I was watching Shooting Gallery and they had problems hitting a man-sized target at ten yards using buckshot. For HD I want a stock. These are selling like hotcakes though.

Cool, but useless IMO. Pistol grip cruiser model is way better. There is the cool factor though.

I have the 870 version, the Tac-14 and absolutely love it. Ton of fun to shoot and very maneuverable. Very controllable and pleasant to shoot from the hip, but a bear if you try holding it up tonight like a pistol or traditional shotgun.

Get a pistol.


The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

All I know, and all I need to know, is that it’s a Mossberg.

If you are set on getting one, check out Palmetto State Armory. They are having great deals on them right now.

If you think you are going to one hand it with 000 Buckshot I got news for you, your not going to be able to hold on to it. With the right technique center hits at 20 yards are not an issue. That price is high FYI

I think those shotguns without stocks need a laser so you can shoot them from the hip.

Did not realize it until reading this article, but these are manufactured in Eagle Pass.

"The change in the law hits close to home for Mossberg as the company proudly manufactures the 590 Shockwave at their facility in Eagle Pass, Texas, which is also the home district for Representative Nevarez."
