Pump Shotguns

      Stoeger P3000 Freedom Series Supreme

      We tested the Stoeger P3000 Freedom Series pump shotgun with the side-folding, telescoping stock. While the shotgun performed very well, I think most of...

      Winchester SXP OD Defender

      Like the Stoeger P3000, the Winchester SXP Defender turned out to be a reasonably priced, great-functioning shotgun. It ran great, was a joy to...

      Benelli M2

      Benelli’s long reputation for top-of-the-line shotguns isn’t going away anytime soon. The M2 is a lightweight, inertia driven, semi-auto that was an absolute joy...

      Smith & Wesson M&P12

      The M&P12 is another gun that I have tested recently so it again had a small advantage. This dual-magazine pump bullpup is built like...

      Winchester SXP Shadow Defender

      Armscor/Rock Island Armory AG Pump Defense

      The AG Pump Defense is a real crowd pleaser. Economically priced, it felt solid and performed well. The triangular safety button sits at the...
