Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Some shotguns try to reinvent the wheel. The Mossberg 500 doesn't need to. With over 12 million sold since 1961, this platform has earned its keep in duck blinds, dove fields, and behind bedroom doors for generations. The All Purpose Field version is the classic hunting configuration: a 28-inch vent rib barrel, 3-inch chamber, and a black synthetic stock and forend that shrug off rain, mud, and the kind of abuse a real field gun sees.
Under the hood you get the features that made the 500 famous. Twin action bars keep the pump stroke smooth and bind-free, dual extractors and positive steel-to-steel lockup handle ejection duties reliably, and the anti-jam elevator keeps shells feeding like they should. The tang-mounted safety sits right under your thumb and works the same whether you shoot righty or lefty, which also makes this a smart pick for households with shooters on both sides. It holds 5+1 with 2.75-inch shells and runs 3-inch magnums when waterfowl season calls for heavier loads.
The included Accu-Set gives you Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder choke tubes, so you can tighten up for late-season geese or open things up for quail and clays without buying anything extra. Dual bead sights on the vent rib make it quick to confirm your alignment on crossing birds, and at around 7.5 pounds the gun carries comfortably on long walks while still soaking up 12 gauge recoil better than the featherweights do.
The 500 has a reputation as a first shotgun for good reason. It takes down easily for cleaning, parts and accessory barrels are everywhere, and the design is simple enough that there's very little to go wrong. Whether this is your starter gun or the beater you grab when the weather turns ugly, the All Purpose Field is the kind of shotgun that just keeps showing up for work.
It ships with Mossberg's Accu-Set, which includes Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder tubes. That trio covers most hunting and clay situations, from tight waterfowl patterns to open upland shots. The barrel is threaded for the Accu-Choke system, so additional tubes like extra full turkey chokes are easy to find if you want to expand.
Yes, this model has a 3-inch chamber, so it handles both 2.75-inch and 3-inch 12 gauge shells. Capacity is 5+1 with 2.75-inch loads and drops slightly with 3-inch magnums. That flexibility lets you run light target loads at the range and heavy waterfowl or turkey loads in the field with the same gun.
It is, and it's one of the best-loved features of the 500 platform. The safety sits on top of the receiver at the tang, right where your thumb naturally rests, so it works identically for right- and left-handed users. It's also easy to check visually, which many folks prefer over crossbolt safeties.
It's one of the most common recommendations for a first shotgun, and for good reason. The design is simple to operate, easy to take down and clean, and durable enough to last decades of regular use. On top of that, the 500 platform has a massive aftermarket, so barrels, stocks, and accessories are widely available if you want to change things up later.
