Maverick 88 is the epitome of :
Price doesn't matter, Self-Defense does...
Ready. 😊
Looks like a top gun, this maverick.
That was painful
😂
So cheesy but yet so good.
For hunting Goose?
I just lost some appreciation for comedy 😥
The Maverick 88 is easily the best $200 I spent on a firearm.
I got mine at my local Academy a year or so back. Got the 18 1/2" barrel model. It was priced at $199. But after the 20% in store discount they gave me, I got it for $160- brand new ! One hec of a deal.
Same!
Agreed No Doubt
wish it was still $200!
@@walkr7998 They are. Can find many online for that.
I’m nearing 11,000 rounds through mine. Everything from buck shot, bird shot, slugs, dragon’s breath, and more. Cleaned it probably 4-6 times and I’ve had zero issues. Absolutely the best $180 I’ve ever spent (yay sales)!
That's 3k worth of ammo tho lol
@@ammana6553 it hurts more when you put it like that :(
Lol i never cleaned mines
@@ammana6553 But think about all the training and range time 11,000 rounds is. Versus 2 grand for a M1014. I think it's definitely worth it to start out with the maverick, spend the 2 grand on shooting it... then down the line upgrade to a nicer scatter.
I got my Maverick 88 for free from an old ex buddy. I shoot it every now and then and idk there’s just something about it that I favor over the Mossberg 500 Persuader. It just sounds like a shotgun should
My first shotgun and still have it. Love it. The poor man's Mossberg 500 😊
I put my hamster in a sock and slammed it against the furniture
It's my favorite cheap pump. And is 20" barrel,they will hold 9 2 3/4
@@TippyHippy Get some help.
My first was a single shot 410 as a kid then I got a Mossberg SA20 semi auto 20 gauge and my most recent is this same exact model
Got my Mav 88 about 6 years ago. I trust it with my life. I now own the 590, but my trusty 88 will answer the door first. 20" bbl, 8 shots of 2-3/4" or 13 shots of mini shells (if you can find them)
Picked up a Maverick 88 as my first gun ever when I was around 16 a little over 10 years ago. Cheapest gun in the Wal-Mart case back then. Great gun for the price. I've put thousands of rounds through it with zero issues.
I got mine 2 years ago love it
Also my first from wally world too. I believe I paid about 170 bucks out the door about 15 years ago. Hunted only dove with it and also clay pigeons so far. Very accurate and always been reliable.
@@5thPlaceAce Think I paid around $125 for display case model. Even with stronger buckshot and slugs I can keep dead on target round after round.
@@zegumazim6107 haven't handled any of the more modern versions but they appear to be good with very few changes. I think a majority of the changes have been cosmetic.
Thinking about getting the cruiser 8 shot version...assuming it's not banned his this communist state of Illinois
This gun is quality for such price. Far superior to many Turkish shotguns that are far more expensive.
I BOUGHT A TACTICAL HATSAN 450 DOWN THE DRAIN
Turkish shotguns are actually decent quality for the price usually, but I don't think it would be wise to spend a lot on a Turkish shotgun because it's known that different brands still use the same parts from the same factory as other shotguns to cut costs, although there are still a few good ones out there. However, Italian is the way to go if you're looking for an expensive shotgun imo.
@@cappuccinosnephew1382Watch tfbtvs shotgun burn downs. Most of them are literal trash. Anyone I’ve known that’s gotten them because how cheap they are they’ve always self destruct before even putting a few hundred shells through them.
The ring from the slug hitting the gong was simply satisfying 😌
My very first shotgun that I bought. Now I've have over 30 different shotguns 👍
That's what I'm talkin bout!!
Jesus... Approves
Giving the maverick some love!! Thank you Hickock!! Love them budget beauties!!!!
"It seems well lubed" 😂😂😂
That's what she said!! Lol
My wife bought me a maverick for Christmas last year, what a great woman she is!!!
I keep one of these as my bedside gun and it's perfect in that application. It's cheap enough that I don't care if it gets banged up sitting outside a safe and it's reliable enough to count on in an emergency, even if it hasn't been touched in years.
I absolutely love the Mav88! It has chewed everything I've fed it. It's absolutely a Honda Civic! I prefer this one over the 500, primarily because I like the cross bolt safety.
