To be honest, if you have a 590 you can't go wrong.

Older 870 Police or Wingmaster would be my first choice. Express is ok not a total deal breaker.
The Mossberg 500 series are on par with the Rem 870 and comparing new production I would choose a Moss over a Rem even though I like the safety location on the Rem870 more.

Still 590, nothing’s changed drastically enough to improve that.

FIFY.

I am pretty vested in the 870 myself but the 500/590 is better though out than the 870.

If you're going to go with a Mossberg, pick the 590. If Remington ever gets its QC issues fixed, the 870P

I'm an old dude. I prefer the 1887.

590A1

Better safety location then Remington
Better slide release location
Loading gate site flush against bottom of bolt, facilitates easier reloads then spring loaded gate on 870
Heavier barrel

I say this as the owner of 3 870s and zero 590A1s.

You can never go wrong with a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500.

One that takes a bayonet.

While the sound of a pump may scare off neerdoewells, a bayonet adds an additional point you can make about their health to dissuade them from making bad choices. Additionally you won't have to worry as much about running dry during reloads. Last, you could be the first ARFCOMMER with a bayonet self-defense use story and become a legend.

Know a couple of people who use their Nova's as a loaner/beater...and never have problems. Cabelas sells an HD version (4+1 with ghost rings) for $400 that would double as a great truck gun. They also sell turkey and rifled slug barrels for it.

I had a spare barrel cut down to 20" and use a MODB Browning BPS. Magnetic HIVIZ on the business-end rib, weapons light, sidesaddle and a tang safety. Converts back to a duck gun in about two minutes, and would make an outstanding club in a pinch.
