Hi,

Can anyone who has fired a Mossberg 590A1 SPX comment about the effectiveness of its ported barrel ?

Is the reduction in recoil significant enough to justify the high price tag?

I know it also includes very nice fiber optic sights, metal trigger guard, metal safety button and a heavy barrel. All that adds to its cost.

However, I would be interested in upgrading from my regular 590 to this higher end model if it offers noticeably recoil control benefits

Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

No, not really. The ports will, however, add to a lot of blast and noise, especially with the shorter barrel. No real re-coil reduction you will notice. Just so you know.
 
I shot my Mossberg 500 last weekend next to a guy with an identical 500 that was ported and it was quite a bit louder even with ear muffs.
 
Porting a shotgun barrel does two things
It makes the guy who did it richer and it makes more noise

That's it

If you want to reduce recoil you need to shoot the lightest and slowest loads in the heaviest gun
