The Mossberg 590 holds 8 shells in the magazine plus 1 shell in the chamber for a total of 9 shells. This is when using 2 3/4 inch shells. Reduce the capacity by 1 when using 3 inch shells. The 8 shot Model 500 Persuader holds 7 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber for a total of 8 shells.
The Model 535, new for 2005, is similar to the Model 500, but with a lengthened receiver that can fire 3.5-inch (89 mm) shells, in addition to 2.75-inch (70 mm) and 3-inch (76 mm) shells. The 535 is a less expensive alternative to the Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag, but the 535 lacks the 835's overbored barrel.
