Odd, someone's saying the Shockwave only holds 3 rounds...
... My wife's 410 Shockwave house-gun using 3" shells holds 5 +1 chambered.
At 5'1" and 62 yrs old, she can handle the 4lbs just fine, either one or two handed.
I only paid $270 for it new incl: del, tax and FFL. I just couldn't pass the deal up (Less than an NAA 22 revolver)
12 ga Shockwave holds 5+1 (2.75" shells).
The Birds-head grip actually reduces felt recoil tremendously...I guess by "aligning" your wrist with your forearm structure.
I like how easy it is to navigate around corners, etc, but my real concern in a home defense scenario is that, if not careful and thoughtful (2 traits usually missing in an adrenaline-fueled situation), the natural tendency to bring the Shockwave up to the eye to site down the barrel will result in smacking you hard right in the mouth. Like almost knock-you-out hard.
Not what you want when it's go-time.
