A lighter-recoiling alternative to 12 gauge. Popular for youth shooters, upland hunting, and smaller-framed users. Great balance of performance and comfort while still offering solid stopping power in buckshot and slug loads.

Slugs

Single-projectile shotgun loads for maximum stopping power and extended range. Ideal for deer hunting and barrier penetration. Available in rifled and sabot slug options depending on barrel type.
