Since 1919, Mossberg has been the leader in introducing important design breakthroughs to the firearm industry. Many product features pioneered by Mossberg are now the standards by which all modern shotguns and firearms are judged. Mossberg's design and innovative edge is truly changing the way shooters use shotguns and rifles. Mossberg pump shotguns are the only shotguns purchased by the United States government that meet or exceed Mil-S-3443 specifications. It is this basis of unquestionable quality that drives Mossberg to bring reliable, well-built shooting systems to you at an affordable price.
This was my first gun and it is great. I like it because its kind of small and that makes it easy for me to handle. Really fun to shoot at the range. Got it for turkey and home defence. 500 bantam is great for younger people just learning how to shoot and is a great first gun like my self. I wouldnt trade my mossberg for anything. And will have it for life. Fired close to 100 Rds threw it and had no problems. my next shotgun will be a mossberg and thats for sure. I have nothing bad to say about this gun. When I get used to this one Im going to get a 12 gauge 500 and cant wait. You cant go wrong with mossberg. I hope this review helped you and if it did you will know the choice to make like I did. - J. F.
This is an outstanding weapon!!! I have used it in Iraq,
Afganistan, El Salvador, Columbia, Peru and the Amazon. Only wish there was a fully rifled 24 inch
barrel for it. - J. S.
Looks like a nice gun. I have had the pumps and they have been good guns. I would like to buy one of these in a 26 or 28 inch barrel if it is made. Mossberg has always been a very smooth and fast gun. Always dependable. - E. R.
This was my first Mossberg, and I am very happy with this weapon. It was reasonbly priced, a very good value. It shoots very well. Although the recoil is in-line with all 12 gauges, the recoil pad and the ported barrel make this powerful weapon, quite tame. I am a satisfied owner who will be looking to the Mossberg brand for any of my future shotgun desires. Looking for a quality, well built, beautifully crafted shotgun, you will be hard pressed to find a better bang for the buck!!! Thank you O.F. Mossberg Co. for a wonderful package. This weapon is also very easy to accessorize as well. I also purchased an extra barrel in 18.5" as well as a folding stock pistol grip for when I use it as a security weapon. Great gun!!! Even better VALUE!!!! - T. L.
