I just bought a 590A1 SPX for a friend of mine.
My observations:
Very gritty action, rust in the chamber upon delivery (very light, and no, it wasn't brown packing grease/cosmoline). A little rust/bluing remover fixed that, and running about 200 rounds through it slicked it up VERY! well.
It's not a pretty gun, the front-sight is a hair canted (3-4*), but it's a brick out-house, and it will hold a 12" pattern at 40 yards with Federal 8-pellet Flite Control reduced-recoil buck, along with shooting slugs to same POA as the buck.
I really like it, and it's a good gun, the Glock of shotguns, as it were.
The mag-spring is weak, though. See about getting a Wolf upgrade or something. (this is for the full-length tube guns)
