Great price and thanks for the feedback.

Something like a tail cap , with a click switch, that could be retro fitted to existing lights . Just a thought.

Could you just loosen the battery compartment cap?

@@k_sey.9370 yes , that does work , but , its in a tight spot and can't be done quickly, then there's the possibility of the cap coming off and getting lost .

The original Mossberg forend strap is fasten with four short screws that are tapped into the plastic under body. If that's the same for the magpul, you might consider moving it from the magpul forend to the Streamlight. Just a thought. Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive commenst.

Indeed, GG&G provides a great selection of good options. The CDM mount I used actually was excellent, but the Modkin quick mount just didn't work. Of course, the slim design of the Streamlight, as you point out, wins overall. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

That thing seems pretty sloppy to me. Maybe I did something wrong.

@@codyeynon8467 your gg&g is sloppy? Mine has some play a little wiggle but nothing I notice unless I grab it and try to move it.

@@nickshowsstuff435 Perhaps that is as good as it gets? I feel like it shouldn't move. At all.

You may notice that my Shockwave in this review is the 20 gauge version so my problem was different from what you describe. However, I did a follow-up video on how to modify the Streamlight to fit the 20 gauge properly. (See ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kuJxrFVG5ao.html) As of today, that fix has worked perfectly without any problems. As for the forend nut not screwing down in your situation, it would seem that the attachment should be firm on the forend itself, but I don't think over-tightening would be a good idea. Of course the forend unit's attachment via its rails allows for quite a bit of play around the shell tube which would be normal. Hope this helps.

If you go to the Mossberg website and search for "parts and accessories" for the Shockwave you'll find the NC Star Tactical Shotgun Scabbard @ $22 and you'll also find the Shockwave/Cruiser Case @ $25. I have the "scabbard", which with the Streamlight and the shell side-saddle is a tight fit. The "case" looks like it might be a better fit overall. For only $25 I might get one. However, the scabbard I received from Mossberg is well made and for $22, I thought it was a great buy. If you don't have the shell side-saddle on yours, the scabbard should be fine.

Thanks for the feedback. Always appreciated. If you have the Mossberg Shockwave 12 gauge I believe you have two choices when it come to Tacstar --- the 4 Shell Carrier or the 6 shell Sidesaddle model. The 4 Shell Carrier, from what I can see, looks like it might be less intrusive so might work better for you as a lefty. I have the 4 Shell Carrier on mine and it seems OK when I hold the gun in my left hand. No problems. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

Thanks. My Shockwave is actually the 20 GA with a 14 inch barrel. The action tube is the same if you count the end cap. Note Episode #202220 for how to modify the Streamlight Racker to fit the 20 GA Shockwave. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

I'm not sure. But that would make sense since the 590M is designed around the Mossberg 590, which is where the 590 Shockwave came from as well. You might check on replacement fore end for the 590 and see if the 590M is included. Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive comment. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

Yep, it's 8 inches overall. It replaces the original fore end. It should fit just fine on the magazine tube under the 14 inch barrel on your 12 gauge 590 Shockwave. Thanks for the question thanks for watching. If you haven't already, I hope you'll check out my other "Mick Mac" Tabletop Review videos on RU-vid and Rumble. By the way, if your Shockwave 590 is the 20 gauge model, you'll need to make modifications to fit. See ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kuJxrFVG5ao.html

Mine is indeed the 20 gauge Shockwave. The Crimson Trace "Lasersaddle" model is the LS-250. It comes in red laser for about $160 or green laser for about $210. I went for the green laser. Good price. I see that OpticsPlanet.com has them available, but check around for a better price. You never know. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive comment.

By the way, note that the Streamlight TL Racker won't fit the 20 gauge Shockwave without a modification. See my video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jp0GNiKNKMA.html on that issue and the fix if you need. Best wishes.

Very well indeed. The fact that the Crimson Trace laser is green really helps in that regard. It's brighter and travels farther than a red laser would. So even with the tactical flashlight on, the laser is clearly viable. It's even easily visible in sunlit conditions. Thanks for watching and thanks for the question.

