Maverick Arms Model 88 12 Gauge Security/Field Combo

Description

The Maverick 88 Security/Field Combo is built for the shooter who wants one shotgun that can pull double duty without buying two. The included 18.5-inch barrel keeps the gun maneuverable in tight spaces and around the home, while the 28-inch vent-rib barrel gives you the swing and the sight plane you need for birds or clay targets. Swapping between them requires no tools and no gunsmithing — the Maverick 88’s barrel change is a straightforward field operation, so you can reconfigure before a hunt and switch back afterward.

Mechanically, the Maverick 88 runs twin action bars, which eliminate the single-bar torque and binding that can plague cheaper pumps under hard use or when the shooter’s grip isn’t textbook. Dual extractors pull spent hulls cleanly even when chambers are dirty or shells are slightly swollen from heat, and the anti-jam elevator keeps feeding consistent as the magazine empties. The chrome-lined chamber and bore resist corrosion and simplify cleaning — meaningful if this gun is going to live in a truck or a gun safe near a coast. A tang-mounted ambidextrous safety sits naturally under the thumb for either hand without the shooter having to shift grip.

The matte blued finish on both barrels is practical rather than decorative — it cuts glare in the field and is straightforward to touch up if it takes minor handling wear. The black synthetic stock shrugs off weather that would raise the grain on a wood stock. A single bead up front is all the sighting system the Maverick 88 carries, which is appropriate for a shotgun used at typical field and defensive distances where a bead and a consistent mount do the same work as anything more elaborate. At 5+1 capacity, it holds enough for most field applications while staying within the tube magazine format that keeps the profile slim.