I've had my 88 since I was 16. (Almost 2 decades ago) I've used it for everything from dove and deer hunting to target shooting and qualified with it when I worked as an armed guard. Thousands of rounds with all original parts and it still works flawlessly. I literally trust this firearm with my life. Is it fancy? No. Is it beautiful? No. Is it a well made piece of American craftsmanship. You bet it is! All hail Hickok! Murica!
maverick 88s are awesome. best “budget” shotgun out there and with the mossberg name behind it.
I bought my first Maverick 88 in 1992 and it still runs flawlessly
Holy shit dude, bet it was way cheaper than today right?
@@rudyhernandez4574 129.00 if I remember correctly
@@mothman1127 best bang for your buck 👍
I wanted to say that this video pushed me to get this as my first (purchased) gun. I saw this review, thought about it, did research because California laws are very stupid and after getting a stupid 'safety' card as well as waiting 10 days, I finally got it yesterday. A few hours playing with snap caps I bought during the waiting period and I can manipulate the gun like a competition shooter lol.
Thank you Hickok, if it weren't for this video, I never would have known one of my dream guns (a mossberg cruiser) was so cheap that even I could afford it! I got a hogue grip and a fiberglass heat shield since I was so impatient during those 10 days, turned my maverick into a badass cruiser the moment I got home.
Part of me is a bit upset at you though, I now have the urge to get an AR, a decent glock, maybe an sks.... dear god what have you done to me
Great first purchase! Fantastic, smooth operating shotgun and best of luck finding a good firing pistol and rifle!
Us,…us brother!!!😂
I own one, love it. Make sure you get the “security model” it holds 7+1 instead of 5+1
Security model comes in 2 versions... 18.5" barrel with a 5+1 capacity and the 20" barrel with a 7+1...i have both
Love these 88’s have the 18.5 inch barrel with pistol grip and the 20 inch model with the extended mag tube.
I gots bofe em.
Holds 12 mini shells
@@Papieck37 I thought the security was the 20inch model, I'll be damned lol now I know
My 88 is over 22 years old and still going strong. I couldn’t even tell you how many rounds have been fired through it over the years but it still looks great. Excellent value for sure.
The Maverick 88 is a great inexpensive shotgun. Go get you one if you haven’t already. Thanks for your time and effort Hickok.
I bought one in 2005 for personal protection while working in New Orleans after Katrina hit and was lucky to find it. I still have it and would have to say without a doubt it was the best $219 I've ever spent on a gun. I've never had the slightest hint of a problem.
It doesn't pretend to be a 500 or 509 but its value as a house and yard gun can't be beat.
What's the recoil on it? Some say it's pretty bad since it's light.
@@TheTruth-sd8ey
Recoil is stout. With high brass shells it can be brutal. I have no complaints but for the average home owner looking for a house gun for protection the whole family can shoot I would recommend this or something similar in 20 ga. The reason is because in a self defense situation the shot should be inside 21 feet where the pattern will still be tight enough to remain effective.
@@Slugg-O I've read this shotgun weighs only 6 lbs. Would such a low weight contribute to a high recoil? Or maybe a hollow polymer stock? How would you compare the recoil from Mossberg Maverick 88 to Mossberg 500, Remington 570 or Winchester SPX Defender? I am deciding between one of those, but my budget is low, since i just bought an AR, so Maverick caught my attention. If i had the money, i'd probably go with Remy, but it's morr than twice the price here.
@@TheTruth-sd8ey to be brief, all NON semi-auto (gas or inertia) recoil is directly proportional to weight (gross and balance). This is buffered by what recoil pad you use.
Therefore: lighter; more recoil (see Newton).
Buy a great RELIABLE firearm, the one you can afford. You can aftermarket the recoil later. It's all about mass (the science version, not Sunday Soul Sessions).
I inherited a Maverick 88 from my wife's late father. I upgraded to a full-length barrel, and I absolutely love it. I shoot a lot of clays and with the full barrel I use it for everything. It's a great gun that proves you do not need to go into debt to get a great shotgun.
I have a buddy who’s had one for 3-4 years. It was his first shotgun and one of the first in our group to get one. We have beat the absolute crap out of that thing and he’s hardly even had to clean it. Phenomenal gun. It’s so phenomenal that just today another buddy of mine was in the market for a shotgun and we went out looking for a 500 or an 88 and he came home with the exact folding stock model that I’ve been been shooting with my other buddy for years. Great gun.
One thing to keep an eye out for, is on these shotguns, there is a pin on the receiver that holds the trigger group and stuff in place, it can work its way out and it's a headache to get back together.
