I bought my Shockwave when they first came out and I still love it. I shoot it really well form the hip but that's not what it's really for. I added a Streamlight 1000 Lumen replacement forend, and it rests up against my night stand. It's 12 gauge, a great size for your home,, has a 1,000 Lumen light as the forend and holds plenty of ammo. It is a fantastic home protection firearm.

Short gun to fight your way to a long gun !

The Shockwave was introduced at Shot show 2017. They unveiled it with our OPSol adapter and Aguila minishells. That day, quite literally was the day when a lot of people learned about minishells at all. For our part, we started the project in 2013, and started selling the adapter in 2015. With minishells, your middle school kids can handle the Shockwave, but the whole idea behind our adapter and minishells was based on the Maverick 88. A simple, effective, cheap platform for the family for home defense. Now, if Federal and Aguila would ramp up production.........................

The Mossberg Shockwave is NOT useless but very practical. I have upgraded my Shockwave with the DEFENDER TACTICAL UNIVERSAL MINISHELL ADAPTER to cycle BOTH 1 3/4" to 3" shells...

I have a Mossberg Shockwave 590S which can cycle short shells (1 3/4"). 8 of them can fit in the tube magazine. And much less recoil. Good for home defense. Laser and flashlight for shooting from the hip or in front of your chest. The 590S has a built-in adapter which allows it to cycle 3" through 1.75" 12-gauge shells interchangeably.

The 590S has its attributes. The problem with it is the problem with all shotguns. When you are racking the gun under duress, in odd positions, etc....as you may defending your home, the minishell can flip, or even exit the ejection port. Put another way, a regular shell needs a receiver with a 3" opening. A minishell needs a receiver with a 1.6"(ish) opening. Only the OPSol Flex Adapter transforms the receiver into a mini-receiver.

Thanks for the video. I can see where people who have trained extensively with regular tactical shotguns would find the Shockwave frustrating to use. It's a different firearm. For the rest of us, the Shockwave could serve a purpose in self-defense. Making hits isn't that difficult, and 12-gauge or even 20-gauge loads from a fourteen-inch barrel are going to be effective at making stops.

That pineapple and cookie sheet had it coming.

Love my shockwave! Got the wood furniture too!

Keep my shockwave in the sock drawer in my bedroom. Got a crimson trace laser on it, use it to get to my long guns if needed. Fun to shoot staying proficient, works well for defense.

This old man's accuracy is beyond words. He does not miss a shot

Great camera work John!

They are the best thing ever. And can reach the gong! Definitely a force to be reconned with.

Love mine. I got pretty good at shooting slugs one-handed. I customized mine: Color shifting paint, 15-round capacity sling and a Shockwave Technologies F-1 Raptor forend.

I did the NFA and put a pistol grip on mine. Huge difference ! One of my favorite guns. It’s my truck gun.

My wife and I love this firearm. We take it and a 45 cal. Glock when we go camping and backpacking.. It is easy to carry and with some buckshot and slug shells. You have yourself a nice protection setup for that just in case you have a wolf,mountain lion or bear that you need to protect yourself from in the woods. Its the type of firearm that you need to do some shooting with to get use to the feel of. I recommend starting off with bird shot shells and working up as you get use to handling it as those buckshot and slug shells do step up the need for understanding this firearms proper handling techniques. As for it being a felony to own is bull-crap. It is 100% legal as long as you do not put one of those butt stock kits on it.

If its a lifesaver its never useless..and Mossberg is not in the useless business

This is a Great Firearm for home defense, truck gun, and hiking. I have seen a couple of videos where a guy dropped a deer with it, and one guy was shooting clay pigeons. The key word is “practice” if you have the time.

Very honest review ! We all know the shockwave will be used to shoot stop signs more than any other use!

Not practical for *ALL* situations, certainly. But I'm sure it has a purpose, if only for *FUN!!* Thanks, Hickok45!! An observation - Les Nessman (WKRP) was always showing up to work with a bandage or two, adding to the "mystery" of the character. In this case, however, there's no mystery! 😁

Unbelievable ‘’the gong’’ with a Shockwave!!😳 Great👍🏻🇺🇸

I reviewed the shockwave in one of my videos, awesome little non NFA firearm. With the minishells for less wall penetration, it has its place in my home defense strategy.

Now this is The review I was waiting for 😅

I love mine. It actually patterns well, and its size allows it to literally “ride shotgun” in my truck seat. And fact is, there’s no such thing as a “useless firearm”, even if you have to throw it at something…

I think this would be a great backpack gun. You can switch between shot or slugs and you don't have to be running around with a military rifle military plates military helmet asking to be looted.

Bought a Shock wabe when they first came out and love it. I don't have a hand gun right now so I carry it in the car for......."close encounters." Added a 6 round ammo carrier for convenience.

Well its probably the best home defense tool in close quarters . bar none . or one of the best options .

I’ve had mine for a while now. While they’re not for every situation they are VERY portable and usually meant for fun but for serious use it could be a good backpack shotty for backup

Perfect for carry or trucking

It's far better than a pointy stick. I love my lil pew-pew and find it much easier to drill with in my small house. My M1 Super 90 rig is old faithful...but it's hard not to like a shotgun that I can fire with 1 hand.

I like my Shockwave

A crimson Trace sidesaddle laser in green makes this gun superb for speed and target aquisition....

I have a spiral staircase in my home, I don't wanna full length stock trying to ascend them and attempt the gymnastics of aiming it through the railings essentially overhead to keep cover between the first floor and downstairs. With shorty shells this setup is highly manageable.

One of the few people who actually mentions something like, walking around your house, in the home defense scenario. Bravo. Take into account training to protect from takeaways and whether you would want a sling, because what are you going to do, just lay it on the ground? And we have some real ideas being passed back and forth.

“It’s a useless firearm!” Yea but it’s the closest thing I can legally own to a sawn off so like, I still enjoy it lol

Add in a Chrimson trace green or red dot laser properly sighted in and you have a really formidable short to intermediate range weapon fro either buck shot or even rifled slugs!

Yep got me a 590 at the local pawn shop works good

When it comes to akimbo shotties. You got to have either lever action models or double barrel sawed off shotties. Double barrels with 2 triggers and shoot both barrels out of both. But yeah the 590 is great. I got the shockwave for truck gun and full size 590 with beyonnet attachment for home defense

We are talking about the average person that buys a 12 ga. shotgun without a stock. Even those who shoot often and know what they are doing, I’d argue 98% of them aren’t at the range practicing moving and shooting with their shockwave on the clock. In contrast, at least some people do that with a shotgun with a stock, a handgun, and a rifle (or at least one of the 3). They’d be much better off with one of those three they practice with under a degree of stress (or a more self defense oriented version of the gun they use to compete with).

Nice gun. I couldnt justify the cost when i have a 500 with an 18 inch barrel and a birds head grip. 4 inch longer than the Shockwave. But if I had the money....

I got a 590 Shockwave, and I have difficulty using it with 2.75” shells w/00 buckshot. I can’t hang on or to aim as it’s back in my face. I need to try the mini shells, or I need a pistol brace. I’d rather probably just have a 20” pump shotgun unless pistol brace issue is cleared up.

Hickok could shoot a BB gun, blindfolded, and it the gong.

Pistol grips snap the wrist. The recoil ends up where you grasp it at, you need to cock wrist awkwardly and you end up eating the recoil instead of letting it rock / roll to deal with the recoil impulse. it's not a good set up at all , at least for me IMHO. 6 shot or lighter with 2 3/4...Mine was the older "persuader" in 12 Ga. It's just the wrong set up. This makes way more sense and eventually I'd like to try one of those...
