Buying all the shockwaves i can

Now if we all do as the OP is doing, guess what? We'll be back right where we were a few years ago, with hard to get ammo and sky high AR and magazine prices. Use the extra money to become a Lifetime member of the NRA. And since the OP has admitted doing this to make a profit, hopefully he has an FFL license. Instead of trying to stick it to other guns owner, we need to come together during times like this and support each other. We have a battle ahead of us.

Moralem and Lee's Landing Billy's posts above make a lot of sense to me. If you do not want one or see the need for one just don't buy one. I have used many different short barreled shotguns in the last 50+ years and quite frankly these "civilian legal" witness protection shotguns most certainly have a place in the "tool box". You just need to practice the same way you do with any firearm you have for serious reasons. To each his own opinion but don't make light of someone else's just because you don't happen to see the need. As I said before ,it is just another tool in the box and just as I have multiple hammers, saws , screw drivers and one hell of a lot of wrenches, I also have a couple of shockwaves, both Mossberg and Remington, and I will be adding one of the new 20 Ga. Remingtons , and yes they are not hard to shoot effectively.

All these comments against the Shockwave sound a lot like comments we all get from anti-gun people. "What do you need one of those for? I don't need one, so neither do you."

If a guy starts a thread wanting to show off his new gun most folks here are pretty good about not raining on the guy's parade. But for general discussion and asking for opinion... any OP should expect a wide variety, including less than flattering opinion on whatever it might be. There aren't many guns or firearm accessories that I haven't seen folks say they have no use for or offer derogatory comment. Quite often it's useful comment, but other times it says more about the author than the topic. It's all part of discussion forums.

Cheers

Yeah, I get your point but I don't think his openended question about what do you think or what is your opinion was about him. I think it was more about what do you think of his strategy and the possible changing landscape of firearm regulation......I took it to mean also, what do you think of the firearm........just one of those threads with lots of emotion and opinion.

IF I ever bought one,it would be ONE to throw under the seat of my vehicle.
I wouldn't like to shoot it, but would like to have it handy.
 
...I hope they stay unregulated...that said...I bought a Mossberg 500 with pistol grip...shot it a few times...and then put a shoulder stock on it...and I am a guy that owns three 44 magnums and enjoys shooting them...am I in the market for a Shockwave?...no...but never say never...

...P. S. ... if they do become NFA...why would you jump through the hoops to own one...when the same process would get you a real short barrel shotgun?...

ParadiseRoad and others have a valid point about the recoil of conventional pistol grip shotguns, they do seem to have enhanced recoil. I have used them since putting one of the Remington factory folding stock on one of my 870's many many years ago. I also have a pistol gripped Ithaca 20 Ga. model 37. Both of those have more perceived recoil than the shockwave Mossberg or the Remington. The shape of the "tear drop" grip does work. As I said above these are just additional tools in the box and no way would I suggest that these be your only shotgun. The conventional 870 or 11/87 Police guns are still my mainstays in my shotgun battery. My thoughts and a couple of $1.00 will get you coffee in most places. All my best, Joe.
 
Will someone who has one please do a video of actually shooting it out of a car window?

Let us know how that works out for your face and ears!:D
 
I'm considering one. LGS has them for $364.00. My buddy bought the Remington version. In addition to holding 1 less round my buddies Rem. isn't drilled and tapped which I believe the Mossberg is. I don't know how big a concern that is since its a close quarters weapon. Still it may be handy to mount a laser or light. My reason for considering is I had to clear my house one time at about 2 AM with an 870 field gun, and can see where the Shockwave would be a handy gadget to have just in case. Luckily I didn't need the shotgun, but I think the intimidation factor of a 12 ga. would be beneficial. But then what do I know, I also own a Judge.
 
Ya know, the last election cycle I tried to pull off the perfect "bank shot" with AR 15's. For this lifetime, I'm done. Won't be part of a circular firing squad, no matter how righteous the target. Joe
 
The only unique use I could see for one was to carry loaded in a GHB. However, here in CO, you are issued a concealed HANDGUN permit, so my interest in the Shockwave faded.
 
Some of y'all are a bit off the mark about the legalities. The Shockwave can't be put on a list, or added to the NFA, or declared to be an SBS. The NFA, and the ATF in general, has a set of definitions for this and that and that's why the Maxim 50 is okay because it's not defined as a firearm. The Shockwave does not meet the definition of an SBS. (State laws are another matter.)

In order for the Shockwave to be declared illegal, congress would have to pass a law specifically banning it, and/or pass other laws changing the language of the NFA. I'm guessing if there is a push to do such things, it won't concern extreme short range pump action shot-throwers.

This is a twofer - it attracts people that hate the Shockwave and people that hate speculation. A perfect thread...

I lol'd.
 
I might be interested in this as a truck gun, but the state law says handguns are permissible in a vehicle but uncased rifles/shotguns are not. The Shockwave is technically neither but the dealer says he gets them shipped as long guns.
My birthday is coming up. I could splurge on one, it's cheap entertainment with game loads.

Mossberg will likely be sued after the first

That firearm is an accident waiting to happen.
Just my 2cents.

The only way that can happen is if the shooter willfully misuses the gun - that's why there is a hand loop. Remington has more to worry about.
 
Figure out the Future ... And PROFIT!!

I was sold on the Hillary walk over by the Media and started buying AR's before the reinstatement of the Clinton AWB.

Now I've got a few AR's with the value spiraling in the wrong direction. Win some and lose some.

That's also been my experience.

I tried a pistol grip on my Winchester Defender. It was significantly more punishing than the Shockwave with it's Raptor grip. The angle of the wrist combined with the forward hold as demonstrated in the Thunder Ranch video makes the Shockwave fast, accurate and surprisingly less fatiguing during practice than I thought it would be.

I think that's a valid safety concern. There have been a couple guys send their hand down range with the Kel-Tec KSG over the past few years. KSG is a bullpup design but for purposes of pump action and hand/muzzle position it's similar. Having a strap is one of the reasons I went with the Mossberg.

For decades people have been lamenting about how unsafe Glocks are. Plenty of people have shot themselves with Glocks, blaming it on the striker-fired design and no safety. They're still for sale.
