Default V3 Tac 13 Unicorn

Been looking for one of these since they were introduced in October. Was starting to think that they were a myth. Finally found one at Brownells. Not sure how many they had, but they went out of stock as soon as I bought mine. $700-ish. Sorry about the picture quality, as soon as it stops raining I’ll take it outside and wring it out and get a few better pictures.

They look to be pretty scarce, and that seems to be a pretty good price. I want to pick one up. Like my TAC-14 with a brace, this will even be better. Have fun and post vids and pics. Merry Christmas!

Pretty sweet, I actually just picked up a Mossberg 590 Shockwave today, but it's a Christmas gift, so I've got to wait a few more days before I can really admire it.

I bought the TAC14 with the birdshead grip on it, and it was awkward. Shoot-able, but it seemed awkward. Like shooting a Ruger Charger if you ever have..... Swapped out the birdshead for a tube and a brace, it is a different ballgame. Looks like the TAC13 utilizes the same birdshead grip VIA an adapter on the rear of the V3 receiver.

I’ve shot both the shockwave and the tac14. IMO the shockwave is more controllable than the tac14 due to the hand strap on the pump. I ran a box of #4 through the Tac13 today and it’s more controllable than the shockwave. Felt like I could shoot it all day. Forgot to take pictures though.

Probably gonna put my shockwave on the market.
