When evaluating a defense shotgun for reliable home or duty use, simplicity and serviceability are paramount. A straightforward pump-action platform that arrives ready to evaluate can be a solid foundation for a defensive setup when paired with the right accessories and a few hands-on checks.

STEVENS 320 SECURITY

Overview and what “comes as shown, missing front sight” means

The STEVENS 320 SECURITY is listed in the Pump Action category and is offered at $200.99. The listing specifies the firearm “comes as shown, missing front sight,” which directly affects immediate use for point-and-shoot aiming. The frame and pump-action mechanics are the core strengths of this platform: straightforward operation, easy manual of arms, and durable internals common to the Stevens lineup. The model designation Various indicates this listing may reflect a unit from a mixed production run; confirm stock and butt dimensions onsite if fit is critical.

Sight considerations and practical solutions

A missing front sight reduces the ability to perform quick, instinctive sighting at close ranges. Options include installing a replacement bead or fiber-optic front sight, using an aftermarket sight that matches the barrel’s mounting method, or fitting a ghost-ring rear and taller front for faster acquisition. Because the listing states the item “comes as shown,” plan on a small parts purchase or gunsmith visit to restore a factory-type front sight. For buyers who prefer hands-on work, a qualified armorer can typically fit a replacement sight quickly and affordably.

Tactical use and maintenance

For defensive roles, the pump-action design offers proven reliability and simple clearing procedures under stress. Routine maintenance—barrel and action cleaning, inspection of the magazine and forend components, and a function check of the action—is especially important when an external component like a front sight is absent. Consider a sling and simple stock-mounted lighting or rail-mounted optics only after confirming compatibility with the barreled action and forend on this specific unit.

For a low upfront investment of $200.99, the STEVENS 320 SECURITY can be a cost-effective route into a dependable pump-action platform provided buyers account for the missing front sight and plan for a brief service or parts purchase.
