Product Description
The 590A1 put the necessary features all together in one package capable of use universally. This specific model, the Retrograde, is a call back to the classic wood-stocked shotgun of old. 12-gauge is the only caliber available for the 590A1 Retrograde, and that’s the traditional shotgun fighting round. Admittedly, it offers a lot of lead per shell. At 7-pounds, the 590A1 Retrograde isn’t a lightweight shotgun, but it’s also not a beast that will burden you.
