    Greg at Jersey City Armory had the best prices around compared to most NJ FFLs in the 90's. He had a website and could probably order what you wanted if asked. No retail store front as he worked out of his home and you would have to schedule an appointment for pick up. Unfortunately, the city hassled him so much that he moved out of state. Purchased my Benelli M3 from him, 300.00 cheaper than what other places were asking for.

    I bought a Sig 225 from Greg back in 98 or so for about 400 dollars.  His basement was like a gun warehouse with an incredible variety of merchandise.  Greg told me that once in a while he would fire one or two shots in his basement to try out a handgun.  His own indoor range without ventilation of course, lol.

    Both

    Your hand doesn't fall on the forend naturally so it feels awkward.  Aimming is subjective, but verticle foregrips on pump guns suck.

    I think you are right, I tried to imagine racking the pump using the strap as a makeshift vertical grip on my shockwave and the angle felt all wrong.  I think it has to do with the fact that the shockwave grip is more or less horizontal and it makes for some very awkward mechanics with a vertical foregrip.

    All that being said it seems that a vertical grip would make much more sense on a super compact with no stock and a traditional pistol grip like the Serbu or the Mossberg Compact Cruiser.  Here the two grips would be complementary.

    The Serbu grip, although it looks cool, makes it more uncomfortable to shoot.  

    Recoil wise or more difficult to aim? You are right on the cool factor though; Mossberg must have gotten tired of Serbu making money with their Super Shorty based on the 500 platform and just created their own version in the compact cruiser aow's.

    I believe that ATF ruled you can't put a vertical grip on a shockwave, similar to a handgun.

    Do you know if that was in a formal letter like the original approval?

    Serbu markets the whole pump handle assembly to the shockwave market.

    "Made by Serbu Firearms from both Remington/Mossberg parts in addition to our own manufactured parts. Compatible with either Remington 870 shotgun or Mossberg 500/590 (including shockwave models)."

    ...for the buckshot that you have to buy from them.

    I've been to Longshot twice and never had an issue using Remington and Rio  double-aught low recoil buckshot.  Today I noticed that the website limits shotguns to slugs only and when I called was told that they had changed the range rules.  You can still use your own slugs but if you want to shoot buckshot you have to buy it from them and they only approve Winchester Ranger buckshot.  I also asked if you could simply bring in the "approved ammo" from outside and could not get a straight answer.

    I just picked up my Shockwave in FDE from Jack this morning and I must say I concur with the reviews in this thread; he's a great guy to do business with. 

    We had a hiccup with the Nics problems last week but Jack kept on top of it and kept me updated throughout.  Couldn't ask for better customer service.

    With those dogs I'm not really sure he needs any guns for home defense.

    Actually I just found this on the Bullet Hole website.  Maybe it's a different backstop to prevent ricochet?

    I went to the range this morning and there were only a couple of other guys there sharing a lane at around 11:30.  Great place to shoot as one would expect from a brand new state of the art range.  I shot my mossberg 590 with 18.5 barrel and the noise level wasn't bad at all with plugs and muffs.  This was a pleasant surprise and a world of difference from Bullethole.   One RO present who seemed pretty cool; near the end I asked if it was ok to shoot a slug as I had shot buckshot up to that point.  He said he was 90% sure it was fine but wanted to go outside and verify which he promptly did.  For me this place is 10 miles exactly from my house--can't beat that.

    I'll pass

    100 clams for a magazine?  And it only comes with 1?  And it's only a 5 rounder?

     

    Adios, lasagna Ray

    I doubt it'll be $100 for a mag when all is said and done.  It does look like they went all out in creating a sturdy mag.