I've found I've learned to keep my fingers down away from the activation area on the Racker so that I don't have the light going on when I don't want it. As for the light beam moving around when I do have it on and I'm racking, the light beam is so dispersed and so bright, I'm not at all distracted. In fact I hadn't even thought of it until you asked the question. But no, no problem at all. Thanks for watching and thanks for the question. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

Due to the attachment at the end of the action arms, some rotation can be expected. If it rotates more than about a 1/4 inch, something's wrong. I assume you have the 12 gauge Shockwave. The Streamlight TL Racker won't work on the 20 gauge without some modification. It will be too loose unless you add a correcting tube (see my suggested fix for 20 gauge installation at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jp0GNiKNKMA.html).

Sure. No problem. Their ad suggest the Streamlight TL Racker is "Compatible with Mossberg 500®/590®, 590® Shockwave, and Remington® Model 870™". You should know that we're talking about the 12 Gauge. If you have a 20 gauge, you'll need to make a modification (see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kuJxrFVG5ao.html ). Thanks for taking the time to comment.

If you go back to my review of the Mossberg 590 Shockwave at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ywNULzNUl2M.html you'll see all that is required for disassembly and reassembly of the Shockwave including the hex driver, punch, plastic hammer, etc. I also suggest getting a fore-end retaining nut tool (Amazon). Except for the retaining nut tool, for whatever you might need that isn't included with your Shockwave, everything is fairly inexpensive basic tool stuff (Harbor Freight or Home Depot).

@@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 I actually sent Remington a message inquiring the reasoning or if one was in the works for release they sent me back and I quote 'We don't make that.'

I do like the SPX's heat shield. Very cool! I also like a shell carrier on my Shockwave. Everything is right there on the gun when I grab it. Thanks for for watching and if you haven't already, I hope you'll check out my other "Mick Mac" Tabletop Review videos on RU-vid.

Looks cool? Try cleaning under the heat shield

Thanks for taking the time to post a question. I don't see why it wouldn't since Streamlight says their TL Racker is Compatible with the Mossberg 500 and 590 shotguns --- 12 Gauge - 7 3/4" Action slide 500 and 590 series.

You bring up a good discussion point. As an example, the fore-guard on the short Ruger PC Charger 9 is a little over 1.25 inches and the cut-in space on the Steamlight Tracker is about 1 inch, but also provides a larger surface area. Both would seem to provide a good blocking in their designs, keeping the hand from accidentally moving forward. The Ruger doesn't seem to need a safety strap. But obviously since you're racking the fore-end forward on the Streamlight, the risk is increased so a strap has been added. Personally, I'll keep the strap.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear Streamlight was responsive to your issue.

Due to the attachment at the end of the action arms, some rotation on the loading tube can be expected. On mine it's about 1/2 inch when fully extended forward. If it seems like it want's to pull down and away or slide off forward or back or rotates more than about 1/2 on the tube, something's wrong. I assume you have the 12 gauge Shockwave. The Streamlight TL Racker won't work on the 20 gauge without some modification. It will be too loose unless you add a correcting tube (see my suggested fix for 20 gauge installation at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jp0GNiKNKMA.html).

@@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 I went ahead and bought the black one as I've seen a bunch of people use it. Also, 8:35 the only model in the list you show that fits is the 69602.

@@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 Turns out the black one is the wrong one, unless you disassemble the gun like you did. If you have the longer one, you can do it without disassembly.

The strap you see on the Streamlight Racker in this video is the one that came with it. This strap was too long for my comfort, so I cut a bit off and had it sown by a canvas shop. In a more recent video (posted this month in fact) you can see the Racker with the modified strap.

There is no model number for the Streamlight TL Racker. Streamlight just list this product as "Works with Mossberg 500®/590®, 590 Shockwave and Remington 870™". However, note that the TL Racker will only fit 12 GA applications. I suggest a simple modification needed to fit a 20 GA 590 Shockwave at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kuJxrFVG5ao.html Thanks for watching.
