Hi everyone. This forum was awesome for giving me advise when I purchased my beretta 1301 comp pro and I am hoping your brilliant minds can help me again. I plan on purchasing a 590 A1 with 14inch barrel. The primary use will be bear defence, as last year the bears in my area had no f's to give, even if you blared your horn or air horn or whistle at them. I plan on having it on me for hikes and trail runs with my dog. I want a setup so that I can run with the shotgun in my hands keeping it at my chest or if I need a break can have it loose at my side or chest. I also want it to allow for some stability when firing. I checked out the thread for accessories for shortys and noticed about 80 percent of the shotguns didn't have slings. I don't care if it is single or double mount for the sling and mounting. I just want comfort and ease of use. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I have been checking out magpul and GG and G so far.

Thanks for the reply. I am hoping that people will post a few more options and I can pick what will work best. As for the bears. I'm in Northwestern Ontario. The bears can be pretty common. Generally if you leave them alone, they will leave you alone. It is just an added layer of protection and would also be used as a last resort. Nobody wants to have to report or get rid of a bear carcass. Also, running with 7lbs in your hands gives you a nice pump. I generally run the dog on leash going up our bush road, to leave a scent. Coming back the dog is off leash so he can chase his ball. Cheers.
I think for the time being I might go with the blue force gear A2 butt stock adapter. I have read reviews and ppl have stated that it fit their mossberg 590 stock. But I appreciate the input and might be interested in the magpul stock if I'm not happy with the mossberg stock.

The Magpul SGA stock is probably the best way to go.
But, if you stick with the speedfeed stock , limbsaver makes a very nice prefitted recoil pad for it, it does add a little length though.
Add a GrovTec hollow stock push button base on ether side.
Drill a pilot hold then a bigger hole and it threads in nicely, no need for the nut.
That and a GG&G sling plate under the mag cap as painkillers said and you're good to go .
I like the older magpul slings , short enough to use over the shoulder 2 point or single point.
