Key Features
Thumbhole Stock Design – WHY IT MATTERS: The ergonomic thumbhole grip keeps your hand locked in the same position every time, reducing fatigue and improving accuracy during long days in the field or at the range.
Break-Open Single Shot Action – WHY IT MATTERS: Simple to load, unload, and inspect for safety. No magazine or complex cycling means fewer moving parts to fail, making it a reliable choice for training new shooters.
Lightweight 4.5-lb Construction – WHY IT MATTERS: At under 5 pounds, this shotgun is easy to carry all day on a rabbit hunt or tote in a scabbard on an ATV. It also reduces felt recoil for youth or smaller-framed shooters.
Front Bead Sight – WHY IT MATTERS: A bright front bead lets you pick up targets quickly in low light or thick cover, which is critical when swinging on flushed quail or clay pigeons.
Paracord Sling Included – WHY IT MATTERS: The included sling adds hands-free carry and can be repurposed for emergency use if needed—a practical bonus for anyone who spends time afield.
Who It’s For
The Pointer PUP is ideal for beginners, youth shooters, and budget-conscious hunters who want a dedicated .410 single shot for small game like squirrels, rabbits, and doves. It also works well as a pest control tool around the farm or a trail gun for hikers and campers. The thumbhole stock makes it a solid choice for shooters with shorter arms or smaller hands.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Affordable price point, lightweight and easy to carry, thumbhole stock improves grip and control, paracord sling adds value, simple operation for new shooters.
Cons: Single shot limits follow-up speed, synthetic stock feels less premium than wood, and the front bead sight is basic—no fiber optic or adjustable rear. One honest drawback: the break-open action can be stiff out of the box, requiring a firm push to fully close the barrel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What gauge shells does the Pointer PUP .410 accept?
It accepts both 2.5-inch and 3-inch .410 bore shells. The 3-inch shells offer heavier payloads for larger small game or longer shots.
Is this shotgun suitable for youth shooters?
Yes. With a 4.5-lb weight and a compact 32-inch overall length, the PUP is a common choice for introducing young or smaller-framed shooters to shotgunning. The thumbhole stock helps maintain a consistent grip.
Does the Pointer PUP have interchangeable chokes?
No, the barrel has a fixed choke. Per the manufacturer specs, it is typically a modified choke, which balances pattern density and spread for most small-game and target loads.
Can I mount a scope or red dot on this shotgun?
The barrel and receiver are not drilled and tapped for optics. It comes with a front bead sight only. If you want optics, you would need a gunsmith to install a rail or use a barrel clamp mount.
Is the paracord sling removable?
Yes, the sling attaches via quick-detach swivels or simple loops. You can replace it with any standard 1-inch sling if you prefer a different style or color.
