Mossberg 50165 500 Bantam 3" 6-Round Pump-Action Shotgun

The Mossberg 500 Bantam Slugster 410 Gauge Pump Shotgun is purpose-built for shooters seeking a compact, lightweight tactical platform with genuine stopping power in a smaller frame. Designed specifically for youth, smaller-statured operators, and those prioritizing portability without sacrificing reliability, this pump-action shotgun delivers the legendary Mossberg 500 Series performance in a reduced-dimension package. At 7.44 pounds and 36.5 inches overall length, it excels in vehicle storage, close-quarters home defense, and controlled patrol environments where full-size 12-gauge shotguns present handling challenges.

This 410-gauge shotgun features Mossberg's proven dual-extractor system, steel-to-steel lockup, and twin action bars with anti-jam elevator mechanism—the same combat-proven controls that set the industry standard across law enforcement and military service. The 20-inch matte blued steel barrel with cylinder bore choke delivers tight patterns essential for slug accuracy at tactical distances, while the fixed synthetic stock ensures consistent handling in dynamic conditions and eliminates weather-related shifts in point of impact. The 5+1 capacity (five rounds in magazine plus one in chamber) provides rapid follow-up shot capability for threat neutralization scenarios, and the pump action's inherent reliability operates flawlessly across varying ammunition types and environmental conditions.

The Mossberg 500 Bantam Slugster 410 Gauge Pump is ideal for new tactical shooters, personal defense in confined spaces, and operators transitioning from patrol shotguns to specialized platforms. Its cylinder bore choke and slug-capable design make it equally suitable for hunting applications requiring precision, while the fixed synthetic furniture resists corrosion and maintains zero shift through repeated deployment cycles. Full compatibility with standard Mossberg 500 stocks and aftermarket components allows users to customize ergonomics and add tactical accessories as mission requirements evolve, ensuring this platform grows with operator skill and operational demands.
