So here’s the deal. Under Ohio law, the legality of the Shockwave was a matter of opinion since Ohio law does not have a provision for a firearm like federal law does. Under Ohio law the shockwave could fall under the definition of a sawed off fire arm. Sawed off firearms under Ohio law are considered dangerous ordnance. Without a license to own dangerous Ordnance from a sheriff they are a felony to possess.
There was a house bill introduced that fixed this gray area of the law. They specifically excluded a firearm under the federal definition of a firearm from the definition of a sawed off firearm. They were also going to specifically exclude the definition of a firearm using the federal language from the definition of a dangerous ordinance. However due to a editing error, instead of putting that definition under the exclusion from dangerous ordnance they added it to what the definition of a dangerous ordnance is.
So now what was a gray area in the law is now clearly a felony for people to possess a shockwave type firearm. The buckeye firearms association is aware of the year and is going to try and fix it after the first of the year. The problem is the bill that went to the governor‘s desk has that definition in the wrong spot. So if he signs that or if he vetoes it and the house and senate override his veto then there are a lot of people in Ohio that own a shockwave already who will now be felons.
So here is the substitute bill that was sent to the governors office. You’ll want to scroll down to the 2923.11 section. The underlined parts are what the added. K(7) should have been added under L(7).

Lon, thanks for taking the time to post the clarification. Chris Ives
At our match today, ended up squadded with Cody from Vang Comp. They say the V3 is well designed, reliable and they are working on sights for it.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Shot my V3 Tac-13 today about 80 rounds. Mixed feelings.
Fiocchi OOB 1300fps ran flawlessly.
Federal 00B Flight Control had 1 failure to eject in 5 rounds.
I liked the vent rib barrel better than the Tac-14 , 870 plain barrel. It seemed easier to line up.
Sometimes pulling back the bolt handle would chamber a round sometimes not ? I need to work on a manual of arms. It did not seem to want to respond in a consistent way to the same manipulations. Probably operator error.
Once a round is chambered it shoots smoothly.
Federal 00B Flight Control at 7 yards is < 2" pattern. This was consistent. For scale the head is 6" wide.
My 870 Tac-14 is much faster to get firing from chamber empty. V3 Tac-13 seems easier to fire fast once chambered. Shotgun safeties suck, so I need a fast reliable way to chamber a round.
Will Vang Comp 870 dome safeties work in the V3 ?
Using push /pull it was easy to transition between targets.

Reading the manual, that should not happen unless you have accidentally operated the magazine cutoff button.
