The Mossberg Maverick 88 is a tried-and-true tactical shotgun with a long tradition of admiration from both pros and enthusiasts alike. It has rugged construction, is reasonably priced, reliable, and easy for home defense and range shooting. For something prestigious like the Maverick 88, which earns its stripes day after day, a couple of well-chosen upgrades would do some good, and one of the more functional upgrades would be adding a heat shield.


Reason for Installing a Heat Shield?


A good heat shield (like this one for the Mossberg Maverick 88) offers a measure of protection against barrel heat, especially when rapid fire or extended use at the range is concerned. More crucially, it separates your hand from that HOT barrel surface, reducing the chance of burning and thereby allowing one-handed, heated-hand safe handling during high-stress situations.


Mossberg Maverick 88 Heat Shield Design Specs


This heat shield has been built to fit the standard barrel profile of the Maverick 88 making it an enviable tactical accessory for proper heat protection and sportier looks for your shotgun. Most heat shields are made from high-strength metal and finished with matte black coating against corrosion and wear; installation is quite simple, often without needing permanent alterations on the shotgun.


This is that nifty throw-on if you're upgrading your home defense shotgun or simply want to make it prettied.

Shockwave Heat Shield for Compact Defense


Get a heat shield if you're packing a Mossberg Shockwave one of the coolest and most-famous compact, pistol-grip shotguns ever. The Shockwave heat shield fits this gun and lets you grip it tight without burning your hands. Its closed-upness and toughness are well-suited for personal defense.


Already boasting a quite tight profile, the Shockwave has the added benefit of having a lightweight heat shield that retains overall high maneuverability but adds that tactical edge which many shooters enjoy looking for. Like its Maverick 88 cousin, the Shockwave heat shield is usually incredibly easy to install and doesn't need any irreversible changes to your firearm.


Final Thoughts


More than just a cosmetic upgrade, adding a Mossberg Maverick 88 heat shield or Shockwave heat shield is a functional enhancement that increases safety and control as well as confidence. Whether on home defense or tuning up at the range, a good heat shield is a wise investment in performance and protection.
