Mossberg 590

[Balco]

The Shockwave is a Mossberg 590 with a 14-inch barrel and a Raptor birdshead-style grip in place of the shoulder stock. Supposedly it's not legally classified as a short-barreled shotgun by the ATF.
Anyone have one? Good home defense weapon? Might be in the market for one. Thanks

Those make for a great "truck gun", or a "back pack" gun... but for HD use my primary is a semi-auto M930 with an 18" barrel, extended magazine, and M9 pig-sticker.... 9 rounds of hell on earth, ready to spew as fast as I can pull the trigger.



GET SOME!!

Why do you say supposedly?

I had a Shockwave without all the crap on it. It actually wasn't that bad with 2 3/4" slugs or 00 buck.

I sold it because I really had no justification to keep it, but it was a decent shooter.
I should mention that my HD shotgun is a 590 so I'm used to the model.

Oh... and in a HD situation I don't bother with reloading... I have three M500's for backup if my initial point isn't taken to heart.





Sorry.... that photo never gets old!

I'm planning on getting that wood furniture one for my bday. Good little truck shotgun for travel.

Speak text got the best of me.

Whatever flavor you like. My first M930 (pictured above) was a plain-Jane vanilla before I beefed it up...


It also has a tac-light on it now...



This is my 2nd M930 that came with two barrels.


One of which is a master-key breacher...



My point being.... there's a dizzying amount of configurations you can go with...

I put some skate board tape on the birds head grip. I added a Crimson Trace green laser I had. I
see Crimson Trace makes a Lasersaddle for the Shockwave. The Shockwave holds 8 "Minis" in the mag tube.
Added an adapter to shoot "Minis". In bear country I had it loaded with Mini slugs.

For me personally, I'd be a bit leary of depending on an add-on adapter to make a certain type of ammo work unless it was strictly a "fun gun".

I finally thought of a use for a Shockwave. As an under the counter gun in a convenience store. I have seen too many videos where the shop owner grabs a pistol under the counter and trades rounds with robber(s).

The Shockwave would give a greater chance for an instant stop without the flash and louder crack of an AR pistol.
