The average person that shot one would drop it/lose their firing grip on it, short stroke it, massively flinch on the second shot, not practice with it at all. Edit: so people who criticize these things have some legitimate points. Many massively overestimate their abilities in stressful situations.

@carlrooker 7 месяцев назад

@@Joe-hz1nw All of which can be resolved very quickly and easily by going out with some friends that know what they're doing first. It's not that the gun is impractical, it is that some people using it are being impractical. As with any gun, if you don't know what you're doing with it, you're going to have problems.

@Joe-hz1nw 7 месяцев назад

@@carlrooker Virtually no one does that, even if they did they wouldn’t practice enough to reinforce it, they go to the range once a year with crappy fundamentals, so it’s not even worth talking about. We are talking about the average person that buys a 12 ga. shotgun without a stock. Even those who shoot often and know what they are doing, I’d argue 98% of them aren’t at the range practicing moving and shooting with their shockwave on the clock. In contrast, at least some people do that with a shotgun with a stock, a handgun, and a rifle (or at least one of the 3). They’d be much better off with one of those three they practice with under a degree of stress (or a more self defense oriented version of the gun they use to compete with).

I have a Mossberg Shockwave 590S which can cycle short shells (1 3/4"). 8 of them can fit in the tube magazine. And much less recoil. Good for home defense. Laser and flashlight for shooting from the hip or in front of your chest. The 590S has a built-in adapter which allows it to cycle 3" through 1.75" 12-gauge shells interchangeably.

@wadelucero6461 7 месяцев назад

My thoughts exactly I'm glad I read yours now I don't have to comment😹😹

@guillermomaguire5394 7 месяцев назад

The 590S has its attributes. The problem with it is the problem with all shotguns. When you are racking the gun under duress, in odd positions, etc....as you may defending your home, the minishell can flip, or even exit the ejection port. Put another way, a regular shell needs a receiver with a 3" opening. A minishell needs a receiver with a 1.6"(ish) opening. Only the OPSol Flex Adapter transforms the receiver into a mini-receiver.

@jefflemaster2850 7 месяцев назад

@@guillermomaguire5394is the flex adapter different from the regular opsol adapter? I have an opsol adapter and it works fine for Aguila 1.75” (1.5”) actual but not for Nobel 2.25” (1 7/8”) actual. The Nobel shells are too long to function with the adapter. Any recommendations?

The Shockwave was introduced at Shot show 2017. They unveiled it with our OPSol adapter and Aguila minishells. That day, quite literally was the day when a lot of people learned about minishells at all. For our part, we started the project in 2013, and started selling the adapter in 2015. With minishells, your middle school kids can handle the Shockwave, but the whole idea behind our adapter and minishells was based on the Maverick 88.

Thanks a good fun demo. But what about with a pistol grip? I always thought a pistol grip would handle recoil better.

@pauldietrich6790 7 месяцев назад

Pistol grips snap the wrist. The recoil ends up where you grasp it at, you need to cock wrist awkwardly and you end up eating the recoil instead of letting it rock / roll to deal with the recoil impulse. it's not a good set up at all , at least for me IMHO. 6 shot or lighter with 2 3/4...Mine was the older "persuader" in 12 Ga. It's just the wrong set up. This makes way more sense and eventually I'd like to try one of those...
