'''Pump-action shotguns''', also called '''pump shotguns''', '''slide-action repeating shotguns''' or '''slide-action shotguns''' are the most commonly seen pump-action firearms. These [[shotgun]]s typically use a [[tubular magazine]] underneath the [[gun barrel]] to hold the [[shotshell|shell]]s, though there are some variants that use a [[box magazine]] like most rifles. It's not uncommon to see extra ammunition stored in externally mounted "shell holder" racks (usually as "sidesaddle" on one side of the [[receiver (firearms)|receiver]], or on the [[buttstock]]) for quick on-field reloading. The shells are chambered and extracted by pulling/pushing the sliding [[forearm (firearm component)|fore-end]] enveloping the tubular magazine toward the user.

In modern shotguns, the fore-end can be replaceable and often include [[picatinny rails]] or [[M-LOK]] for mounting accessories such as a [[tactical light]], and the traditional straight grip might be replaced with a [[pistol grip]] for a more stable control.

===Trigger disconnectors===
Modern pump shotgun designs, such as the [[Remington 870]] and [[Mossberg 500]], have a safety feature called a trigger disconnector, which disconnects the trigger from the [[sear (firearm)|sear]] as the bolt moves back, so that the trigger must be released and pulled again to fire the shotgun after it closes. Many early pump shotguns, such as the [[Winchester 1897]], did not have trigger disconnectors, and would, if the trigger were held back, fire immediately upon closing.<ref name="Adler2015">{{cite book|last=Adler|first=Dennis|title=Winchester Shotguns|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zVSJCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT151|date=10 November 2015|publisher=Skyhorse Publishing|location=New York|isbn=978-1-5107-0924-9|pages=151–152}}</ref> Due to the higher rate of fire that this allows, some shooters prefer models without this feature, such as the [[Ithaca 37]],<ref name="Kirchner2008">{{cite book|last=Kirchner|first=Paul|title=Jim Cirillo's Tales of the Stakeout Squad|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yoDKAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT31|date=1 April 2008|publisher=Paladin Press|location=Boulder, Colorado|isbn=978-1-61004-693-0|pages=31–32}}</ref> [[Stevens Model 520/620]],<ref name="Thompson2013">{{cite book|last=Thompson|first=Leroy|title=US Combat Shotguns|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hU2bCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA18|date=20 August 2013|publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing|isbn=978-1-78096-016-6|pages=18–19}}</ref> and [[Winchester Model 12]].<ref name="Adler2015"/>
