This includes all variations of the Model 500 and 590, including the AT, hunting and field models, tactical, military and law enforcement models, and special purpose models (like the Persuader, Cruiser and the "Mariner").
Please check the talk page for additional variants not shown on the main page.

Mossberg & Sons . With over 11 million shotguns produced, the Mossberg 500 series is one of the most prolific shotgun designs in history, with its main competitor being the equally prolific Remington 870 . Originally only available with wood furniture, the Mossberg 500 is available in a variety of finishes and furniture options. The two most common models are the Field and Persuader shotguns. The Field model features a 28" barrel. The Persuader is the standard tactical and home defense model with a black synthetic buttstock and a black riot foregrip with either an 18.5" barrel or a 20" barrel. Mossberg also had a combat police model, the 500AT, which was not advertised for sale among sporting catalogs but was strictly aimed at police sales. However, many police trade-in 500ATs have since entered the consumer market.

The Mossberg 590 shotguns differ from the 500 series primarily because of the design of the cap for the shell tube. The 500 series shotguns are designed for easy swapping of barrels. The 590 magazine tube is designed for ease of cleaning and maintenance. The "nub" at the end of the 590's magazine tube was originally designed for holding the ring of the M7/M9 Bayonet when the bayonet is attached to the lug underneath the barrel. Other versions of the 590 maintain this style of end cap, even those without bayonet lugs.

Some have the heat shield and some don't. What's confusing is that the full stocked Mossberg 500 is called the Persuader, however, the Persuader always came with an optional pistol grip so that the user could swap stocks. Which is why we see shotguns identified as "Persuaders" with pistol grips, however, that is a modification made by the owner and not a factory configuration. All shotguns that came from the factory with pistol grips are "Cruisers". Not to be confused with Mossberg 590 Cruisers or 590 Compact Cruisers (see below).

Due to the seemingly "futuristic" appearance of the Mossberg in this configuration, the 500 Bullpup was frequently used during the 1980s and 1990s in futuristic/sci-fi movies (most notably, RoboCop The Running Man

These shotguns are assembled in Texas out of parts primarily manufactured in Mexico, contributing to its lower price point compared to the standard Mossberg 500. The Maverick 88 is virtually identical to the Mossberg 500, with many parts and accessories, save trigger groups, interchangeable on both guns. The most obvious difference is the location of the safety; the safety of the Maverick 88 is a crossbar located on the trigger guard, as opposed to the Mossberg 500's safety which is at the rear of the receiver. The Maverick 88 also does not include sling mounts.
