Because my gun has one of these aftermarket pistol stocks, I leave a round chambered and use the cross-bolt safety (we do not have small children in the house, ever, and the gun is kept locked up when we are not home). However, with a pistol grip stock, it is exceedingly difficult to operate when the gun is shouldered for firing. The action release lever (to allow the action to cycle without having fired the gun) is located on the left side of the trigger, in a very convenient place with the normal polymer stock. The sighting system is the simple and traditional bead and groove system.

The Security 88 (the one I own) features an 18.5 inch barrel, plus a long 7 round magazine tube. NOTE: The model shown here is NOT stock, it is my own personal home security gun and it features a collapsible after-market stock. Snap cap training rounds keep tactical in-residence training safe!

Home Invader" to somebody who really should not be in your house with you (and yes, I know, there's a valid argument to leave a round chambered… in fact, as I will explain later, I leave a round chambered.) There are many other reasons to own 12-gauge shotties, but there's just nothing quite like the "shick-shick" sound of a pump shotty to announce "you have made a bad choice, Mr. Every prepper needs at least one 12-gauge pump shotgun for home defense.
PHILOSOPHY OF USE (From a prepper's point of view): As an experienced firearms owner and long time prepper, I'm just going to come out and say it. The Mossberg Maverick 88 is available in several configurations, and I will review another model (the slug configured gun with rifle sights) at a later time. The model I am reviewing, the 18.5 inch barrel security 12 gauge pump (commonly known as a "riot gun") holds 8 rounds (7+1) and works exactly like you would expect it to. The Mossberg Maverick 88 is a low dollar prepper's "perfect choice" gun, a reliable, rugged, inexpensive and powerful gun that's perfect for home protection/defense.
