Mossberg Maverick 88 Review
The Mossberg Maverick 88 is a value-priced pump action shotgun. Most models are in 12 gauge, but there’s also a youth model in 20 gauge. The Maverick 88 shares much of the operating mechanism of the Mossberg 500 series, but at a lower cost, with a fixed pump. The 12 gauge version will work with…

Lazer Arms XR410 410 Revolver Shotgun Review
The Lazer Arms XR410 is a 5-shot revolver 410 shotgun made in Turkey. Retailing at around $750-799 in Canada, they’re up there for cost, but do you get enough utility and uniqueness out of this interesting shotgun?

Kel-Tec KSG Review
The Kel-Tec KSG is an American made, bullpup, pump action, dual tube-magazine shotgun. In terms of looks, it’s pretty “Stormship Troopers”.

Browning A5 for 3 Gun
My Stoeger M3500 is so easy to load, but reliability has been a bit hit or miss. The long, 3.5″ inertial action cycles with 3.5″ goose loads just fine, but struggled with lighter weight target loads, so I was looking at a new shotgun. I ended up buying a Browning A5 Stalker and wanted to…

Browning A5 Review
The Browning Auto-5 was the original semi automatic shotgun. While the old shotgun ran on a long recoil system, the new A5 runs on a Benelli-esque inertial system that Browning calls their “Kinematic Drive”. Browning LOVES giving every feature a name. But the other thing that Browning typically does is add features and innovation. Let’s…

Unlike the older Remington 1100, the Versa Max uses an ingenious port based system to adjust gas pressure appropriately based on shell length without having to…
