An official press release from O.F. Mossberg & Sons Inc. thanks local leaders for passing H.B. 1819, which will allow the Mossberg 590 Shockwave, which is manufactured in Texas, to be sold legally in The Lone Star State effective September 1, 2017.
Thanks to efforts by members of the Texas House of Representatives and Texas Senate, House Bill (HB) 1819 passed in May 2017, the Mossberg 590 Shockwave will be legal in the state of Texas, beginning September 1, 2017. The legislation was advanced through the combined efforts of Senators Charles Perry and Craig Estes, Representatives Poncho Nevarez and Drew Springer, the National Rifle Association (NRA®) and Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA®) and clarified Texas state laws concerning the purchase of suppressors and certain firearms, including the 590 Shockwave pump-action. The change in the law hits close to home for Mossberg as the company proudly manufactures the 590 Shockwave at their facility in Eagle Pass, Texas, which is also the home district for Representative Nevarez.

Can these mini rounds work in all pump shotguns?
We have a 500. I like this one mega better.
It kicked harder than my grandfather’s old Essex single barrel.
I've got a Benelli Super 90 Defender, and they really do kick harder than a fixed breech shotgun! I think it's due to the recoil operation. It's also quite finicky about the loads. I've had a few failure to cycle using field loads, but I've also found that the Remington "Low Recoil" LE buckshot work like a charm, and they seem to have less violent recoil.

Slam fire model?
Neither ...... first I’ve heard of this new law in my own state. Doom on me for not being up to date......
Yes, they can, but some shotguns may require the OPSol mini clip adapter that prevents two shell from coming out of the tube simultaneously.

Re #56:
The green light. What product is that please?
Kills at one end, and maims at the other. Great for creating “Tactical Tommy” boners, but I’d consider it to be a weapon of last resort.
It is the LaserLyte Center Mass laser sight. It has a pattern that expands with distance to roughly correspond with a shotgun pellet pattern.
One video from YouTube on a Mossberg shotgun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQL2HtrD8ss
Thank you! :)
Haven't tried that yet.
Don’t think I’d be interested if I can’t put a stock on it.
Still, with a stock and the 1.75 shells it would be handy.
Not a fan of “”really short”” barrel shotguns. I have the Benelli M1 with the 14” entry barrel that I added a Paradigm Gator choke.
It’s a beast with number 4 buck ....

Seems more practical. I’m ok with a 16” 870 with cylinder choke. Old school, patterns good.
You got rain from down south?
They got a steam engine running at the old Como round house. Kinda cool.
And WHY is that?
No rain yet .... we’ve had rain every day for a few weeks. My ole buffalo grass looks awesome ! That storm is allegedly at a dead stop just dumping heavy rainfall ..... supposed to go back its same path into the coast. Yesterday we got an Earthquake north of Irving and a Cat 4 hurricane on the coast , Monday was the Eclipse, 88% here. Drought and floods oh my .....
Will have to road trip up and see Como’s Steam Engine !!!
Have one .... had the “cowboy” action job and modifications done over in Amarillo at Long Hunters on 6th street.... well worth the bucks.
Hello, my friend.... how the heck are ya....
They restored the old depot and laid a short track to the old round house which they cleaned up to store the engine for the winter. They also refurbished the old turntable so they can get the engine in there. The engine, Klondike Kate, complete with coal tender car, is the Klondike Mines Railway #4 narrow gauge steam engine built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1912. It was used by Klondike Mines in Skagway, Alaska (Yukon) until the line closed in 1913.
The track is 1/2 mile or so so far, and the engine may be mothballed in the round house for the season, I haven’t seen it for a while now. Hope they can get a loop around the grounds and run it in a loop.
Como was a rail hub from Denver in the day, the train went over Boreas pass to Breckenridge (there used to be rough men there). The old rail bed is a 4x4 trail these days.