Definitely.
In my case before I learned about the Maverick 88 I never knew in the very beginning that the Maverick 88 is made by Mossberg. I was at Turner’s Outdoorsman in San Bernardino, CA and I saw a 20 inch barrel, 12 Gauge, 7+1 Maverick 88 for sale and it was used for $100.00. I took advantage of that and bought it. I love mine! No complaints, no regrets. It’s very similar to the 500. Just a few minor stuff that are not the same as the 500. Best $100.00 (plus tax) I ever spent on my first pump action shotgun.
Love my 590s shockwave 18.5 and bought the maverick 88 cruiser for a backup and found I really like the 88!
I have both and love them. With the Opsol adapter the 88 can shoot mini shells too, if you can find them😊
I've had my "88" for over 20 years, and it's the only shotgun I use. I've used it across the board from hunting to swapping the barrel to 18.5 and pistol grip for home defense. With 1000+ shots through it, I've never been disappointed!
It's an excellent option for pretty much anyone. The 500 is one of the most common pump action shotguns of all time. Parts are widely available.
The 500 is THE most common Pump-Shotgun. 1960 to Present. 12 Million made. You just don't hear of it advertised as much as the Remington 870, which was produced from 1950 to 2020, and then 2022 to Present. There's almost 12 Million 870s.
Had my Maverick 18"factory pistol grip 8 years,...never a misfire or an issue.
Love it!!
I got an 88 for my 13th birthday, it has the big script Maverick by Mossberg on the side. I treated it like a dog, left it outside, kept it in a musty old barn, hardly cleaned it, but every dove or deer I ever killed was with that gun, and I still have it. Finish looks like black sandpaper and gets surface rust in a flash but it works just fine and hasn't failed, yet.
The 88 works just as good as some shotguns that are twice as much and if it gets a few knicks and scratches on it you don't get as cranky . When I was younger a lot of old guys would say " if you want to miss your deer buy a Mossberg". I have never had a bad experience with one. I did have a butstock split on me once but that was my fault .
I think it's hard to beat for the price point. I did some work for an old lady (I'm a handyman) and she wanted to barter me the shotgun. Has served me well and I feel like it's always good to have a few cheaper options around for SHTF scenarios and maybe you need to arm friends and family.
I bought a Maverick model 88 just like the one you’re demonstrating in this video after watching your first maverick 88 video a number of years ago. The first one I got had a major feeding issue. Even after trying a bunch of different brands of ammo, it would not feed reliably at all. So I took it back to the store, the guy that sold it to me, tested and verified that it was a lemon. He said he has never seen one of these come back in all the years he’s sold firearms. Anyways he swapped it out for another one and it worked flawless!
I just bought one of these a couple of weeks ago and I'm very happy with it. Awesome shotgun and very affordable.
Mine should arrive tomorrow 😀 can't wait to take it to the range
Two guns I wish I never sold: my 10/22 and my Maverick 88. The 88 was a basic, bland but great shotgun. Never jammed, easy to clean, shot well and was built solid, not mention very affordable.
EDIT - I know I can buy them again. I also kept my better ones and have bills to pay... I was just saying how good they were.
there both cheap guns that are easy to get go get 2 new ones? it's not like you sold great grandpappys pre 64 model 70.
Two of the best ever
I only sold mine to my little brother after I ran across a good price on a tricked-out M500. I'd still have it if not for that.
You can get both for $500 my dude
@@justinriley8651 can I borrow $500?
By the way. DAMN GOOD SHOT HITTING THE GONG WITH THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS. Looking at a living legend right now.
I love my Maverick 88, its great for home defense. Out of all my weapons its one of my favorites. I think I paid about $225 for it. Great video by the way! This guy is a sharp shooter for sure
😊I love your prescription of the weapon I am getting one soon.
The Maverick is the best bang for your buck you’ll ever have in a firearm. I would recommend setting aside an extra $100 to get a 500, but if you’re on a budget, this’ll do just fine for home defense, hunting, you name it.
I thought the only difference between the 500 and the Maverick is the safety and furniture.
@@srgranke maverick has a shorter barrel, a worse trigger group, it’s not ambidextrous, it doesn’t have a vent rib, and there’s less options for customization. It’s basically just a slightly worse version of the 500 that sells for much cheaper.
@@heroesinhoodies1210 Barrel, and thus vent rib, is a nonissue since 500 barrels can be used on the 88.
