SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The most versatile firearm has always been the shotgun, as it can easily jump from sport to self-defense by simply swapping loads. Shooters, to put it mildly, like shotguns. According to the GunBroker.com Top-Selling Shotguns list, the Mossberg 590 was the most purchased shotgun on the marketplace in 2023.

The Remington 870 and the Mossberg 500 came in second and third for the year. This is the second year in a row that the 590, 870 and 500 rounded out the top three.

The Mossberg 590 has long been the preferred shotgun by law enforcement. In fact, it once was the standard shotgun for the U.S. military, which went to a semi-auto over the pump-action 590. It is even available in a detachable magazine version, making it one of the best tactical shotguns obtainable.

When RemArms streamlined the brand, along with the product lines, one of the models the company kept in production was the 870. This dual-action-bar shotgun has long been popular with shooters. In fact, the 870 is one of the most purchased firearms ever. This is because of its reliability and price point. The 870 is an affordable shotgun that just plain works.

Another affordable, yet reliable, shotgun is the Mossberg 500. In fact, the 500 is Mossberg’s all-around monster that will eat anything that it’s fed. It is also the main competition to the 870 line, giving shooters a solid choice in extremely reliable pump-action shotguns with tons of versatility.
