This used Maverick 88 is a 12 gauge pump-action shotgun with a 3-inch chamber. It has dual extractors, twin action bars and a cross-bolt safety. The listing includes an 18.5-inch security barrel and a 28-inch field barrel, and the condition is listed as slightly used and in good shape overall.

The listing describes the gun as suited to home defense, security and field sports, and the two barrel lengths map to those roles. The shorter barrel suits close-range work, and the 28-inch barrel suits field use. The cross-bolt safety is the control to learn before loading. The listing gives both barrel lengths, so the shooter has one gun for two roles. The cross-bolt safety and dual extractors are the operating details to learn first.
