Great as a truck or home defense shotgun for the price. Cycles reliably with a solid clank. Awesome furniture. I gave 4 stars because of the front site. The tiny piece of red plastic looks great now but we’ll see how long it lasts in subzero temps.

Great shotgun. Stock pad isn't great but it can easily be changed. However....I'm wishing that I had purchased the shotgun from another site/dealer. Customer service at PSA has been terrible. I've been trying for over a month to get my proof of purchase so that I can claim the rebate and at least have purchase history. I don't know what I would do if I had a serious issue. Thankfully that isn't the case. Great prices and good quality but terrible customer care if you need help with even something small.

I honestly did not have any expectations when I opted to buy this budget grade pump shotgun. It was more of a curiosity purchase - I mean what do you get for $150 bucks these days so I gambled and was completely surprised. Maybe not at the top of the list but its up there with the best $150 bucks I have ever spent. No joke this is a decent piece at least for now - longevity is unknown but this is a now a solid truck gun so I won't wear it out. It worked flawlessly with 8 types of ammo

This is a good shot gun and with the 20 round magazine that i purchased separately it is a blast. The 9 round free magazine is a joke i have jumped thru hoops and never got it.

Fantastic shotgun. From the box- took it to the range. 00 buck with the installed choke (full). Ran flawlessly, the action is smooth. Yes, it kicks. It's a fairly lightweight 12ga shotgun, so if that comes as a surprise to you it shouldn't. I'll be getting another one soon.

No jams, shoots well, feels cheap which it is haha 150$ shipped, plus 50$ rebate but can only use it at one website.

Excellent gun. Add the great Palmentto price with two rebates from Armscor made this one of the best deals I have ever received on a firearm. The gun has fired any ammo I have run thru it. I'm very happy and satisfied with this purchase.

The best budget shotgun in my opinion, it can be be anything from range day gun, sporting clays or home defense. You can't go wrong for the price.

Love the gun! My first magazine fed 12g and it did not disappoint. Great price and fast service from PSA. The “free” 9 round magazine from Rock Island never arrived and they don’t answer emails either.

Replaced my aging 500a property manager. Fit and finish is Remington quality, but even more solid. Break-in with true pair sporting clays resulted in zero failures and mag fed COG made for snappy and well balanced acquisition.

I like the look of the shotgun, feels good but from day one I had problems. Fired two rounds, broken firing pin, no big deal it happens. My main issue is, it won't chamber low brass practice/target ammo. First and second rounds jams the bolt, 3-4 and 5th chamber and recycle fine. I tried several magazines same problem. Hi Brass no issues at all. If the low brass issue can be resolved I'll keep it, if not I'll sell it.

Great price! Neat idea to put a mag on a pump shotgun. PSA needs to offer the hi-cap mags that are currently offered by the manufacturer. It's a light shotgun. Has a kick to it with slugs and full-house 00 Buck. I shot it with reduced 00 Buck with better results. Runs smooth after a short break-in. Mags load without any hang-ups.

Nice gun for the money especially with the $50 gift card and extra 9rd mag rebate they’re running. Definitely worth the price.

Fast and reliable…when I went to pick up my weapons I was told that palmetto was one of the better websites to purchase from

Received a defective unit. After several calls to support I was told it needed to go through warranty department... ordered and recieved the defective gun in 3 days, but to get it fixed I was told 4-6 weeks. On week 5 now and support is horrible. This will be my last gun from Rock Island.

I give it 4 out of 5 because of the super cheap sights that come on this shot gun. That said, it is the smoothest pump action I've ever held. The magazine is a wonderful upgrade from old school. That said the magazine takes some getting used to to load. Awesome weapon I have complete faith in. The only decision for self defense is slugs or buckshot. It comes with 3 chokes. Improved cylinder great for slugs, past 20 yards sucks for buckshot. Modified is great for buckshot but dangerous

Awesome weapon, 500 rounds and not disappointed yet. Telling all my friends. 4 stars because of cheap sights easily replaced.

Handy shotgun. Shot well with both birdshot and buckshot. I liked the first one enough to buy a second one. The sling swivels are too small. I will have to do something about that. My son and daughter in law also had a great time shooting it. For the price it is more than worth it. In addition the rebate allowed me to get two more magazines for each shotgun for a very minimal price from Advanced Tactical.

First I want to say for a right handed person this is a great gun for the cost, as long as you only use it for home defense/range gun. First and my biggest issue. This gun hates left handed people. The way they have the action release placed there is no way for a left handed person to release the action from the firing position. For me that's a huge turn off. Ya know being a lefty. And next would be it's just a cheap gun. Everything about the gun just feals cheap.

I couldn't give it a five-star review for one significant reason. This gun is chambered for 3" shells, but the magazines will only hold 2 3/4" shells. I find this very disappointing. Why chamber a gun for 3" shells and not supply magazines that will hold 3' shells? Does anyone have an answer?
