Description
The Mossberg 590 Shockwave is built for close-quarters use and home defense, and it suits shooters who want a compact, pump-operated 12-gauge without the bulk of a full-length stock. The defining design choice is the Raptor bird’s-head grip, which redirects recoil energy downward along the shooter’s arm rather than straight back into the shoulder — the geometry demands a slightly different shooting technique than a conventional stock, but it meaningfully reduces felt muzzle rise on a short platform like this.
The Crimson Trace LS-250 Lasersaddle mounts directly to the receiver rather than clamping onto a rail, which keeps the profile low and puts activation pads on both sides of the receiver. That ambidextrous layout means neither hand needs to break its grip to switch the laser on, and the unit is adjustable for windage and elevation. Bead sighting remains available as a backup. The corn-cob forend includes a retention strap to help maintain a firm grip during rapid cycling.
The heavy-walled barrel runs with a cylinder-bore choke, making it most practical with buckshot or slugs at the ranges where a platform this size is typically employed. Twin action bars and a steel-to-steel lockup keep the action smooth and reduce the chance of binding under hard use. The ambidextrous tang safety is operable without shifting the shooting hand, which matters when the gun is being worked quickly. Capacity sits at six rounds total.
