Hey all, I own a 590a1 18.5 inch barrel and was thinking of picking up a plain 500 model with 18.5 inch barrel. question is: is there a noticeable difference in felt recoil between the 590a1 and 500 due to the 590a1 being heavier? Does the plain 500 model still shoot as nice at the 590a1?
Recoil between 590a1 and 500

DTL,
I have 2 500's and a 590 A1. I can't say I notice a difference in recoil. There are ways to manage felt recoil. A proper mount and hold is one as LTB45 suggests. There are aftermarket recoil pads that help as well.
Recoil is only an issue when shooting slugs, buckshot and 3" inch magnums. For bird shot there is no issue.

^^^true that.
The spring is way easy to get out on a 590. The 500 takes a little more work. In fact, I've never removed the spring from a 500 because it looks to me like the only way is by removing the entire magazine tube. No clean out like a 590/835.
