    Thanks very much for the heads up, and stay safe.
    Serious, it was HB 1819 85R signed by Governor Abbott. Here is a link to the language: http://www.legis.texas.gov/tlodocs/8...l/HB01819F.htm and an article from TTAG: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...s-hb-1819-85r/

    That's what I assumed until I saw one in person.

    Thanks for clarifying that Tom.

    Yes you are correct, my 590a1 is all metal where as my 590 is not.

    Good tip. Thanks for that too Tom.

    I'm an 870 fan. Especially in the Tac14/Shockwave/Stakeout (this is the Stakeout) I think it fills an interesting niche.

    I thought a metal triggerguard was one of the differences between 500s and 590s.
    Huh.

    Nice. Thanks for posting. What is the difference between the stakeout and the tac 14? Is that a 4 or 5 shot version? Is that factory porting?

    I've got to admit my fascination with short 870s goes back to the USMS 12" 870s and that has made me rethink the Shockwave. Because I'm kind of cheap, a LE trade in 870, AOW, and a hacksaw would scratch my itch for less than the 14" Mossberg or Remington.
