Overview
Built for close-quarters defensive use, this compact 12-gauge pump-action shotgun is suited to home protection where maneuverability matters. The 14-inch barrel and fixed Raptor bird’s head pistol grip keep the profile short, while the grip design is intended to help reduce felt recoil. Practical features such as ambidextrous safety, dual extractors, and an anti-jam elevator support straightforward operation, and the bead front sight provides a simple aiming reference. Its 5+1 capacity and 3-inch chamber round out a package focused on compact, no-nonsense defensive readiness.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 14-inch barrel and 26.37-inch overall length make this a very compact shotgun, which can be less versatile for applications where a longer platform is preferred.
- The fixed Raptor bird's head pistol grip is part of the design, so it does not offer the same shoulder-fired handling as a traditional stocked shotgun.
- Capacity is listed at 5+1, which may be limiting for users who want more onboard rounds before reloading.
- The bead front sight is simple and functional, but it does not provide the same level of aiming reference as more elaborate sighting systems.
