Hi Steven and welcome. No. The Mossberg 590 Shockwave is classified as a "Pistol Grip Firearm." That is how it will be entered into your A&D Record and recorded on the 4473. It is neither a long-gun nor a handgun. Only long-guns can be sold to those under 21 years old so this firearm can not be sold to anyone under 21 years old. Cheers and stay safe!

Hi Steven, the ATF considers it a "Firearm". It is not a pistol and not a shotgun. It is classified as "AOW", or Any Other Weapon". It is not a pistol grip firearm, as it has no pistol grip. A buyer must be 21 yrs old to purchase. Stay safe & have a great day!

it is just a Firearm and requires purchasers to be 21
