Welcome to the ranks with your 590A1.
As far as cycling, what Dave McC said. When I used my friends 870, I had similiar problems (I'm always respectful of others tools, and therefore, more gentle). When I got my own, I rack it hard, and it works fine.
I believe that for your flashlight setup, what you are looking for is made by Tacstar. They offer a product that clamps a mini-mag light under the barrel/mag. Then you take of the back of the mini-mag, and screw in their assembly that has a pressure switch on a coiled "pig tail". The pressure switch mounts with adhesive anywhere on the firearm.
Haven't tried this setup. I've heard that the flashlight takes a beating from the heavy recoil.
If I mis-understood your question, I apologize.
P.S. Go with a Responder, and you'll be a happy camper.
