    Mossberg Maverick 88 Review

    The Mossberg Maverick 88 is a value-priced pump action shotgun. Most models are in 12 gauge, but there’s also a youth model in 20 gauge. The Maverick 88 shares much of the operating mechanism of the Mossberg 500 series, but at a lower cost, with a fixed pump. The 12 gauge version will work with…

  • Lazer Arms XR410 410 Revolver Shotgun Review

    The Lazer Arms XR410 is a 5-shot revolver 410 shotgun made in Turkey. Retailing at around $750-799 in Canada, they’re up there for cost, but do you get enough utility and uniqueness out of this interesting shotgun?

While the old shotgun ran on a long recoil system, the new A5 runs on a Benelli-esque inertial system that Browning calls their “Kinematic Drive”. Browning LOVES giving every feature a name. But the other thing that Browning typically does is add features and innovation. Let’s…
