Anyone Handled the Mossberg Shockwave?
It's featured in the NRA's monthly mags this month. It looks like a cool new product and all the reviews I have seen are positive. It's NOT a hunting shotgun. It's built for a specific purpose and would be a great gun to keep in the UTV or on the ATV, or take on a hike, mountain bike ride in the back country, or camping.

I have checked locally and they just aren't available here. The reasonable price might have something to do with that. One local shop has them listed for $399 but not currently in stock. I have a couple full stocked shotguns with 18 inch barrels from way back when, and have shot some short barreled guns back in my various instructor classes. I just didn't want to pay the $200 AOW fees and put my name on the lists.
There are a number of videos out there showing the guns being fired, and if you wanted a Short Barreled shotgun for home protection, or to put down predators, this might be just the thing. I would want to see one first before I made a judgement. Again... anyone had a chance to actually handle one yet?

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Re: Anyone Handled the Mossberg Shockwave?
now that's an interesting puppy .... for me it falls in a very large category of firearms that I'd like to shoot but do not have a desire to buy

It would be great to clip on the utv, in case of feral dogs, bob cats, skunks, etc. We usually run across them when we forgot to grab the pistol on the way out.

Regardless of what you might think of the gun, a very informative article, thanks,

Shot 1 recently very difficult to control. I'll pass.

Re: Anyone Handled the Mossberg Shockwave?
I was very surprised at how heavy it was.... although that could have been because it was heavy for it's size. Also not for the recoil sensitive unless you use the Aguila minishell... it should have been made in 20 gauge.
I'd buy a double barrel 20 gauge version in a heartbeat!

Welcome to my home..........FYI... that locked door you kicked down was for your protection....not mine.

Funny, but the same thing occurred to me; easier to handle in a 20 ga.albin25 wrote:it should have been made in 20 gauge.

I bought a Shockwave and the Remington TAC14. I have fired both and I was not surprised at the way they handled. Both are manageable, but not as easy to manage as a long gun (870 Tactical or 590A1.) I love the size for carrying on my Harley Trike.
Before you venture out with the Shockwave, I highly suggest you watch the You Tube video from the CEO of Thunder Ranch. I learned alot from it and was glad I had watched it before I went to the range.
