Maverick 88 Security 12 GA 20" Cylinder Bore 7+1
Length of Pull info. what is Length of Pull and what does it matter? why i am asking: one of the reviews said "you must have long arms to run the pump effectively". this being 7+1 version is why i want to buy it over the normal 5+1 version. i have shorter arms than most men & i'm worried the additional distance to reach the pump handle might be problem for me to be comfortable with it. info given on the description lists the LOP 14.25 but the 5+1(shorter LOP?) no LOP listing to compare it.

Length of Paul is the distance from the trigger to the rear of the stock. And it matters because a smaller shorter person would be more comfortable with a shorter LOP.

Larry the fact that it is a 7+1 gun would have no effect on the forearm placement. it just has more exposed magazine tube in FRONT of the forearm. should be no problem. My guess the review about needing longer arms comes from someone who is sholdering the shotgun "funny" or has little experance with a pump.
