Shotguns can be used as a home defense firearm or for hunting or for target shooting sports like skeet, trap and sporting clays. This versatility is why a shotgun is one of the first weapons we recommend for anyone looking to buy a gun. If you only had one weapon to choose from it would be hard to argue against picking a shotgun.

Our collection of best-in-class, affordable firearms feature the likes of Keltec KSG 12 Gauge and Mossberg 88 Security 12 Gauge. Each of these have a fixed choke, 18.5” cylinder-bore barrel, 12 gauge pump-action shotgun weighing around 7 lbs. But they differ in the external body, shot capacity and other features. Whichever shotgun you choose, you can be assured it’s been thoroughly vetting by our selection process.
