Effectively it's the same loophole as a pistol AR using a "arm brace" stock.
Not really. It's more accurate to compare the Taurus Judge to a pistol AR because they're both legally pistols in calibers that historically were used in guns fired from the shoulder.
The Mossberg Shockwave does exploit the same loophole as the
Franklin Armory XO-26b. Operated with two hands but no stock and too long to fall in the AOW trap.

Drain the swamp!
Quoting from that TTAG article:
And then I remembered something one of the guys at the gun store said, and it was perfect: trunk gun. A firearm small enough to be unobtrusive and not take up a lot of space in the trunk of your car, but if you ever were in enough trouble that you needed some extra firepower it would be there waiting. Definitely a low probability situation, but it would be the perfect tool for the job.
That is EXACTLY why I want a Shockwave. I usually keep a storage bin/locker box in the back of my SUV, with assorted "stuff" in it - trailer ball hitch, tire gauge, small air compressor that runs off the cigarette lighter, jumper cables, etc. etc. My 20" barreled Mossberg 590A1 is about 3" too long to even fit diagonally in that box, so an 18" shotgun wouldn't work either. But the Shockwave would be perfect. I have a small gun-bag I can put it in, along with a bandolier of ammo, and that can all go in the box. If I drove a sedan, I'd just go with the bigger gun and keep it in the trunk. But I drive an SUV, so keeping a full length shotgun out of sight is a little more problematic.
