Is there any advantage to a metal trigger guard? I don't know about you dennis, but my 590 already weighs a TON!!!
Mine is set up almost identical to yours - sidesaddle, 20" barrel but I have a Speedfeed stock on mine which holds four more rounds.
Damn! That thangs heavy!!!

Looks good to me, I especially like that safety and the side-saddle. I wonder if those items would fit on my 500. Not sure what the differences are between the 590 and 500?

The safety and side saddle fit the 500.

I like that safety better than the stock one. Can you reference a source for that please?

Brownells # 080-000-564AC Moss 500 Enhanced Safety Kit 8K24H49 $29.95
Or --------
Brownells #800-000-539AC Moss 500 Safety Button 8K14C95 $19.95
The kit includes the safety button and related safety system parts. The safety button screw employed by Mossberg is a tamper proof/resistant screw. It can be nettlesome to remove because of the slot in the head is made for one way directional rotation. That said the screw can be removed but on occasion cosmetic damage occurs to the head. I’d opt for the kit but that’s up to you.

The main differences b/w the 500 and 590 are the 590 has a metal safety and triggerguard, as opposed to the 500's being polymer. The 590 also has a heavier barrel than the 500.
Some 590's have heatshields, which from what I understand, are pretty close needing an act of congress to get on a 500.
My 590A1 has ghost ring sights, a post front sight, a bayo-lug, sling swivels, and looks like this:

The 590A1 and a base 590 are different. Standard base 590 has the polymer fire control housing and safety button.

The main difference is the magazine tube and barrel. The 590 has a longer magazine and the end cap is a lot like that found on a 870 Remington. The 500 has female threads in the end of the magazine tube and a screw that holds the barrel on. There are cosmetic differences too, the 590 is parkerized and most have a heat shield. My 590 is pre-ban and even has a bayonet lug...

All it needs now is stereo speakers and a satellite dish.

Mossy
Should I put wheels on it so I can pull it behind me? Maybe a beer holder!!
Fully loaded with rounds in the tube, side saddle shell carrier, and the stock carrier (16, slugs and 00buck) she weighs in at 14lbs. I don't tote her very far, very often.

It’s a matter of perceived durability. The non polymer/plastic guard was part of the MIL-Spec.
