The brand new 590 Shockwave 20 Gauge offers Mossberg's legendary pump-action reliability in a compact 14" barreled package.
The Shockwave Raptor bird’s head pistol grip is uniquely shaped to minimize felt recoil. Includes all the features that have made Mossberg pump-actions the choice for millions worldwide: ambidextrous safety, dual extractors, positive steel-to-steel lockup, twin action bars, and a smooth operating anti-jam elevator.
The 590 Shockwave is classified as fully-compliant by the BATFE, so this model requires no Tax Stamp for transfers. Be sure to check local laws to determine further compliance. Returns due to non-compliance are subject to additional shipping and return fees. Must be 21 years of age or older to purchase.
Always been a 12 gauge owner, this is my first 20. All good except for loading. The narrower loading port is not a good fit for my thumb. Pushing the shells in with index finger is slower and weaker than thumb loading. Not a deal breaker.
Bought the 12ga model but sold it due to the “Not Fun” recoil. This 20ga model is the sweet spot, totally manageable and actually fun to shoot. The wife agrees. The 590A1 quality is excellent as it’s always been. I shoot slugs, Buck and field loads through this all the time and have became pretty accurate with it. It doesn’t look like it would be but if you practice a lil it’s better than your think. This is really a cool take on a defensive “Home Defense” firearm that will serve you, your mom, your wife, your grandma/grandpa well. I saw they cane out with a 410 model and that might be the super sweet spot. Might have to try it out next! I highly recommend this model Shockwave!
