Mossberg now delivers the ultimate lightweight and low-recoiling home defense platform with the announcement of the 590 Shockwave in 410 bore. This compact firearm features a 14-inch barrel length; Raptor® pistol grip; strapped forend; impressive 6-round total capacity; and weighs in at a mere 4.24 pounds.
Built on Mossberg’s proven pump-action design, the 590 Shockwave features non-binding twin action bars; positive steel-to-steel lock-up; an anti-jam elevator; dual extractors; and ambidextrous top-mounted safety. The 590 design also includes an anodized aluminum receiver, drilled and tapped for ease of adding optics, and a magazine tube with a convenient clean-out cap.
The 410 bore offering is 2 ½ and 3-inch capable; features a 14-inch heavy-walled, cylinder bore barrel with single bead sight; and sling swivel studs. The Shockwave Raptor pistol grip, constructed of durable polymer, has an enhanced textured finish and “bird’s head” shaped profile, allowing for greater control while lessening felt recoil. The cob-styled, synthetic forend is strapped for safety, greater control, and smoother operation. The grip and forend feature a black finish and exposed metalwork has a complementing matte blue finish.
With an overall length of 26.37 inches, the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) has classified this compact 590 Shockwave platform as a “Non-NFA Firearm,” requiring no tax stamp for transfers.

Problems right out of the box
Fun to shoot, but right out of the box every 3rd or 4th shell would just fall out the bottom instead of feeding into the chamber. Contacted Mossberg and was told that I’ll have to ship the gun to Virden for any warranty service (at my expense). I have to figure out if it’s cheaper to ship the gun to and from Virden or pay a local gunsmith to have a look at it. I’ll buy the Remington next time.

Fun to shoot
Bought my shockwave last summer of 2019 and enjoyed shooting it. I used a federal shorty shotshells and i can put 10 rounds on it. Just dont forget to buy OPSol Insert so that the small rounds will feed properly. Also a very nice home defense firearm.
