Is the Shockwave 410 any good?
Mossberg's 590 Shockwave .410 weighs 4 pounds 3 ounces and is easy to maneuver with manageable recoil. Many consider it one of the best defensive .410 options available. The .410 gauge has less power than 12 or 20 gauge, but priced around $463, it's a strong choice for the right user.
What is the price of the Mossberg shockwave?
The Mossberg Shockwave typically retails around $400–$500, with most 12 gauge models priced near $463. The .410 version runs slightly lower, while some 12 gauge configurations reach up to $724. Prices vary by retailer and configuration, so check current listings for accurate pricing.
What are the most popular Mossberg shockwave accessories?
Popular Shockwave accessories include the Streamlight TL-RACKER forend light, XS Sight Systems Big Dot Tritium sights, SBA3 brace adapters, and tactical rail systems. Compatibility varies by gauge—most fit 12 and 20 gauge models, though some forends may not fit due to length. Check product specs before purchasing.
Can you legally put a brace on a shockwave?
No. Adding a pistol brace to a Shockwave is not legal. The Shockwave's "firearm" classification depends on its birdshead grip configuration. Attaching a brace changes the overall length classification under ATF rules, creating a legal violation. Some community debate exists, but the ATF position has consistently prohibited this modification.
In what states is the Mossberg shockwave illegal?
California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island generally restrict or prohibit the Mossberg Shockwave. Some states classify it as a short-barreled shotgun or assault weapon. Laws change frequently, so verify current regulations with your state attorney general or a local firearms attorney.
How many shells does a Mossberg 410 pump hold?
Mossberg .410 pump models typically hold 5 shells in the magazine tube. The 590 Shockwave .410 holds five 2.5-inch shells or four 3-inch shells in the magazine, plus one in the chamber, for a total of 6 or 5 rounds depending on shell length.
