Frequently Asked Questions

Why do people use pump-action shotguns?

Also known as slide-action or trombone action, these shotguns are simple, versatile, and reliable. They have fewer bells and whistles, making them budget-friendly. Plus, their design allows shooters to recock the firearm without looking away from their target, which is great for follow-up shots during bird hunting.

Is a pump shotgun good for self-defense?

Not only are they good for self-defense, but they're actually the most popular type of gun used for home defense. That's because they're versatile. They can use a wider variety of shells than semi-auto shotguns can, such as reduced load and less-lethal shells. With the use of buckshot shells, they become a devastating CQC weapon. Loading it with slugs turns your pump-action shotgun into a medium-range, decently accurate firearm with an effective range of up to 100 yards. However, we don't recommend using slugs for home defense. It can penetrate through walls, hurting innocent bystanders.

Can you ship a shotgun to my house?

Only individuals with an FFL can accept a firearm through the mail, so orders placed with us are sent to your local dealer of choice. Once it arrives, you can go to pick it up. We strongly recommend contacting your dealer about taking deliveries before ordering!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Citadel shotguns good?

Citadel produces firearms that are some of the most affordable on the market. Their shotguns perform well for the price. If you want something that is more premium, you should opt for a Benelli semi-auto shotgun. For another affordable brand, Mossberg pump-action shotguns offer excellent performance at budget prices.

What does "12-gauge" mean?

"12-gauge" means that with 1 pound of lead, you could make 12 equally sized balls with the same diameter as the shotgun barrel. It's an old measurement system from when gun owners made their own ammunition that has persisted to modern-day Citadel 12-gauge shotguns.

Can you ship my Citadel shotgun to my home?

No. We cannot send guns directly to our customers' houses. Instead, you must send your order to a local FFL dealer. You can pick it up from them. We recommend confirming with your gun dealer that they accept your package before placing your order.
