The Mini-Pro Lifter and Cartridge Arrestor System is the next step in the evolution of short-cartridge cycling capability.  Taking the success of our Universal Cartridge Adapter and 590S Cartridge Arrestor Upgrade Kits to the next-level, Mini-Pro is not an adapter; it is an OEM-like solution that addresses the heart of the shotgun's functionality, where the entire factory lifter/elevator is replaced with our Mini-Pro Lifter and 590S Cartridge Arrestor System.  This means you can essentially upgrade any Mossberg pump-action 12-Gauge shotgun with a 3" receiver to a true 590S-like configuration.

The Mini-Pro Lifter is constructed of hardened steel and blackened to match the factory finish.  The cam profile has been optimized to accommodate minishells, and the bolt carrier rails have been polished to smooth out the action and provide a "broken-in" feel.  The legs of the lifter are slightly biased in the open position to ensure plenty of residual pressure is applied to the pivot pins so they can't jump out of their respective holes if the firearm is dropped (see this video starting at minute marker 4:25 for more info: https://youtu.be/87XSOnQrCYg).

The Cartridge Arrestor is exactly the same as our 590S upgrade design and is constructed from vulcanized thermoplastic rubber.  The follower is machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum and is finished in a hard, safety-red anodized coating.

This system is compatible with any Mossberg 500, 590 or Maverick 88 pump-action 12-Gauge firearm with machined grooves in the receiver.  Please refer to the picture or the installation video below to confirm your firearm's compatibility, but we've never seen a Mossberg pump-action firearm without these grooves.

*Please note our Universal Cartridge Adapter is forward-compatible with the Mini-Pro System with a simple modification.  If you already own the Universal Cartridge Adapter Kit, you will only need to purchase the Mini-Pro Lifter.  See video for more details.

**The Mini-Pro Lifter, Cartridge Arrestor and Magazine Follower are optimized to function as a system, however the factory and other aftermarket followers may function as well for those that do not wish to use the follower provided.

Best Mossberg mini-shell option

The Defender Tactical Mini-Pro Lifter is by far the best mini-shell option available on the market. I had previously tried the OPSel Mini-Clip, which would just fall out or it would have to be removed if I wanted to run 2 3/4 shells again. I originally had the Mini-Pro System adapter that worked great, as long as you pushed to down when manually unloading shells or it would get in the way. But now with the Mini-Pro Lifter and the modified Mini-Pro adapter, my Mossberg 590 cycles any variation of shell size perfectly. The one caveat I ran into was with the slightly biased lifter legs, as when I installed the new lifter, it would bind when attempting to work the action. So I had to slightly bend the legs back into more of an OEM lifter angle to get it to work properly. Not that big of a deal and others may not have my same issue. Regardless, I highly recommend this product for any Mossberg owner, you will not be disappointed.

Excellent!

I install both kits on my 500/590 and I couldn’t be any happier. Thank you.

**Best 590 Upgrade**

After seeing the You Tube video of this Mini Pro Lifter a while back , I couldn't wait for it to be available . I received an email notification and did not wait and ordered the lifter only because I already had the cartridge arrestor system from a previous purchase . It arrived pretty quick & installed it in my 590 right away . Quality , fit and function is excellent , flawless cycling of the shorty shells and any combination of shells . Another great product from Defender Tactical , These guys are great !!

Better system than Mossbergs...

I ordered this the second I got the email about it. Got it today and immediately installed it and hit the range. If you already have the original defender cartridge adapter you just cut the "duck bill" off and your good to go. Not a single hiccup. I had zero issues with shells feeding and I was using a mixed bag of mini shells, 2 3/4", and 3". This system is now BETTER than the actual Mossberg 590S setup.

I also like that this lifter fits tighter into the receiver because they splayed it out farther. I have never seen an oem lifter pop out but it's always something I thought about given the loose fit. This thing is not going anywhere.

They did great finishing work as well, the edges are all deburred and finished so the action runs smooth with no "break in" period.

Also as a bonus, without the "duck bill" part of the cartridge adapter, it's much easier to extract shells from the magazine. That was the only small gripe I had with the old setup.

Keep up the great work!
