When I first heard about the Mossberg 590 Shockwave shotgun I thought it sounded like a novelty. A fad that would pass on into irrelevance. Sure, it’s short. A taste of the forbidden fruit of an NFA item (though, the Shockwave is not an NFA item nor are short-barreled long guns “forbidden,” but they are hard to get). So, I wondered if it would bring anything new to the defensive shotgun game? After running one I have to say that my opinion has changed.

Since many gun buyers aren’t going to invest the time and money needed to buy a short-barreled shotgun, Mossberg eases the pain by offering a non-NFA short gun. Thus, allowing you to scratch that Hollywood “tacti-cool” gun itch. But if you want it for more than the novelty, you’ll need to put in the work.
