I believe that it is worth the money to get the 590A1.
The Mossberg 590a1 is an extremely tough firearm, built with an aluminum receiver, metal trigger guard, and metal safety. The 590 has proven it's self in combat. I can tell you how durable the 590a1 is because I carry it with me when backpacking for 5+ days.
It's not that the 500 is a bad gun. In fact if you never put your gun through the extreme you will be fine. But if you want a rugged gun with a proven reputation through mother natures worst, then the 590a1 is for you.

Not likely. The 930 is a gas operated semi-automtic. The 500 is a pump.
The model 500 Mossberg is a particular style introduced in 1961 by O.F.Mossberg & Sons. It has undergone many style changes over the years, but 500A, B, C, or D are not style changes. A model 500A is the 12 gauge version of the model 500. 500B is 16 gauge. 500C is 20 gauge and 500D is .410 (which is actually a caliber rather than a gauge.
If you have a 500, and it is a 12 gauge, it is a 500A. The "A" designates it as a 12ga. A 500B is a 16ga, a C is a 20ga, and an E is a .410.
I acquired a Mossberg 500 AG shotgun. It has never been fired and might be 10 years old. What is the value?
