The new 20 gauge Mossberg 590 Shockwave features their signature Shockwave RaptorA(R) bird's head style pistol grip which allows the shooter to gain a firmer grip for less felt recoil. Like all Mossberg pump-action shotguns, it comes equipped with an ambidextrous safety that is easily operable. The 590 Shockwave's other attributes include a clean-out tube magazine cap, a front bead sight, and strapped forend to keep the shooters hand clear of the muzzle while firing.
