Overview

The Mossberg 990 SPX (Special Purpose eXtreme) is a purpose‑built, 12‑gauge pump‑action shotgun designed for tactical, law‑enforcement and civilian defensive use. Introduced in 2015, the 990 SPX incorporates a heavy‑weight, chrome‑lined barrel, a reinforced receiver, and a Magpul M‑LOK handguard system that allows rapid attachment of accessories such as lights, lasers and foregrips. Its design philosophy emphasizes reliability under adverse conditions, rapid follow‑up shot capability, and modular ergonomics. The shotgun features a dual‑stage trigger, a ghost‑ring safety, and an oversized ejection port for reliable shell ejection. The 990 SPX has earned a reputation for ruggedness and low recoil, making it popular among SWAT teams and civilian home‑defense enthusiasts. Unique characteristics include a 20‑inch barrel with a ported choke, a proprietary “SPX” stock with adjustable length of pull, and a stainless‑steel bolt that resists corrosion.
