With more than 12 million manufactured, the Mossberg 500 series is one of the most produced shotguns in history and is used by civilians, law enforcement and militaries around the world. New for 2025, the company is introducing its 590 Professional series, “factory custom” shotguns designed and tested for the ultimate in durability and reliability.
The 590 Professional series take Mossberg’s military-grade 590 and give it further enhancements.
Mossberg’s Professional models are given an “enhanced assembly and quality-control process” when they are built. Special features shared throughout the Professional series include Cerakote or Marinecote finishes, a re-designed loading port and an oversized, ambidextrous safety, plus all of the standard 590 features, like dual extractors, steel-to-steel barrel and bolt lockup, twin action bars, heavy-walled barrels and a metal trigger guard.
The 590A1 Professional is available in nine different versions, with numerous barrel lengths, furniture and finish options.
Mossberg is offering three models in its 590 Professional series. The 590A1 Professional is available in nine versions, with options including 20”, 18” and 14” barrels, nine shot, seven shot, or six shot under-barrel tubular magazines, Cerakote or Marinecote finishes, and Magpul or compact Mossberg furniture. They have an optics-ready receiver with low-profile sights—a ghost ring rear and fiber optic front sight with protective wings. Removing the rear sight allows for the direct mounting of optics that use a RMSc footprint. Mossberg 590A1 Professional shotguns have MSRPs between $980 and $1,435. The model with a 14” barrel is considered a short-barreled shotgun (SBS) under the provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA).
Professional series 590M models use Mossberg’s detachable box magazine system.

They have an MSRP of $938 for standard-stocked models and $1,106 for the models with Magpul furniture.

Furniture is an Aftershock bird’s head grip with a compact fore-end with M-Lok slots. The Breacher has an MSRP of $1,225. Due to its shortened overall length, the 590M Breacher Professional is an SBS and comes under the provisions of the NFA.
