Pump shotguns are one of the most common guns in the country.

Pump shotguns come in three main types: hunting, target, and home‑defense. Each chosen for reliability and fit: hunters favor rugged pumps with 26–28" barrels, interchangeable chokes and 12‑ or 20‑gauge flexibility for different game; target shooters can use longer barrels or purpose‑built target barrels on a pump for improved swing and patterning at clays; and home‑defense buyers often prefer shorter (18–20") barrels and ergonomics that allow quick, controllable handling with well‑tested defensive loads. Choose gauge and loads to match recoil tolerance and purpose (12‑gauge for versatility, 20‑gauge for milder recoil), verify pattern performance with the ammo you’ll use, and prioritize a gun that fits your shoulder/cheek weld and mounts reliably.

Pump‑action shotguns remain a go‑to choice for hunting because of their proven reliability, versatility with different loads and chokes, and ease of field maintenance, traits repeatedly confirmed in hands‑on reviews and gear tests. For upland birds and many waterfowl situations, hunters commonly pick 12‑gauge pumps for their versatility (with 20‑gauge an excellent lighter‑recoil alternative for smaller game or long days on the walk), and favor 26–28" barrels and interchangeable choke tubes to tune patterns to the quarry and range.
