Shockwave!

waiting for 28 gauge

I doubt you would ever see one in 16 ga- Secondary to availability of reduced recoil 12 ga, and all the options in defensive loads, while the 16 has next to nothing. Prob see a 20ga for the recoil sensitive. My wife has 16 ga SXS, semi, pump, still looking for lever and o/u for her.

A shoulder holster would be nice, will prob have a friend make one once I understand where it fits in my state laws. Be Safe,

Looks like Mossberg is starting to get in gear with Shockwaves.
After nearly 3 months waiting on SOS I canceled the order.
Went to every on line dealer and filed out "notify when in stock".
Just got a email from Lanbo's Armory.
$393.87 shipped.
Never dealt with them, just passing the word.

You Texans don't know what your missing.
These are too much fun. Hope your AG gets going.

Got an e-mail from Palmetto a couple hours ago Shockwave in stock. $389. Now out of stock. I reckon they're popular.
 
Had one got rid of it,useless.why handicap​ your self?? I will stick with M500 stocked 18",way more effective than the toy shockwave!
 
Shockwave 1.0

You know I love my Shockwave. Imagine how shocked I was to stumble across this. Not a very clear picture but that sure looks like a Raptor Birdshead grip to me. Old Stumpy was ahead of his time... :eek:

I'm enjoying my "toy" Shockwave. I think it's a lot easier to hit with than a stocked 18" gun because I am always shooting high with them. It's kinda hilarious that folks are so against them. If it's fun, so what? Mossberg has a hit and an American company is making money off of a solid product. I now know that distances to various points in my home and exactly what to expect from the Shockwave from Federal Premium 3" OO Buck. I'm excited to try out several different shells for patterning to see if I can improve upon that shell.

Always a naysayer in a crowd. I'll bet he never had one to begin with, let alone fire one.

You said it! We all know it. Probably bitter because he couldn't get one or he realized that they are much more fun than 18's and couldn't handle it...😁

I definitely agree with you. If you don't learn to shoot it and don't find a load that both you and the gun like, then it is useless. In other words, just like any other gun that I've owned.

The Shockwave's low profile is going to make a nice truck gun to have access to something beyond the Block 19 that resides in my truck. My carbine is bulky in comparison.

I have an underfolder AK that was performing the role of the Shockwave and it is almost twice the weight. I was running it 20+1 and I had found the amount the safety needed to be depressed with the stock folded up to fire. I tried the AR as well with 20+1 but found it to be bulky, even without the Ranger pads. Perhaps with a folding stock the AR would be more cuddly.
My Shockwave rolls along with a G29SF. It's sort of like a G19, but slightly bigger. LOL
 
I just picked up a purchase from my FFL (an SKS), and asked him about the Shockwave. He hadn't heard of it yet.

When I showed him the advertising on my phone, he sat for a couple of seconds, and then said that unless it came with a letter from the ATF (they all do now, right?), he wouldn't transfer it. We discussed the "loophole" aspects, and he agreed, but he went on to say that he is afraid that loophole will be closed after the fact, and anyone involved in the early purchases is going to have to deal with a lot of red tape.

This is in Louisiana, not one of the restricted states.

So, what are the various worst case scenarios involved here? I suppose anywhere from being grandfathered in, to having to surrender the gun without compensation... but that's just a guess on my part.
 
Mine came with the BAFTE letter of explanation. I think I'll
take it to the range when I try it out. You never know. I hope
the BATFE doesn't change it's mind down the road. That would
suck!

I was on the lake today with mine and the boat sunk.
That Flex Tape didn't hold up on my boat.

Coincidentally, my boat sank too along with all contents (shockwave) on board. I was able to swim to shore but lost everything else. Sux too as was in the deepest part of the lake with little hope of recovery due to all the high water we've had this Spring.
