Mossberg 590 Shockwave 12 Gauge Pump Action Firearm – 14″ Barrel, Blued/Synthetic

The Mossberg 590 Shockwave is a compact, pump-action firearm classified by the ATF as a pistol grip firearm — not a shotgun — making it legal to own in most states without the restrictions that apply to short-barreled shotguns. Built on Mossberg’s proven 590 platform, it delivers reliable 12-gauge performance in a highly maneuverable 33-inch overall package suited for home defense, vehicle storage, or range use. The blued steel barrel and synthetic construction keep it rugged and low-maintenance.
