NORTH HAVEN, CT – Rugged, durable, and field-ready, the 500 platform has set the industry standard for pump-action shotguns for nearly 60 years. For 2025, Mossberg has added three Slugster models (12 gauge, 20 gauge and 410 bore) to the company’s extensive line of field and sporting 500 pump-action shotguns.
Key features of the 500 pump-action platform include non-binding twin action bars; dual extractors; a positive steel-to-steel lock-up; anti-jam elevator; anodized aluminum receiver; and ambidextrous top-mounted safety with red “safety off” indicator.
All three 500 Slugster models have adjustable rifle sights; 3-inch chambers with 5+1 total capacity; drilled and tapped receiver; classic black synthetic stock and forend; matte blue metal finish; and sling swivel studs. The 12 and 20-gauge versions have 24-inch fully rifled barrels with a 1:36 twist rate and the 410 features a 20-inch cylinder bore barrel.
With more than 12 million of this true American classic produced, join the legions of outdoorsmen and women who own a Mossberg 500.
