Tang Safety and Exposed Hammer Design

The tang-mounted safety keeps your thumb in natural position for quick engagement. Exposed hammers on side-by-side shotguns give you direct mechanical feedback and visual confirmation of firing status. This traditional design eliminates hidden safeties and complex internal mechanisms. The 2-round capacity keeps the gun lean and maneuverable. Shooters accustomed to straightforward, no-frills operation often gravitate toward this layout. For more details on owning shotguns in California, review our California gun-buyer FAQ.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 20-gauge Badlander suitable for new shotgun shooters?

Yes. The 20-gauge produces less recoil than 12-gauge rounds, making it manageable for shooters building confidence. The short 18.5-inch barrel reduces overall length, improving handling in tight spaces or brushy terrain.

What does a fixed front bead sight do on a shotgun?

The front bead helps you acquire your target quickly at typical shotgun ranges. You align the bead with your target line for instinctive aiming. This setup prioritizes speed over precision, standard for field shotguns.
