It helps to push forward with your firing hand while pulling backward with your reaction hand (the hand that pumps/reloads) while holding it slightly tucked into your shoulder.
for those saying that the .338 and the 45/70 kick more. yes and no. depends on the loads. .338 win mag i assume? a typical shotgun can generate easily as much those guns. think about it. over 1 oz of lead or 437 grains. moving at what 1200 to 1500 fps? not very fast, but thats a massive load. figure also a 12 gauge uses 3 or more drams? thats over 81 grains of powder.
@ignigknogt A .338 Lapua Magnum kicks way more than a 12 gauge. No doubt about it. A 12 gauge (pending on load/shot) gives off about 3,700 joules of energy, where as the .338 gives off an average of 6,600 joules, a huge difference.
@goodlookin41 First of all, a FIRM grip on the forearm is required. Second, don't shoot the Heeman load (3" 00 buck is a no no) your first time. Third and last, start from the lower hip shot and work your way up to sighting down the weapon to avoid black eyes and broken jaws.
dude was way too stiff and not sure-footed. rookie mistake though.
fun thing about shotguns is for all their kick, you can single-hand shoot them. not recommending it, and you'll need some forearm strength, but still fun to try and look bad-ass when everyone is watching. :P
@salemhodson wow that is sad i can shoot probibly 25 rounds of 3.5 turkey load magnums its all in how you sholder the shot gun and how you lean into it its not that bad
You guys really should have shown him how to shoot that thing. He should have been leaning into it a little bit more and his stance was all wrong. And if that makes his shoulder sore he's not that tough lol. If you guys think that kicks try shooting a 45/70 or a .338 mag.
This version of the gun is the "security" version. Comes as-is with a 18" cylinder bore barrel. I bought it originally as a bear defense gun for camping so shorter and lighter was a priority.
@nwrepka At least around Minnesota that's just a joke. If you asked any cop, swat, hunter, little child, duck, or deer they would say that's just a marketing ploy from Mossberg. Think about it security guns are made for close quarters and fast draw. Good luck sneaking around with that thing dude
@whiteflamemusic My point, simply, is that the gun is a Maverick "Security" model. Nothing more, nothing less. If you want to have a 40 minute circle-jerk... I mean discussion about philosophy of use... I can suggest some youtube channels you might enjoy better.
Strange, considering that the 870 is available in a 3-1/2" super magnum chambering whereas the 88/500 is only available in 3" magnum. Not to knock your friend's dad but you might want to do your own research if you're interested in shotguns.
i have this shotgun, I have the 20" security version. It is a very good shotgun for the cash, plus the barrels and stocks are interchangeable with the Mossberg 500 line. You can trick these guns out pretty good.
Excellent Shotgun, well made, realiable, accurate and very easy up keep. Many after market addons available! I have 2 and never had a problem with either. Fun, easy. Mine have 18 1/2" barrels. They can hold and cycle 5+1 3" Magnum shells, short barrels make them louder and a little more kick. All in all, you want a cheap 12g. at a good price, the Mossberg Maverick 88 is a perfect shotgun. Just as good as a Remington at a fraction of the price!!! A++++++++++++++++ SHOTGUN
Damn a gun shop has this on sale for $199+ tax. probly aobut $225 out the door but still thats a good deal.. I have an old Remington model 29 with full barrell that was my grandfater's rifile. I would like to retire it and get one of these but I don't have the extra cash at the moment.
I just got one and can't wait to fire it. Noob or not, it looks fun as hell... and aren't we all new at some point? Good looking out on the warning. My first 20g shot was on the hip/pelvic bone and OWE.........
decent gun, but dont spend over $200 on it. shop around they go from $150 to $200 where I am. I see Rem 870 and Moss 500 590's in the $300 range in Florida.
i was thinking of buying this shottie! the sports store here has it for just under 300.00 comes with a pistol grip and the normal stock. its bettween this and a mossberg persuader 12ga. how does the 88 stand up to use i plan on shooting lots with slugs and 00- buckshot
Mine has had zero problems after a couple hundred rounds, but I have heard wild stories on the interwebs about having no serious issues after 5000 or more. It's probably as reliable as any other mossberg shotgun depending on usage and handling, maintenance, and environmental factors. Your mileage may vary.
First; it's not me, so I can't speak to motivation.
Secondly; if you read the description, you'll see that he's a neophyte.
Lastly; I just watched it again and he does look like a total idiot kicking his foot out like that but at least he's not throwing my gun on the deck like all those guys in the .577 tyranosaur video.
Generally speaking cylinder bore barrels work best with rifled slugs and rifled barrels work best with saboted slugs. It's said that slugs are also safe to shoot with certain smooth bore chokes other than cylinder bore. Personally though the idea of shooting a slug through a choke gives me the fear.
The Maverick 88 and the Mossberg 500 are basically the same gun. There are minor differences. I don't believe all the internals are interchangeable but I know that most stocks, barrels and accessories are.
getting a moss500 in a few days. i was thinking pistol grip but full stock is the way to go. I wish i lived around more open land tho so I could shoot it often
Lol theres like over 100 shells on the ground xD thats what it should be like
I remember last year my friend and I we had 2 20 gauges, 2 22 gauges, and a 357 special and i swear we had about 1000 shell casings after 3 days of straight shooting
this should be added to the "BEST OF WOMEN SHOOTING GUNS" vid floating around!!!

They're practically the same gun. Your choice is going to come down to cost and how badly you want the option of a wood stock.
