Mossberg

O.F. Mossberg & Sons announced today the launch of the MC1sc, the company’s first foray into the already-crowded subcompact 9mm handgun marketplace. The rifle and shotgun manufacturer hopes their 100 years of gunsmithing expertise have prepared them to enter one of the most popular handgun categories, and the MC1sc’s spec sheet indicates that they’ve developed a competitive offering.

Gearing up for the new year Mossberg is adding four new guns to the company catalog including a new series of Retrograde shotguns.

The new 12-gauge is called the “Nightstick” and it’s a successor to the Shockwave, now with traditional wood furniture.

It’s here, folks! Mossberg announced Tuesday that their non-NFA Shockwave platform got the 590″M” magazine-fed makeover!

Looks mean is one thing, but it has to run to matter. And the 590M did run. It ate everything I threw at it, including multiple magazines out of my 12 gauge trash bucket. The trash bucket is a 5 gallon bucket I toss all the leftover ammo in from shotgun reviews or any other sketchy ammo I run across. The cheapest of the cheap, mil surplus, slugs left over from my 3 gun days, and anything I get from a fire sale. Despite the fact that the gun says 2 ¾ inch shells only, I fed it some Augilla mini shells.

Mossberg announced Wednesday that it will be terminating its relationship with Dick’s Sporting Goods and it subsidiary Field & Stream.  

Mossberg’s 590 Shockwave has been a breakout success.  No secret as to why that is.  It’s a way for the masses to get their hands on a compact, non-NFA scattergun.

I’ve always dreamt of going on a black bear hunt. Go ahead, admit it … bet you have too?

When I finally got invited I couldn’t figure out what gun I wanted to take. I’ve always been into lever guns — but was it the right choice? I needed something light, for climbing trees, for getting into shooting positions fast, that sort of thing. I needed something with enough accuracy and power to handle a black bear, but still quick enough for follow up shots. It’s the sort of quandary most shooters love to get into. “Oh darn, I gotta’ decide on what new gun I need to buy!”

When we think of the name Mossberg, most of us instantly envision a shotgun. They have been the leader in American shotguns for decades, and recently have been crushing it out of the park with new products like the 590 magazine-fed and the Shockwave. But they are also a powerhouse in rifles. And this year they are stepping into the precision game, with the Mossberg MVP Precision.
