Key Features
Construction and Materials
The receiver undergoes a heat-tempering process, which enhances both its structural integrity and contributes to a distinctive, resilient finish. The dual barrels are precision-machined from steel, featuring an 18.5-inch length and a blued finish for effective corrosion resistance. The fixed walnut stock provides a stable shooting platform, ensuring consistent handling and a secure grip under dynamic conditions.
Performance and Reliability
Equipped with a 3-inch chamber, this shotgun accommodates a broad range of 12-gauge ammunition, optimizing versatility for various applications. The side-by-side barrel configuration allows for immediate follow-up engagements without manual cycling. Its fixed breech-loading action is inherently reliable, mitigating potential points of failure often associated with complex repeating mechanisms, ensuring dependable operation when needed most.
Ergonomics and Sighting
The compact 18.5-inch barrel system is optimized for agile manipulation within confined environments, facilitating rapid target transitions. A front bead sight is integrated for rapid target acquisition, critical in dynamic defensive scenarios. The traditional walnut stock geometry promotes intuitive point-shooting and ensures a stable shoulder interface for controlled recoil mitigation.
