The Maverick model 88 Pump-Action Shotgun from Mossberg, provides anyone with a great firearm for personal defense. The  Mod 88 Security has a synthetic forend, full-length buttstock, and a thick recoil pad. A fixed cylinder bore choke delivers optimum shot patterns for close range; and an extended tubular magazine holding 7 rounds, with a barrel length of 20".  The ambidextrous, top-mounted safety is evident and convenient to reach without moving the shooter's trigger finger. This is a great firearm for any entry-level person wanting to get into shotguns!
