I'd greatly appreciate your sharing it or providing somewhere that lists all this information in detailed comparison.
Thanks and I'm happy to be part of the forum
