With the light / laser, mine is accurate out to 25 yards. Also, the scabbard that was recommended upthread is perfect for vehicle carry since it just barely covers the full weapon, without adding any unnecessary length. Mine just fits in the passenger wheel well of my BMW if I move the seat back slightly more than normal. From there it is fully concealed, and still an easy reach while I am driving.

It's "upside down" but that only means you need to reverse the adjustments when sighting in the laser. Mine was close enough at 25 yards that I didn't bother making any adjustments.

Red or green laser? How easy is it to see and a aquire your target? Are the paddles easy to operate in that position, or, are you thinking of adding a pressure switch?

Nice! I really need to set mine up for truck carry that was the whole reason in me buying! If you don't mind me asking where did you order your scabbard from?

I changed my forend to a Magpul and added a Sure Fire underneath the forend. I added a Fast Fire on the top. I used slugs and "sighted it in from about 13-15 yards." These are a blast to shoot. I believe it is sufficiently for the truck and my hallway (if I don't grab the AR first).

That light on the fore end will definitely keep your front hand out of harms way.

Just in case you want to spend even more money on your Shockwave, I give you this: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017 ... shockwave/

It only adds $214 to the cost of your Shockwave......or about another 50%.

I finally picked one of these up today, on a whim while browsing the LGS. Call me paranoid, but I'm thinking after bump stocks, other things are going to be further scrutinized and it's cheap enough. Easy choice. I got the two tone, and it feels pretty easy to handle. I will try to get out and fire it in the next few weeks. I just hope it isn't as stout as the pistol grip Mossy 500.

Total different animal. The birdshead grip to me is a lot easier.

Wow! Isn't that what The Terminator carried in that movie?

I've never shot a pistol grip SG, but I agree that the grip on the Shockwve is not bad. The strap on the forend helps. I can see that the physiology of shooting a pistol grip requires a different angle on the wrist. , while the bird's head has my wrist and hand aligned with my forearm.

Could be.... I don’t know. All I know is that if your gun is short, you have to take steps to make it look bigger. I figure this kit is kind of like the proverbial stuffed sock in the pants...... I especially like the little stabby thing at the end.......as if a load of 12 gauge buckshot won’t hurt bad enough, here, let me poke you real hard too. But I don’t believe that full effect is achieved though unless you’re wearing a heavy biker jacket, have a German accent, and red glow-in-the-dark eyeballs that display data on the retinas.

Plus, the full length rail is pretty handy if you want to mount a US Optics long range sniper scope, or maybe a headlight off of an old Buick, or maybe even one of the early starlight scopes they used to put on the M2 carbines.........it can even double as a cheese grater for those late night grilled cheese Sammie’s in a fox hole. Who doesn’t remember those fondly?

This is the scabbard I ordered. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product ... ?a=1699245 It works perfectly for me. Just (barely) covers the full length of the Shockwave, and fits perfectly in the passengers seat well of my car as long as I have the seat all the way back (I hardly ever have passengers in the back seats, so that isn't an issue for me).

Mine is red. It shows up very clearly even when I have the light activated (there is a switch to choose light only, laser only, or light and laser). The paddle is super easy to operate, since it is just above my trigger finger when I pick up the gun.