EDIT: Oh and you can buy 88s with a vent rib. Mossberg's branding is "all purpose"
@@randomlyentertaining8287 Absolutely right about the barrels. I swapped out the defense barrel with a mossberg 500 accu choke barrel so I could shoot trap and skeet with it and love it.
High value shotgun for the money, durable and reliable.
I bought one as my first new gun years ago, at Kmart of all places. Best $160 I ever spent.
Love budget guns...especially the ones that work
It's what I grew up with and still have. Great gun.
My first firearm was a Maverick 88. Bought it for 79$ at Service Merchandise. Sold it too a friend who won't sell it back. Just bought another one last week for 249$ This one has a pistol grip and over folding stock.
I remember Service Merchandise. We had one here in town and they had a special room for stereo equipment.
Service Merchandise. Haven’t heard that in a long time. Great store.
Had my Maverick for 10 years. It's a truck/ tractor gun. Looks like hell now. Never an issue. Beat looking on the outside but never fails
I bought one from Walmart for $188 two years ago. Great budget shotgun!
Got my 18 1/2" barrel 12 guage model, new, at my local Academy about a year ago for $160. It was priced at $199. But they gave me an in store discount. Hec of a deal for such a reliable, tough shotgun.
It's pretty much a Mossberg 500 with a crossbar safety and a one-piece forend. For only _$200._ It's right up there with Costco's $1.50 hot dog & soda as one of the most insanely great deals you'll ever find.
I love mine so much... it never disappoints I've probably shot over 1000 shotgun rounds threw it and still going strong...
Mossberg firearms were originally created in Connecticut by founder Oscar Mossberg and his sons Iver and Harold. But since 1989, a significant amount of the company's product has been manufactured in the Lone Star State.Apr 6, 2020 Mossberg is an American Icon. I need me one.
absolutly love seeing this gun. Was my grandpas' patrol shotgun when he was a county sheriff. Passed down to me. absolutly love it
I have had my 20” barrel M88 for 6 years now and absolutely love it. Hundreds of rounds of birdshot, #00, and slugs with zero problems.
Great shotgun! I have a m88 as well as a 590A1 and can tell you i gravitate toward the m88 more often than the more expensive 590.
Lighter and easier to handle. Same reason I bought a Winchester sxp. Aluminum frame and damn good
@@bobjohnson1633 wouldn’t the lighter weight make the gun kick more?
I have same......and do same!!😂
I’ve taken quite a few turkeys with my Mav 88. A little secret: A Mav 88 with basic #4 shot will take a Turkey every bit as well as a Super Nova with super expensive, boutique, “turkey loads” that cost 4x as much as basic shotshells.
Im not for all the TSS crazy stuff, but the extra powder charge in dedicated turkey loads is really needed for any shots past 20 yards bud.
@@whiteyfisk9769 my last two turkeys were taken, walking together at 35 yards. 2 3/4” # 4 shot. I’ve used shells from the same case of shells I bought 10 years ago. Hype is hype.
A big rock works just as well
At close range you'll be able to, but not nearly as easily as with a dedicated Turkey load. Hornady 3" magnum BB coyote loads with the versatite wad and 1½oz nickel-plated lead shot is a game changer for Turkey aimed center mass. They're expensive but will extend your range a lot. Check them out.
Just bought one with a 28 inch barrel for hunting. First shotgun I have owned.
Can't believe I bought mys today, and happen to find this vid as well.
Best $200-$250 ever spent ! Definite add on to any gun collection
Thanks hickok for this video, I just picked myself up one of these last Friday. Brought it to the range to shoot clay, and I'd say I got my moneys worth, very solid gun.
what barrel did you get for the clays?
Mossberg Maverick was my first shotgun since 14 years old and I am 67 now. I have been a buyer of Mossberg ever since. Mossberg buyer for life. I have a 500, 590, 930, the new 940 Pro Tact and it is so smooth and easy on your shoulders. Love it 😀 👍👍👍
Loved mine so much I bought another one in a different color. Always work and affordable!
I have a 12g and a 20g. Love them both. And...when I bought the 20g 28" I ordered the 18.5" barrel from mossberg and it fits perfectly.
I love my 20" 8 shot pistol grip 20ga. It's a ton of fun for sure.
I've also got the 18" 12ga. 6 shot.
