The Mossberg Shockwave is listed as a model 590. However, it has the heavy walled barrel of the 590a1. Does it also have the metal trigger guard housing of the 590a1? Or the plastic 590 trigger guard. | ||

With it cut that short, how can you tell it has the heavy barrel? ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- | |||

I have the Nighstick version. Probably put 100 rounds through mine the other day. I eventually found it easy to hit bottles consistently with slugs from about 20 yards away. The Shockwave should be classified as an anti-depressant. I’ve never had this much fun with a gun before. You can’t not smile after doing some rapid fire. | |||

afaik only the 590A1 has the metal guard "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" Edmund Burke | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
While not a Shockwave, here is a pic of the end of the barrels from my 590A1 and my 590 (Both 18.5") The 590 does have the plastic trigger guard and safety, the 590A1 has metal.  | |||

mbinkys photo shows clearly what I call the "Sewer Pipe Effect". Several bad guys I showed the sewer pipe to surrendered meekly. Better than shack-shack, maybe. I have to get a Shockwave. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

I am seriously considering the Crimson Trace laser saddle for my Shockwave. Seems like a worthwhile addition. Rolan Kraps SASS Regulator Gainesville, Georgia. NRA Range Safety Officer NRA Certified Instructor - Pistol / Personal Protection Inside the Home | |||
