![]() They’re better in a defensive scenario because less reloading and faster follow-up shots make the user more combat-effective. ![]() If you want more than two rounds on board (unlike doubles) and don’t want to worry about cycling the action between shots (like one does with a pump action shotgun), you want a semi-auto shotgun. The A5 is, by all accounts, a very worthy successor. When he developed the original Auto 5, John Moses Browning made the semi-automatic shotguns reliable, popular and attainable. Part of the model lineup is a return of the Sweet 16, a 16-gauge echoing the Auto 5 Sweet Sixteen of so many years ago. ![]() However, 12-gauge is the only choice outside of a single model. You have your choice across most models of 26-, 28-, and 30-inch barrels and 3- or 3-½” chambers. Multiple finishes and furniture choices are available, including blued steel and walnut or camo and synthetic-all models ship with three Invector interchangeable choke tubes and a fiber optic front sight. It also comes with a 100,000-round, 5-year warranty that’s how confident Browning is in these guns. The revised internals make the gun simpler, smoother and more reliable than the original ever was. The A5 has the Auto 5’s trademark humpback receiver, which gives it a classic shape and gorgeous lines. What’s old is new again, and John Browning’s resurrected Auto 5 - now dubbed the Browning A5 - improves the breed by adding their Kinematic Drive (they call it “short recoil”, but it’s an inertia system) to make it a bit less load-sensitive. Competition Pick: TTI Ultimate 3 Gun Benelli M2 The M4 is a pistol grip shotgun that has proven its capabilities in combat time and time again, and while they come dearly, “better” doesn’t exist off the shelf when it comes to the semi-auto tactical shotguns segment. Sling mounting rings are located on the stock and attached to the magazine tube. Irons are ghost ring sights at the rear and a black front blade. Like the Benelli M2 and M3 before it, the receiver’s top offers up a Picatinny rail if you want to attach an optic or red dot. Available in 12-gauge, with a 3-inch chamber, the standard barrel length is 18 inches, with a 5+1 capacity. The M4 uses a dual-piston gas-operated system rather than the SBE’s inertia system, which makes it a little softer shooting when you up the load to buckshot or slug. The M4 is the scattergun of choice for John Wick, the United States Marine Corps, and many other noteworthy combat operators. If you want a gun for home defense or 3 Gun (or both) and demand no less than the best, here it is. The Benelli M4 is the modern combat shotgun. A better home defense shotgun may not be available at any price. The LTT 1301 is arguably the same in the world of tactical shotguns. The Langdon Elite 92 series of pistols is thought of as the perfection of the 92 series of guns. You can also add an Aridus mount for a red dot and an Aridus side saddle shell holder. Magpul’s Zhukov forend (typically for Yugo-pattern AKs) is added and incorporates M-Lok slots for attaching a light, sling or other accessories, Nordic Components magazine extension.Īn enlarged safety button, shell release, and charging handle are also added for more straightforward operation. It’s rugged & reliable, but Langdon adds some critical improvements over the base model.Ī Magpul shotgun stock replaces the standard synthetic stock. The 1301 is a gas-operated semi-auto 12-gauge with a 3-inch chamber. While known for his utter wizardry with the 92 and PX4 series of pistols, he’s now offering an upgrade package for the Beretta 1301, Beretta’s combat shotgun. Beretta has a long-standing relationship with Ernest Langdon, a national champion USPSA and IDPA shooter and gunsmith.
