Has anyone installed a Serbu vertical foregrip on a shockwave?

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)."

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.

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.
