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 rear of the triggerguard and the action bar release sits on the left side near the front of the triggerguard. It only has a bead sight, but we all found it pointed easily. The main reason we all liked this shotgun was the furniture. The stock looks similar to Magpul’s shotgun stock, plus it has an adjustable cheek rest. The fore end is slim and has sling attachment points at both ends. I probably would never attach a sling to the “pump” on a shotgun, but my pinky rested on the raised edge at the back and made racking the shotgun easy. It comes with three chokes (Full, Modified and Improved Cylinder) and a choke wrench. The length of pull can be shortened by removing a spacer, which we did. Two of us are vertically challenged so we outvoted the tall guy. We would have preferred some kind of rear sight to make it easier to shoot slugs at a distance, but at the price point, we can afford to have the receiver tapped and a Picatinny rail added for a red-dot if we really thought that was an issue.
