Overview
Built for straightforward operation, this 12-gauge pump shotgun is set up for close-quarters use where compact handling matters. Its 18.5-inch barrel and fixed cylinder choke support consistent patterns at close to medium ranges, while the 3-inch chamber and 5+1 capacity provide practical flexibility. The ATI Shotforce top-folding synthetic stock adds an adjustable fit and a more compact profile for storage or movement in tight spaces. It is a practical option for home defense or personal protection when simplicity and maneuverability are priorities.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 5+1 capacity may be limiting for users who want more onboard rounds without reloading.
- The fixed cylinder choke is suited to close to medium ranges, so it is not intended for longer-range patterning needs.
- The 18.5-inch barrel supports maneuverability in tight spaces, but it is a shorter setup than field-oriented shotgun configurations.
- The top-folding stock adds adjustability and compactness, but folding-stock ergonomics may not suit every shooter equally.
