I’ve had this shotgun for a year now (Security model). NEVER a feeding or firing issue. Very generous recoil pad, smooth action, easy to clean, rotary bolt-can’t beat it. If I had one complaint, the slide release button should be bigger. I actually think it looks really good. I bought mine with the ghost ring sights and fiber optic front sight. Gun is outstanding, and the price just make it a no brainer🇺🇸

I've yet to hear anything bad about the Steven's line!

I know this video is a year old, but thought I would give my two cents worth. A little background so you know I have others to compare...I have an SKB M605 O/U that I inherited from my uncle. I have an old Ithaca 37 Featherweight, and I have a Mossberg 500. I have extensive experience with the Remington 870 from being swat/tactical team member. I bought the Stevens for $219; to become my "trunk gun". It came with a short security barrel and a longer hunting barrel. I put on the short security barrel, loaded up three rounds, and stepped out the back door and fired those rounds. Functioned great, no hang ups. The pump sounds a little gritty, but who knows, maybe that will go away with use. The pump action works easier than my Ithaca pump. I believe I will pack this back up in the box and give it to my son as a gift when he comes home from deployment next year. Every 22 year old needs a solid "working mans" shotgun to beat up. Don't worry, I live in the free state of Idaho and can legally give my son a shotgun without breaking any laws.

I have a Stevens 320 with almost 600 shots I absolutely have no problems I keep my gun bone stock

The one I got was the modal 320 Security with the ghost ring sight. Little more $ but no complaints. Love to see someone else enjoy this Stevens.

I have all three of these Shotguns all Defensive or security models. I upgraded the stock on the Hatfield to wood, it reduced the felt recoil drastically, I burned the stock black, added a heat shield, mag extension, a flashlight and polished all the internal parts. All of these upgrades took this from a good shotgun to a great shotgun. My Maverick 7+1 has a heat shield, 80's Vintage corn cob foregrip walnut furniture with the 7 5/8 action slide, and an oversized brass bead, it's a poor man's Retrograde riot shotgun it's a Great Shotgun My Stevens is the thumb hole grip model, with ghost ring sights, I modified a Mossberg 500 heat shield to fit it, also added a +2 mag extension. I highly recommend Polishing all the internal parts of all of these shotguns anywhere metal meets metal. You can take a new tight action and make it feel like a perfectly broke in 500+ round action, with a Dremal tool, polishing head metal polish and about 30 minutes. In a stock from the factory out the box, which would I choose or recommend? I would say the Mav 88 has the best aftermarket support, has some parts made in Mexico but is made in America you can't go wrong. But My Stevens has the slickest action out the box and lightest felt recoil, also with no modifications or adapters it will shoot Mini shells 100% reliably. Stevens in my opinion is the better buy.

Where did you get the accessories for the Hatfield I have one also and would love to do some upgrading , heat shield mag extension even the stock

I got mine about 2 years ago at RK for about $250. Probably a little more than I should have paid considering but I'm not sorry. It got me into clay shooting and I've had a lot of fun with it. It came with a couple extra chokes and, of course, the sling swivels. Very smooth shooter especially with game/target loads. Nice recoil mitigation. I highly recommend.

Purchased my 320 from Walmart in the 20G for my 12 year old to turkey hunt. Outstanding shotgun. Paid $129.00 and it feels like a $300 shotgun. Accurate and lightweight. My son bagged a 20 pound gobbler 1 shot. He is hooked. Stevens is definitely the definition of value.

I have one and thank you for not treating it like it's the last gun you would own. Every man or woman take pride in their weapon at hand an not day dreaming about the one they can't afford. I appreciate you being kind and not the man I listened to last night. He made you feel like you shouldn't be on the same ground as him IF this is all you could afford. Thanks again for a fair review!!

But for those of you reading this make sure you have the tactical barrel for the Foster slugs you do not want to shoot those out of your field barrel.

That is not the home defense one. They have a shorter one which I have for home defense and it has no choke option. (Smooth). It has an 18.5 inch barrel where his is a 26 inch field model. I love the firearm. It maybe cheap but it feels really good and the action is smoother than the maverick. Has a good weight to it. The maverick is lighter which from reviews don’t hurt it but shooting maybe harder to handle (not sure). Love your enthusiasm. Thanks for the video.
