What's Included
- Mossberg 500A Security/Persuader 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun
The Security/Persuader setup pairs a 20 in plain bead-sight barrel with a full-length 7+1 tubular magazine. A brass bead front sight offers a clean, fast reference. The magazine uses a knurled cap, and the barrel is secured to the magazine tube via the standard Mossberg barrel lug—no separate clamp at the muzzle.
Controls and handling are straightforward and ambidextrous. The top-mounted tang safety is easy to access, the ribbed corncob-style synthetic fore-end provides positive purchase, and the medium gray synthetic stock includes a recoil pad and rear sling-swivel stud. Length of pull is 14.25 in.
The action is engineered for durability and smooth cycling, with twin action bars, dual extractors, steel-to-steel lockup, and an anti-jam elevator. The receiver is aluminum alloy with an anodized finish.
Made in the United States, the receiver is rollmarked "Mossberg - Made in U.S.A. - North Haven, Conn. - 500A 12 GA," denoting its North Haven, Connecticut origin and model designation.
