The Cruiser configuration comes from the factory with a black synthetic pistol grip featuring finger grooves and a ribbed synthetic fore-end for a secure hold. The 20 in barrel uses a fixed cylinder bore and a front brass bead, with no rear sight, for simple, fast alignment.
This Model 88 uses a dedicated 8-shot barrel and magazine arrangement, giving it a 7+1 capacity with the extended tube running nearly flush to the muzzle. There are no screw-on magazine extensions in this platform.
It shares the Mossberg 500's core architecture, including twin action bars, dual extractors, steel-to-steel lockup, and an anti-jam elevator. The action is a straightforward pump with a cross-bolt safety and a durable matte black/blue finish on the receiver and barrel.
Chambered for both 2 3/4 in and 3 in shells, the gun offers flexibility across common 12 gauge loads. This variant is identified as Maverick Arms part number 31080 and is assembled in Eagle Pass, Texas, USA.