First shot gun I’ve bought and it does me justice every time
I've owned my Maverick 88 Security model (20" barrel, 7+1 cap) for several years. It's loaded next to my bed and is my go-to for home defense. Rock solid reliable. I've added a snap on fiber optic sight to replace the brass bead, a hand strap on the foregrip, and I carry extra rounds on the stock. I trust it to protect my family here in Tacoma, WA.
The paper target shows that it has a nice, tight spread. It ought to be good for hunting or defence.
That has nothing to do with the shotgun
@@DW133_ ...How, exactly, does the spread of the birdshot pellets fired by the shotgun not have anything to do with the shotgun?
Love my 88! Swapped out the stock and forend with the Hogue overmold short LOP stock and upgraded the forend with the nut adapter to run a 500 forend. Added the OPSol adapter to load up 12 short shells of .00. Added the side saddle pic rail and a inexpensive red dot and also added the perforated barrel shield found on the 500’s. Makes for the perfect defensive shotgun at a low price point!
How do you like the OPSol adapter? I have one in my Maverick and she cycles those shorties, both Slug & #4 Buck like a champ. A good investment for Home Defense.
I was thinking of getting the Hogue overmold short LOP stock as well. How is it working for you?
The gun that got me into guns. Received one as a gift in around 2009. It was already heavily used but I've shot it many times over the years since then and it's always functioned perfectly.
I bought my Maverick-88 with a 24" RIFLED barrel called the Slugster, shortly after getting my Mossberg 500 Combo. I love the Maverick with the 18" barrel from the 500 but will also swap out the 28" Skeet/Trap Ventilated Rib barrel when shooting in the high plains of Colorado. Both of the Mossbergs shoot like a dream and the action are smooth and FAST. Mainly the Maverick is for Home Defense with the 18" barrel and 00-Buck or #4 loaded, The 500 is in the Gun Rack above the Safe with the 24" barrel and SLUGS as a backup. Life is Good with a pair of Mossberg 12ga shotguns.
A highly praised shotgun and for many good reasons. A perfect example of what the public wants….value. Gun companies and manufacturers should take notice but unfortunately most do not. The Maverick 88 has been in production for 35 years now and in that time we have had few firearms offer the same value.
This was the first firearm I ever bought. I love it and trust it. A very good first gun for anyone. Especially here in Canada
I got one right after getting my PAL, the thing never failed me or let me down.
Thanks for sharing the love on the 88. Love mine. Best inexpensive shotgun available. Not a lot of frills, just a solid basic shotgun that will happily eat what you feed it.
Yep. Barrels interchange. I had an extra Maverick bbl and gave it to a friend in MO. He took the 20" deer bbl off of his Mossy 500 and replaced it with the 26 oe 28 inch (whichever length is stock on the plain Jane Maverick) and he loved it and of course, we had an immediately had some backyard fun on the farm...which included his sons and daughter, and inlaws, a couple neighbors and a guy who happened to be driving by and heard the shootin and laughing and drove u to see what was going on. I am glad he showed up because he was a worse shooter than I am when shootin clays.😒
Pulled my bow for the first time this season last week too. Just about recovered from it this week 🤣😭
Good, accurate shotgun. Bought one as my first gun back in February, i would recommend!
Love this shotgun with the bottom of my heart. Cheap, reliable, sturdy, comfy, simple and accurate! Not a single malfunction approximately 400 shells later. Best 200$ I ever spent!
Every 500 part besides the fore grip worked just fine and made the 88 better.
I have one (88) and I love it. I've taken rabbits and pigeons (clay) with it. I've had it about 3 &1/2 years and I like it just as well as my Mossberg 500.
There's very little difference between the two, and for the price jump I don't see any reason to choose the 500. I've put over 5k rounds of buckshot and slugs through my 88 with zero issues.
@@MB-jg4tr I bought the 500 years ago before I'd even heard of the Maverick. I saw the Maverick for 200 bucks and thought 'what the heck '. I'm really glad I got it now. Great shotgun for the money.
I love my 880 😊 I've had it about 13 years and no problems 😎
I recently inherited my late father-in-laws Maverick 88 and I have to say, I enjoy shooting it. As a joke, my brothers and I went trap shooting and I decided to give it a go with "Don's" old 88. I am in no way a pro trap shooter, but I had a great time time showing up the brothers and their expensive over and unders with a 200 dollar shotgun. Thanks Donny, I will cherish this gun forever.
I bought one back in 1990 when I was 15 years old, and I still have it.
