Mossberg 590 Shockwave PGO Firearms Mossberg Shockwave 590 Ultimate Shockwave Build Shockwave 590M
  • Compact and maneuverable
  • Quick and easy to reload
  • Fun range toy
  • Stiff recoil
  • Not good for beginners
  • Not as stable as longer shotguns
Editor’s Note:

Fun yet challenging to shoot. Not as stable as a standard shotgun, but this isn’t a shotgun after all. Mossberg 590 Shockwave is not for inexperienced shooters. Overall, a fun and reliable gun to shoot!

Mossberg 590A1

$565.99

Tracing its roots back to the respected and venerable Mossberg 500, the 590A1 keeps the core of what makes the 500-series of shotguns so great and makes it even better. The U.S. military put out a request for a more durable pump-action shotgun that could stand up to the rigors of hard field use, and the 590A1 was born. Mossberg responded by adding a tough parkerized finish,  all metal trigger guard, thick-walled barrel, and stronger internals. It is an intuitive and easy to use pump-gun, but it is a bit on the heavy side due to the aforementioned features. The extra weight helps tame the harsh recoil of the 12 gauge round, making the shooting experience a little more pleasant. The ambidextrous tang safety makes the gun easy for all users to operate the gun. Its wide aftermarket also allows you to tailor the gun to your specific wants and needs. While the 590A1 isn’t the smoothest or lightest shotgun out there, it is an absolute tank, and you’d be hard pressed to find any firearm that will last as long and take as much punishment.

Mossberg Model 500 Field

The Mossberg 500 has withstood the test of time and is the gold standard when it comes to pump-action shotguns for the everyman. They are reliable, easy to maintain, versatile, have a huge aftermarket, and are extremely affordable. It is likely the most popular shotgun in the United States, and for a good reason.

Mossberg 500 Combo Field/Security

$420.47

Usually coming in at under $400, the Mossberg 500 Field/Security pump-action shotgun is one of the most versatile guns you can buy for the money. This gun comes with two barrels, a 28-inch field barrel with interchangeable choke tubes and an 18.5-inch security barrel with a fixed choke. Having both barrels allows you to have a do-all gun that can cover anything from hunting to sporting to home defense. Mossberg makes the barrel change process simple and easy, with a single screw making the barrel swap a 60-second affair that takes no tools. The ambidextrous tang safety makes this gun intuitive for most users, but the rest of the gun is pretty standard fare when it comes to ergonomics. The Mossberg 500 has been the gold standard for basic shotguns since the 60s, and it has the aftermarket to prove that. If you need a shotgun to cover all the bases, this is it.

final verdict

The Mossberg 590 Shockwave is another one of those fantastic discoveries in the hideous nature of confusing gun laws. It’s not really taking advantage of a loophole, but it’s a convenient means to obtain a powerful and compact firearm. The addition of a stock provides you with a much more stable, easier to reload, and easier to aim and fire weapon. If you want a fun gun or a range toy, or if you are protecting witnesses from gangsters the 590 Shockwave is for you.
