Can you smell that in the air? The crisp leaves of fall from turning a new season… people running around with their pumpkin spice drinks clutching them like it contains water from the Fountain of Youth… and soon we will be experiencing self-induced sugar comas by eating all of our kids’ candy from Halloween when they are not looking. With the ushering in of a new month means a new category for our Reader’s Choice voting decided on by none other than you! For the month of October, we are asking for your suggestions and votes on the BEST Pump Action Shotgun! October is a perfect time to discuss slide-action, or as they are more commonly called, pump-action shotguns. There are lots of hunting seasons like waterfowl, upland game, and whitetail deer they could be used for. So it is time to discuss what is the BEST “Click-Clack” shotgun on the market! Let’s dive right on in and begin!
Reader’s Choice: BEST Pump Action Shotgun – VOTE NOW
This is the 13th installment for our Reader’s Choice Awards. Based on feedback from our Subject-Matter-Experts, which are all of our beloved readers, we play around with the selection criteria and nominations. Many of you comment every month that you felt certain products were missing and should have been included on past lists. So in general:
- Each month we are going to host a poll that you can vote on
- Each month will be a different category (Optics, Revolver, Bolt Action Rifle, Concealed Carry Pistol, etc)
- The list of entries will be curated from the top sales in the preceding six months. This is solely to introduce some objectivity into it; there must be some popularity if it tops the sales list (or is horrifically expensive)
- You can vote for your choice every day while the poll is running and you can earn an extra entry for telling us WHY you chose it (we will pick some of the most creative and highlight them during the results post)
- At the end of the month, we will post the winning choice (along with the other results) and the company will get some bragging rights (if they want them).
You, the readers, get to suggest items that should be part of this poll. We will troll our own comments section and look for suggestions that have four (4) or more “upvotes,” and those will be added to the poll. Since you will be allowed to vote daily, there is always a chance that your suggestion could make it to the top! Even if you are late to the game in making a suggestion, we have already seen late entries gain momentum and make it very high in the voting!
Normally, we attempt to establish a baseline for your suggestions and voting every month so we are all kind of on the same page. With this new category of the BEST Pump Action Shotgun, we are looking for any and all shotguns. They can be for home defense… hunting… 3-gun competitions… recreation… custom space blasters… you name it! If there is a pump-action shotgun floating around in the industry that you absolutely love, let us know what it is! Maybe enough people will vote for it that it will win our Reader’s Choice Award, or it will at least inform a lot of readers about a product they might not have heard of before.
Like always, suggestions can run the gauntlet from the el’ cheapos to the ultra expensive. The only problem is you need a rational argument for why you made your selection. So cheap or expensive, household name brand or specialty company… we will take any and all suggestions for BEST Pump Action Shotgun. Other than that, we as always, are open to your suggestions through the Comments section. If you wholly believe something we did not mention is deserving of being on the list and winning… Let us know!
Once again, please Vote daily… provide us in the Comments with your own suggestions for the MANUFACTURER, MODEL NAME, and any other valuable information related to your suggestion so we all know what you are rooting for as the BEST Pump Action Shotgun… and entertain these BEST Pump Action Shotgun suggestions to start (in no specific order)…
TFB BEST pump-action shotgun
The working man’s shotgun, the Maverick line of pump action shotguns are proven performers – equally at home in the woods, upland fields, or on the home security duty. Dual extractors, twin action bars, positive steel to steel lockup, and an anti-jam elevator provide trouble free operation. Maverick 88 pump-action models are fully-interchangeable with Mossberg 500 barrels (within gauge and capacity). The diverse selection of available accessory barrels allow shooters to adapt their Maverick 88 for multiple hunting or security purposes.
In 2011, we introduced the KSG and completely changed the world of tactical, pump-action shotguns. Pick your favorite variant or collect them all… we won’t blame you. All of our shotguns are chambered for 3″ shells and fire a wide variety of projectiles. The dual tubes feature a selector switch that we affectionately call, the world’s fastest reload. We should also mention that they’re all downward-ejecting and completely ambidextrous. The one that started it all. The KSG was our first entry into the 12ga shotgun market, so naturally we had to completely redefine it by setting a new standard in both magazine capacity and overall length. Here’s the short and not-so-long of it: Legal in all 50 states, the KSG holds 6+6+1 (or 7+7+1 depending on shell length) in a 26.1” package. That’s not a typo- it holds a lot of ammo at just over two feet long. It comes standard with an 18.5″ barrel and Picatinny-style rails for mounting your favorite accessories on both the top and bottom.

Available in 12-gauge. Ghost-ring sights for quick target acquisition. Quickly changes between semi-auto and pump action.

Both the fore-end and stock are crafted from a durable, weatherproof synthetic material to compliment the non-reflective matte metal finish. The 1-inch shorter stock also includes a solid rubber recoil pad. And like every other Model 870 shotgun, you get twin action bars for smooth cycling and a receiver machined from a solid block of hardened steel for unmatched durability.
