Product Overview

The Mossberg Maverick 88 Security 12ga pump shotgun with top-folding stock delivers serious home-defense capability in a package that won't break the bank. Built on the proven Mossberg platform, this 18.5-inch barrel shotgun handles 2.75-inch shells and loads six rounds total, giving you reliable firepower when it counts. The top-folding synthetic stock makes it genuinely compact—18 inches of length of pull—without sacrificing control or comfort, and the folding design is purpose-built for tight spaces, vehicle storage, or quick deployment in a crisis.

This is a workhorse home-defense shotgun, not a status piece. The dual extractors and twin action slide bars are time-tested mechanisms that cycle reliably under pressure, while the cross-bolt safety keeps the gun secure until you need it. The black receiver pairs with the blue finish for a no-nonsense look, and the simple bead sight gets you on target fast. Cylinder-bore choke and a weighty 6-pound feel give you manageable recoil and natural pointing—important when adrenaline is high and precision matters.

Mossberg's Maverick line strips away frills and keeps the price honest, making this an excellent choice for shooters who want a dependable 12ga pump without premium markup. Whether you're setting up home defense, running tactical drills, or just want a truck gun you can trust, the Maverick 88 Security delivers.
