description Mossberg 590 Shockwave Overview
The Mossberg 590 Shockwave is a 12-gauge pump-action firearm manufactured by O.F. Mossberg & Sons. It features a 14-inch barrel and a specialized bird's-head grip instead of a traditional shoulder stock. Because its overall length exceeds 26 inches and it was never designed to be fired from the shoulder, it is legally classified as a "firearm" in the United States rather than a shotgun or short-barreled shotgun.
The compact design is marketed for home defense and tight-quarters use.
