This site makes it hard to post pics without an outside host, so here's closest I could find.
No sling (any recommendations?) and my bayonet is the OKC M9 with black handle.

I found some cheap 12ga slugs on Natchez last week, they're not gouging like SGAmmo is on some items.
Is that the slam-fire capable 1987 model, too? Beautifully simplistic.

Ah, the 590A1 Retro! Good choice. I have a parkerized 590A1 with 20” barrel and in-stock shell storage, but I really like the look of the Retro version. How much for the M9?

The Ontario Knife Company M9 is about as top of the line as one can buy, they're about $150. The black handle are harder to find in stock, most vendors have green. Found one at Midway of all places for $110 and couldn't pass on that price.

That's the 100th anniversary milspec 590 Retrograde released in 2019. It does not have slamfire capabililty, which may have completed the authenticity but is a feature I'm not sure I'd want, not sure I don't want it either. This shotgun was simply too beautiful so convinced the Krakatollah she wanted to buy me one for my birthday rather than take me out of town for a silly weekend getaway. She understands the Retrograde will hold its value. Found a great price on one which made it easier. (Lot's of good prices around but no one had them to sell.) Good luck finding one at any price these days.

I have an old one and it does slam fire like my M12's do very close looking except the sights marked US on side. I did have to replace the mag spring but they sent me a new one when I called.
