Frequently asked questions

What's the actual capacity of this shotgun?

Seven rounds in the magazine tube plus one chambered gives you eight total. The 18.5-inch barrel design keeps the overall length manageable for tactical movement and vehicle storage.

Does the pistol grip affect how this shotgun handles?

Yes—the pistol grip reduces length of pull and lets you keep your support hand closer to the receiver. Trade-off: less surface area for recoil management, so proper technique matters more than with traditional stocks.

Does TacticCAL help with CA compliant firearms?

Yes — TacticCAL specializes in California-compliant handguns from the DOJ Roster and PC §32100 exempt single-action revolvers. Looking to Sell My Gun? Visit TacticCAL in Sunnyvale — we buy from California residents.
