Mossberg 590 night stick

[Jackam]

GunsAmerica just posted a review on the new Mossberg 590 Nightstick.

I'm not sure that I would have included the video. Pay attention at about the 50 second point.
There was an edit in there as well, and that's the best that could be shown?!

Here's the video:

At 1:10 he calls it "useful." I disagree with that. These seem completely pointless to me unless you're just in it for fun (and there's nothing wrong with that).

Useful is relative term. Some people have found the Shockwaves useful for home defense, you can aim them at eye level like a regular shotgun. There is a guy on youtube who has hunted and killed several deer with his. So "useful" is whatever you use it for.

You can sort of aim it at eye level like a regular shotgun, but then you'd be way better off with a regular shotgun.

I get that they were designed as a way to thumb one's nose at the NFA and I absolutely appreciate that. But other than hip shooting a round a sporting clays these things are inferior to the same shotgun with a proper stock like 99.9% of the time.

And that's not meant to knock them. Take joy in the fact that they're stupid/pointless. Those are some of my favorite features of a toy. But don't pretend that these make any sense for personal defense/hunting/competition/etc.

Mine goes camping with me.
And mine is the sub-26" AOW, so it gets carried like a pistol.
I think that's kind of useful.

dont care WE can have them

He short shucked it. It's easy to do with these. I have one exactly like it, except I added aftermarket wood furnature. It's great fun, that is its purpose for me.

I did add a Laserlyte centermass laser on a magazine tube mount, an Olight mini on the reciever rail, a heat shield and a magazine cap spike to stick in Zombie eyes.

Yeah, and it looked like the shotgun was barfing shotgun shells!

Can be shot the same way as a regular shotgun but is shorter and lighter. that seems pretty useful to me. The fact that you can't see any legitimate use/point for them just means you are blind.

I’ve watched that video and still see it as a novelty gimmick. But I’m not telling anybody not to buy what they like.
