Mossberg 590 Shockwave Shotgun in .410 : Self Defense or Range Toy?
The Mossberg 590 Shockwave in .410 bore is legally classified as an 'other' firearm, allowing a 14-inch barrel without NFA restrictions. Its bird's head grip and light recoil make it suitable for recoil-sensitive individuals or as a home defense option. While capacity is limited, .410 self-defense ammunition is readily available, and pattern testing shows effectiveness at close range.
