Buying 12 Gauge Shotguns online

The 12 gauge is the most popular and versatile shotgun gauge, with the widest choice of loads from light target shells to buckshot, slugs and 3½-inch waterfowl magnums. Pumps are rugged and affordable, semi-autos soften recoil, and break-actions are classic for clays and upland birds.

Match your chamber length (2¾, 3 or 3½ inch) to your 12 gauge shells.

12 Gauge Shotguns FAQ

Is a 12 gauge good for home defense?

Yes. A pump or semi-auto 12 gauge with buckshot is a long-standing home-defense choice. Pattern your gun with the load you choose.

What do 2¾, 3 and 3½ inch mean?

That is the chamber length. You can fire shells up to your chamber length, never longer. A 3-inch gun fires 2¾ and 3 inch shells.

How do I buy a shotgun online?

Pick a shotgun, choose a licensed FFL dealer near you at checkout, and we ship it there. You complete ATF Form 4473 and a background check at the dealer. Federal law sets the minimum age at 18; some states set it higher.