I have an MM 88 I bought in 1995 .It is one of the best defensive weapons I have ever owned. As you can see it is very accurate and comfortable to shoot. For up close and personal it is devastating !!
Been a fan of yours for years. You are one of the few that just keeps bringing good reviews and your delivery is definitely informative. You were definitely a teacher. God bless and may you be blessed to keep making some good content for us. My Mav 88 is a dream. I walked into a pawnshop and they tried to talk me into a Citadel 12ga semi-auto. I took it home for about $225 3 days later. Soon as my background passed....I went in and returned for the 88. Glad I did. Nothing but great reviews and it is reliable. I have the 28in model but she does good for home or hitting turkeys outside. Love it. For the price and what I need it for....can't see spending more money on another shotgun down the road to add.
I’ve got the 88 & love it. I also use it to hunt occasionally
Absolutely love my 88. Perfect little back door guard.
I have the 20" barrel 7+1 and have put over 1000 rounds thru it of every type of shells and Love It. I got it at Big 5 back in 2014 Awesome Shotgun!!!
Bought a maverick,30 inch barrel full choke way back 1993. It was 300 Canadian,I reside north of your border, it came with a mossberg cable lock,great shotgun. So 😢 about the school shooting, 🙏 for the families.
Just turned 18 Saturday and bought the all purpose variant yesterday, just waiting the 10 days to get it, loved the video sir, thank you for years of amazing content
That's awesome.its a good choice for a first shotgun
You'll love it. It's built to last. I've put over 5k rounds of buckshot and slugs through mine with zeros issues.
@@MB-jg4tr that's what I've heard from a lot of people so I'm very excited to get it out to the range
@@paulbartlett3128 I agree sir, especially for the quality
Bought mine a few years ago from Academy Sports & Outdoors for a whooping $158.00 on sale. I used a Sears/J.C. Higgins (Wichester model 12 clone?) for years! This Maverick 88 seems very similar. Dual slide bars and pretty good action. The only difference that I can "really" tell is the 3 piece bolt assembly. Have put probably 1,000 rounds or more through it (target practice, dove and turkey huunting) and haven't had the first bad issue with it!! Would definitely recommend it!!
I recently purchased one, I have no complaints.
We need more shotgun video's!!!
Thanks for all your videos @hickok45. Been watching for years!
Mine was a Christmas gift. It wears a set of magpul stocks. Great HD tool.
I LOVE My Maverick 88! First shotgun I've ever owned and It's amazing.
I love my Maverick 88 although mine is chambered in 20 gauge
Best $165 I ever spent as far as long guns go.
They're like $250 now and STILL can't be beat for the money. I paid $179 for mine in 2018
Just got one used today for 170
I really enjoy mine, I’ve jazzed it up a bit, not too terribly hard to remove the forearm ect. Thanks for the revisit.. great video as always ✝️🇺🇸🅰️👆🏻
This was my first firearm for 189$ at big5 lol on Black Friday. I was 19 and just had a baby and got a new house. Since then I’ve bought, traded, sold, and learned about nearly 100 guns the one consistent gun that has never left my small arsenal is the maverick 88. Easy one of the best shotgun I bought. You should get one, especially for the price.
I own a Mossberg Shockwave and Nightstick and if Maverick 88 would produce a version of these, I would purchase them also. I have the Cruiser in Mossberg and Maverick 88 and both are great guns also.
you know it's bad when you have to watch kickok shoot a gun you own
I once had the Mossberg Maverick 88 all purpose model, but traded for a Henry .22 Octagon Frontier. Nothing wrong with it, just liked the idea of having a 1st Henry to own. Thinking of getting a Remington 870 TAC PG stock next as a new 1st shotgun later this year.
Do it, avoid the Mav 88
Avoid Remshit, get a Mossberg 500, Mav 88, or Benelli Nova
@@johngallagher3732 avoid 88 says no one who’s ever had one but plenty of people have had to get rid of their 870s in the last five years or so. 88 for the win.
@@saihemebillings2820 haha yeah ok….
@@whiteyfisk9769 Benelli Nova yea but the mossbergs will let you down, no way I got 3 lemons in a row. They’re fawking garbage. My 870 express has never had a jam ever.
I picked one of these up about 14 years ago. I replaced the fixed stock with an adjustable with a pistol grip. It’s a great home defense shotgun and I’ve even carried it in my truck when traveling.
That racking sound a pump makes has got to be the most intimidating sound there is!
