A: Hi Jonathan and welcome. The finish is "Black". Blued is an old terminology formally used to describe the process "blueing" of adding the finish. Today it could have either a blue hue or black hue. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Mini shells without an adaptor.

A: Hi and welcome. Yes Sir, the 590S models were designed specifically to cycle mini-shells reliably without needing an adapter. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

A: Hi David and welcome. This is correct. The birdshead grip is legal because it counts towards the OAL(over all length) if you put a regular 90 degree pistol grip on it it becomes a short barrel shotgun needing NFA registration and $200 Tax Stamp. Cheers and stay safe!.

A: Yes, the Mossberg 590 Shockwave with a pistol grip is legal federally. The ATF classifies firearms with pistol grips but no buttstocks as "pistol grip firearms" (PGFs), which are a middle ground between handguns and shotguns. PGFs are considered standard firearms and don't have the same restrictions as NFA firearms. Mossberg describes the 590 Shockwave as a non-NFA weapon, which means it doesn't require registration or a tax stamp. However, some state and local laws may consider the 590 Shockwave a "short-barreled" shotgun or "assault weapon", which could make it illegal to possess.

A: Hi David, the problem with changing to a pistol grip is that would change the overall length to less than 26". It has to maintain at least 26", or it would be considered concealable. You can add a pistol grip as long as you also add a pistol brace, which keeps the length at over 26". Here is a video with both a pistol brace & pistol grip >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrgaaWyOuPI Stay safe & have a great day!

A: Hi Brandon, yes sir, this is legal to own in MD. It is on the MD approved handgun roster. (any firearm with a barrel length less than 16" in Maryland and defined as a "handgun" must appear on the Maryland Handgun Roster) Stay safe & have a great day!

A: Hi Brandon and welcome. Yes, this is 100% legal to purchase/own in the State of Maryland as configured. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

A: Yes, this 590s Shockwave is good to go in MD. Here in NY they consider this an "Other", due to the barrel length, and has since been banned for sale here.

A: yes it is legal in MD

A: the shockwave is a controversial fire are as it is not a shotgun or a pistol. It is essentially a sawed off shotgun that is legal by a loophole in the laws it is not classified as a pistol it is just classified as a firearm "the Shockwave is classified by the ATF as a "firearm" and available to shooters without having to buy a tax stamp or fill out paperwork" range365.com/mossberg-shockwave-gun-test#page-5

A: Hi Dominic and welcome. No, even though classified as a Firearm, CA State laws still restrict the less than 18-inch barrel. California considers anything that was designed to fire a shotgun shell a shotgun, and because the barrel is under 18.5" it'll be considered a short, barreled shotgun there. Essentially, state law trampling over Federal Law. Cheers, stay safe and happy holidays!

A: Hi Dominic, CA gun laws state - " Pistol-grip firearms expelling a shotgun shell that are 26" or longer in overall length, but with smooth-bore barrels shorter than 18" in length are not being transferred by California FFLs. Regardless whether pump-action or semi-automatic, this category includes the Mossberg Shockwave, Remington Tac-14, Emperor Arms Duke / Mogul series, Charles Daly Honcho, RIA VRF14 and the like." Stay safe & have a great day!
