I'm a little new to shotguns, and I was wondering if the Mossberg 590 could shoot slugs(and if so, is it accurate)? Any other opinions on the gun would be appreciated too. Thanks.
 
I don't know much about Mossberg shotguns, other than they're supposed to be right up there with Remington in terms of quality and reliability. I do know that if you have a smoothbore shotgun, then you should use rifled slugs, but if you have a rifled barrel, then use sabot slugs.
 
Yes they can shoot slugs unless you have a super tight choke on. It will shoot best with a looser choke. I had a 590 for a few years and have trialled them for work. I think the 870 is a tad better, but where the Mossburg shines is the location of the safety. IT has a tang safety and is much easier to use with either hand.
 
The 590 has a fixed cylinder (maybe improved cylinder) so slugs will be fine as ling as they're rifled slugs.

I've not heard of a 590 with a rifled barrel but if such a beast were to exist, you'll want to use sabot slugs.

The 590 is an excellent gun, If you are in the market for one you should buy it and have no regrets. It is a very well made and solid firearm. I highly recommend them.
