Accepted Payment Methods:. At the behest of Winchester, Browning made several modifications to the gun's design, including extending and strengthening the frame, closing the top of the receiver so shells would eject completely from the side, and changing the stock and drop.

To distinguish the revamped pump from its faulty forerunner, Winchester reintroduced the gun as the Model in that same year. The company then issued what was perhaps one of the earliest consumer recalls, offering to replace any M93 shotgun returned to its factory with a brand-new M97 free of charge. Gunmaker John Browning not only designed the first commercially successful pump-action shotgun—the Winchester Model —but also used it in trap-shooting competitions. Thanks to Browning's redesign, Winchester's relaunch of its repeating pump gun proved highly effective.

In early advertisements, the company played up the pump's reliability, citing an endorsement by the U. Ordnance Board and marketing the gun with the clever slogan, "Stick to a Winchester and you won't get stuck. When "hammerless" pump guns hit the market in the early s, Winchester turned to its chief in-house designer, Thomas Crossley Johnson, to develop a modern slide-action gun with the hammer hidden in the receiver.

Johnson, who had worked for the company since , tackled the task masterfully, creating the legendary Model , which Winchester soon hailed as the "Perfect Repeater. The sporting public seemed to agree. Just five years into production, the company claimed that the gun was the number-one choice of American duck hunters. A well-worn Model 12 was the favorite fowling piece of famed novelist Ernest Hemingway. Made in , the gun, a Field Grade gauge with a inch full-choke barrel and a "corncob" forearm, accompanied Hemingway not only on most of his bird hunting outings but also on several of his African safaris.

In the posthumously published book Under Kilimanjaro, he wrote affectionately about his Model "I had the old, well-loved, once burnt-up, three times restocked, worn-smooth old Winchester model 12 pump gun that was faster than a snake and was, from thirty-five years of us being together, almost as close a friend and companion with secrets shared and triumphs and disasters not revealed as the other friend a man has all his life.

In , Winchester developed a version of this popular pump specifically for waterfowlers. Equipped with a 3-inch chamber, the Model 12 Heavy Duck Gun, which was available only in gauge, became the first repeater built to handle magnum loads.

By the time the Model 12 was discontinued, nearly two million guns had been produced over a span of more than 50 years, making it one of the most successful shotguns of all time.

While its overall blueprint has remained virtually unchanged for a century, the pump gun has benefited from modern technologies that have made today's models lighter, more durable, and more affordable than those of yesteryear. Aluminum alloy receivers and the use of high-strength polymers reduce overall weight and yet are very durable, and modern machining techniques hold tolerances to an absolute minimum.

Camouflage dips not only help keep modern pump guns concealed but also add layers of protection against the elements. Many present-day pumps also come with lengthened forcing cones, interchangeable choke tubes, high-visibility fiber-optic sights, and other important advancements that help keep them competitive with modern autoloaders. Here are some of the best contemporary pump guns for waterfowlers.

Winchester SXP. Winchester dropped the Model 12 in and replaced it with the Model , which utilized a rotary bolt and came with a lightweight aluminum alloy receiver. The was eventually supplanted by the better-quality , and that gun ultimately gave way to the Super X Pump in Winchester bills the SXP as the fastest pump gun in the world, claiming that it can fire three shots in a half second.

I can't verify that figure, but I can tell you that the SXP offers lightning-fast follow-up shots. An Inflex recoil pad helps mitigate much of the gun's kick, so you can get back on target quickly. Additionally, there are perhaps more camo options available on the SXP than for any other line of waterfowl shotguns.

Known for their tough-as-nails engineering and affordable price, Mossberg s have been familiar firearms in duck blinds across all four flyways for nearly six decades. One of the features that makes these guns so desirable is the tang-mounted safety, which is conveniently located for both right- and left-handed shooters. More than 10 million Mossberg shotguns have been sold—a testament to the popularity and functionality of these trusty repeaters.

Production numbers for Remington's pump shotgun exceed 12 million, making it the most popular shotgun of all time. When it was introduced in , the was the first pump gun to feature dual action bars to prevent the slide mechanism from binding during operation.

For strength and durability, its receiver was—and still is—machined from a solid piece of steel. Yet the gun was also one of the first pumps to use diecast and stamped components and other modern manufacturing methods. This gave it a competitive advantage over its early rival, the famed Model 12, which was made mostly of machined steel parts.

Browning's BPS pump celebrated 40 years of production in The gun is based on an original John Browning design, the Remington Model Like its predecessor, the BPS feeds and ejects spent shells through the bottom of the receiver.
