Free stuff is always good. Free guns are better. And when that free gun is a Mossberg 990 AfterShock SPX, things get downright interesting. Bleecker Street Publications is giving readers the chance to win the Mossberg 990 AfterShock SPX, a compact, feature-loaded 12-gauge semi-auto firearm that looks like Mossberg decided to take everything people love about a tactical shotgun and crank the dial until it broke off. This isn't a participation trophy with a trigger. It's a serious firearm with an MSRP of $1,204, and one lucky winner is going to get it without writing that check.
The Mossberg 990 AfterShock SPX is built around a simple premise: make a compact semi-auto firearm that is fast, maneuverable and ready for modern accessories and then make it look damn good doing it. And Mossberg didn't stop with the basics. The receiver is optic-ready, using an RMSc footprint and including three additional adapter plates for RMR, Docter and Leupold footprint optics. That means the winner isn't stuck living in the past when it comes to aiming solutions.
One of the defining features is the AfterShock grip, which is shaped to provide a firm hold while helping minimize felt recoil. A rubberized palm pad adds shooting comfort, while the grip also incorporates a rear swivel-stud port. That's a particularly welcome feature on a compact 12-gauge. Because while 12 gauge is a glorious thing, physics remains undefeated.
There's something inherently cool about a compact 12-gauge semi-auto firearm. The 990 AfterShock SPX takes that attitude and adds a serious dose of modern capability. This is the kind of firearm that looks right at home on the range, in a collection or anywhere a shooter appreciates a firearm that combines proven function with modern features.
