Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between the Mossberg 590S Shockwave and the Remington V3 Tac-13?

The Mossberg 590S Shockwave's key advantage is its ability to reliably cycle mini-shells, increasing capacity and offering ammunition flexibility. The Remington V3 Tac-13 features a semi-automatic VersaMax gas system for reduced recoil and a faster rate of fire, but does not accept mini-shells and is generally more expensive and harder to find.

Which shotgun has less recoil, the Mossberg 590S or the Remington V3 Tac-13?

The Remington V3 Tac-13 generally offers less felt recoil due to its semi-automatic VersaMax gas system, which is designed to vent gas and mitigate recoil. The Mossberg 590S, being a pump-action, exhibits more pronounced recoil, especially with higher-velocity loads.

Can the Mossberg 590S Shockwave fire mini-shells?

Yes, the Mossberg 590S Shockwave features a re-engineered feed system specifically designed to reliably accept and cycle 1.75-inch mini-shells, a significant upgrade over previous Shockwave models. This allows for higher ammunition capacity.

What is the price difference between the Mossberg 590S Shockwave and the Remington V3 Tac-13?

The Mossberg 590S Shockwave has an MSRP of $630. The Remington V3 Tac-13 originally had an MSRP around $900 but is now often found for over $1100 and is scarce, making the Mossberg the more budget-friendly option.
