According to the BATFE, an NFA-listed shotgun would have either a barrel less than 18 inches in length, or an overall length less than 26 inches. But since the Shockwave features a pistol grip rather than a buttstock from the factory, it is classified as a pistol grip only (PGO) firearm, and as such it can have a barrel shorter than 18 inches as long as the overall length is greater than 26 inches \u2014\u00a0hence the overall length of 26.37 inches. Buying age is thus 21 years of age, and state laws still apply.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Recoil &amp; Distance Matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the main questions I had entering testing was how the recoil of the 20 gauge would compare with the 12-gauge model, which I have reviewed previously, especially when paired with Aguila\u2019s Minishell and the OpSol Mini-clip adapter. While the standard 12-guage 00 buckshot loads were less than pleasant to shoot, the Minishell greatly reduced recoil while maintaining lethal effectiveness. Recoil matters with the Shockwave, primarily because you\u2019re not shouldering the shotgun, and hence your hands rather than your body are absorbing the majority of recoil. Since there\u2019s obviously far less mass in your hands than your body to absorb recoil, it is felt all the more. \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"NEW: NON-NFA Shockwave now 20 Gauge\u2014 Mossberg's Ultimate Truck Gun\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-85261\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-raptor-grip-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"NEW: NON-NFA Shockwave now 20 Gauge\u2014 Mossberg's Ultimate Truck Gun\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-raptor-grip-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-raptor-grip-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-raptor-grip-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-raptor-grip-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/03-raptor-grip.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_85260\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85260\" title=\"NEW: NON-NFA Shockwave now 20 Gauge\u2014 Mossberg's Ultimate Truck Gun\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-85260\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/02-seven-yards-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"NEW: NON-NFA Shockwave now 20 Gauge\u2014 Mossberg's Ultimate Truck Gun\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/02-seven-yards-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/02-seven-yards-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/02-seven-yards-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/02-seven-yards-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/02-seven-yards.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-85260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From 7 yards, the 20-gauge Shockwave delivers a tight, lethal cluster of buckshot from Federal Premium\u2019s 2\u00be loads that carry a ton of stopping power.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I tested the Shockwave with Federal Premium\u2019s Personal Defense 2\u00be-inch No. 4 buckshot loads. Copper-plated and offering acceptable penetration inside the home, the No. 4 buck sends 24 pellets at roughly 1,100 fps. As compared to 00 buck, No. 4 buckshot will penetrate roughly half as far, somewhere in the 7- to 9-inch range, but will deliver more pellets on target (of lesser weight). No. 4 is more ideal for inside the home, as compared to 00, because many 00 buckshot loads will penetrate well beyond the target, creating a real risk of injuring or killing other people in your home.<\/p>\n<h2>The Spread<\/h2>\n<p>One thing to keep in mind is the length of barrel on the Shockwave \u2014 14 inches \u2014\u00a0and how the shorter length affects pellet spread. On a full-length shotgun (20 inches or greater), 00 buckshot has a maximum range of close to 20 yards \u2014 where all the pellets are still on target \u2014 and beyond 30 yards something like half of your pellets are off the target. With a shorter barrel, loads will typically spread out more quickly. Keep in mind, the other major factor is load selection. With the Shockwave, 15-20 yards is about your maximum effective range, depending on load. All that to say, it\u2019s a short-range defensive weapon.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_85267\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85267\" title=\"NEW: NON-NFA Shockwave now 20 Gauge\u2014 Mossberg's Ultimate Truck Gun\" class=\"size-large wp-image-85267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/09-twelve-yards-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"NEW: NON-NFA Shockwave now 20 Gauge\u2014 Mossberg's Ultimate Truck Gun\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/09-twelve-yards-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/09-twelve-yards-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/09-twelve-yards-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/09-twelve-yards-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/09-twelve-yards.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-85267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At 12 yards, the buckshot pattern begins to open, thus \u201cspreading the love\u201d with the 24 pellets on target and creating massive trauma. The combination of Federal Premium buckshot loads and the 590 Shockwave make for a devastating personal defense weapon<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In terms of recoil, what I found was that the 20-gauge No. 4 buckshot loads still produce enough recoil to make the shotgun less than comfortable to shoot, especially on the forend grip. At the back of the synthetic strap there are two rivets where the strap attaches to the pump stock, and this bites into the hand during recoil. Gloves improve things, as does the adrenaline that would be coursing through your veins in a defensive shooting situation.<\/p>\n<h2>Selecting the Gauge<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_85266\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85266\" title=\"NEW: NON-NFA Shockwave now 20 Gauge\u2014 Mossberg's Ultimate Truck Gun\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-85266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/08-federal-prem-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"NEW: NON-NFA Shockwave now 20 Gauge\u2014 Mossberg's Ultimate Truck Gun\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/08-federal-prem-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/08-federal-prem-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/08-federal-prem-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/08-federal-prem-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/08-federal-prem.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-85266\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Range testing was conducted with Federal Premium\u2019s Personal Defense 20-gauge loads buckshot loads.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While it\u2019s nice to have a 20-gauge option, one thing to consider is the selection and availability of 20-gauge buckshot loads in your area. Federal Premium, Winchester, and Remington all produce them, but at least in my neck of the woods it\u2019s far easier to find any defensive load in 12 gauge (except for the Minishell), especially if you\u2019re looking on the shelves of your local hardware store. Still, a brief web search will get you everything you need, and there are some fantastic defensive loads out there for the venerable 20.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shoulder or Hip? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One common myth is that a compact shotgun like the Shockwave can\u2019t be raised to eye level to shoot, lest the recoil punch you in the face. Well, folks, there\u2019s a reason it\u2019s got a front bead sight on it. While hip shooting is remarkably effective at close range and with a few practice shots, the Shockwave can be easily fired at eye level without giving you a black eye. This is true for both the 12- and 20-gauge models. One thing I\u2019ve noticed is that without a buttstock and proper cheek weld, I tend to shoot high. With a little practice, it\u2019s easy to make the adjustment.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_85265\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85265\" title=\"NEW: NON-NFA Shockwave now 20 Gauge\u2014 Mossberg's Ultimate Truck Gun\" class=\"wp-image-85265 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gastatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/07-front-sight.jpg\" alt=\"NEW: NON-NFA Shockwave now 20 Gauge\u2014 Mossberg's Ultimate Truck Gun\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/07-front-sight.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/07-front-sight-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/07-front-sight-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/07-front-sight-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/07-front-sight-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-85265\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 590 Shockwave features a brass bead front sight and has a total capacity of six shells.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Range Tested, Gun Writer Approved <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I tested the Shockwave using Federal Premium Personal Defense No. 4 buckshot loads at 7 and 12 yards, and in both instances, it was highly effective. At 7 yards there was a tight cluster of trauma, with 24 pellets entering the vital zone. At 12 yards all pellets were within an 18-inch spread, giving me confidence that it would easily be a devastating 15-yard defensive shotgun, perfect for the truck or home.<\/p>\n<p>The 590 design has stood the test of time, and the Raptor grip works well to reduce size and recoil. In my opinion, this might be one of the most versatile personal defense weapons on the market today, and it doesn\u2019t require a tax stamp. With No. 4 buck, the Shockwave is capable of delivering 24 pellets <em>all at once <\/em>on target, making it a highly effective way to defend your home, family, or self.
