The Mossberg 590 Shockwave offers a potent 12 gauge platform in a compact, maneuverable design. Classified as a “firearm” rather than a shotgun, its 14-inch barrel and overall length meet federal guidelines, providing a unique option for responsible firearm owners. This pump-action model features a 3-inch chamber, allowing compatibility with a wide range of standard shotgun shells, from birdshot to slugs.
Constructed for durability and consistent operation, the 590 Shockwave incorporates a black synthetic finish that resists wear and environmental exposure. The distinctive Raptor grip provides positive control and aids in managing recoil, while the traditional corn cob forend ensures a secure and comfortable pump stroke. Its robust construction makes it a reliable choice for close-quarters applications and a viable personal defense firearm.
Users will find the tang safety intuitive and accessible. The Mossberg 590 platform has a proven track record for reliability, making this Shockwave variant a practical addition to any collection. For training or familiarization, it integrates well with standard shooting range equipment. This model also allows for future customization with various firearm accessories to suit specific user preferences or operational requirements.
