Mossberg Turned The Aftershock Into A Different Animal
About this video
Colion reviews the Mossberg 990 Aftershock SPX shotgun, comparing it to the original Aftershock model he previously covered. He argues that the SPX’s upgraded tactical forend with aggressive checkering completely transforms the shooting experience, providing dramatically better grip and control compared to the original’s strap system. Colion describes this as a ‘PDW shotgun’ or the shotgun equivalent of a ‘get off me’ gun, and recommends that every gun collector should own at least one tricked-out sawed-off variant in this category.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that the SPX’s textured tactical forend provides significantly better traction and control than the original strap-style forend, fundamentally changing how the gun handles and shoots
- According to Colion, the SPX includes practical refinements like M-LOK attachment points, a heat shield, QD ports, improved recoil padding, and optic mounting capability
- Colion argues this represents a ‘PDW shotgun’ concept—a compact, high-power defensive platform that appeals to the shooter’s instinctive desire for capability rather than purely logical justification
