Mossberg 590 Schockwave - 12g or 20g?

Yup, it's made to be fired from the hip.

I don't shoot my 20ga from the hip. I point and aim it. Wouldn't do that with a 12ga, though.

Without reading all the pages I do believe they are making low recoil buckshot loads. IIRC I think they are law enforcement rds. There might be a civilian version also. I'm not a shotgun owner just going by what I've read. I'm sure someone can set me straight here on this.

If it’s just you using it I would recommend the 12. But if your wife or kids are using I would definitely go with the 20.

I don't shoot my 20ga from the hip. I point and aim it. Wouldn't do that with a 12ga, though.

If you check out my prior post (#65) you'll see that I'm quite able to aim it from the hip.......by using the bull-dot green laser.

I would say 20ga if leaving as a shockwave, but 12ga if you want to do an sbs

I've got a mess of mini shells and an insert/ adapter for the mossberg. I can't wait to find one.

1) these NFA shotguns may not be legal for very long based on ATF bs.

2) they are really meant for hip-fire (get a laser)

3) the Remington line shows bad surface rusting despite the black coating

4) 12 gauge is more versatile IMHO

5) buy what you like

*i got the remmy 12ga because I wanted the base for a project. New ceramic coating, laser, etc. it’s badass
