The Best Shotguns for Sale at GrabAGun

The best shotgun for your needs will be dependent on a variety of things. No two shotguns are the same, despite the fact that they do provide similar services. Before you choose a shotgun deal, it’s important to figure out what your needs are. Are you looking for something to shoot recreationally, competitively, or for trap/skeet purposes? Most people choose between a pump-action shotgun and a semi-auto shotgun, both of which are great in their respective fields. We’re going to break down each of these first, then provide an overview of the best shotguns for sale at GrabAGun. Let’s take a look.

Pump-Action Shotguns

Scatterguns, also known as pump-action shotguns, are most well-known thanks to the media. Already, you’re probably thinking of a scene of someone racking the pump of a shotgun. (My favorite is a scene from Criminal Minds–when a character racks their shotgun with one hand. I digress) It’s the default badass scene used many times over. That aside, as the name suggests, the way you chamber the next round is by working the forend slide back and forth. Doing so ejects spent shells and chambers a new shell from the magazine tube. 

The pump-action shotgun is to the firearms community what the pickup truck is to the motor industry. This is a versatile firearm that can be used for a variety of purposes. Not only that, it will last a lifetime and is incredibly affordable for its intended purpose. Where will you typically find a pump-action shotgun in action? 

  • Home defense
  • Small game hunting
  • Waterfowl
  • Even deer hunting

When deciding on a shotgun, you’ll need to look at capacity, barrel length, etc. For hunting, you’re going to want something in the 26-28 inch barrel range. This will allow you greater accuracy and distance with each shot. For home defense, many companies make “tactical shotguns” with shorter barrel lengths. Of course, always check your state laws regarding barrel length. 

Semi-Automatic Shotguns

Much like the pump-action, semi-automatic shotguns are also extremely popular. Naturally, one of the biggest differences is that a semi-auto will fire as fast as one can pull the trigger. These guns cycle by using spent gas from the previous shot to eject and cycle the next round. And we can’t forget to mention the fact that, like many other successful firsts, this design was perfected by John Browning in 1898. In fact, that design was so successful that the brand still makes a version of it today, albeit with more modern barrel designs and choke tubes. 

Autoloaders are generally used for

  • Bird hunting
  • Deer hunting
  • Competition shooting
  • Even trap/skeet shooting

The ammo capacity mirrors that of pump-actions, but of course, there are exceptions, such as the Mossberg 940 JM Pro. This was designed specifically for competitive shooting and actually has a 9+1 capacity. Rarely is this platform used for self-defense, but as mentioned, there are exceptions. 

Perhaps it’s a psychological thing–I mean, think about it. Intruders are more likely to be scared away by the sound of someone racking the slide. I don’t know, I could be wrong about that. What I do know is that semi-automatic shotguns have earned a fitting and lasting reputation as sporting and hunting guns.
