The Mossberg 590 Shockwave delivers devastating close-range firepower in a compact 26.37-inch overall length package. This non-NFA firearm bridges the gap between traditional shotguns and pistols, offering maximum maneuverability without requiring tax stamps or registration.
What Makes This Different
The 590 Shockwave's 14.375-inch heavy-walled barrel and overall length exceeding 26 inches keeps it classified as a firearm rather than a short-barreled shotgun. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, while the dual extractors ensure reliable ejection of spent shells. The drilled and tapped receiver accommodates optics and accessories that standard smoothbore shotguns cannot support.
Key Features
- 14.375-inch heavy-walled barrel with cylinder bore choke
- 5+1 capacity with 3-inch chamber capability
- Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish for enhanced durability
- Dual extractors for positive shell ejection
- Drilled and tapped receiver for optic mounting
- Corncob forend with retention strap for secure grip
- Raptor birdshead grip reduces felt recoil and improves control
The 590 Shockwave excels in confined spaces where traditional long guns prove unwieldy. Home defense scenarios benefit from the compact profile and devastating stopping power of 12-gauge ammunition. The heavy barrel construction maintains accuracy while managing the substantial recoil forces generated by magnum loads. Weather-resistant Cerakote coating ensures reliable function in adverse conditions.
