Shotgun

The CZ 712 G2 shotgun is excellent. You’ll love everything about it, especially if you get the Green version. The look and finish, the way it comes up and points, the feel as it shoots–it’s all terrific. Even CZ-USA’s customer service is top notch.

It’s only natural; hunting is in our genes. Being the best is in our DNA. The evolutionary drive that the spoils go to the winner is built in our cells. So it only makes sense that when shooters and hunters are exposed to a shooting sport that mimics hunting wild game, we embrace it and use it as the yardstick to measure our skills.

Beretta is working on expanding their A400 Xtreme Plus series with new camo patterns and later this year, a left-handed model as well.

Silver Eagle is a firearm manufacturer in Turkey that is partnered with TR Imports, dedicated to providing us in the US with high quality firearms at an affordable price. One gun that they are able to bring to us new for 2019 is the Light Super 20 gauge. This shotgun is an affordable, high quality over-under.

The Honcho Tactical Triple is a short shotgun. The three barrels are 18.5 inches long and the 12ga weighs just 6 pounds. It’s available with either the rounded pirate grip or the standard pistol grip. It’s also got a Picatinny rail under the barrels at the front for all manner of accessories–certainly a light, but maybe a bayonet would be appropriate, too.

At range day, Kel-Tec drew quite the crowd with their new guns. Of the new ones, the KS7 was one of the most popular. This variant of the KSG is basically the same bullpup shotgun that we love, but with a single magazine tube and a carry handle/sight. I had the opportunity to shoot the KS7 at the range and I can testify that it is as awesome as you would hope.

Kent was founded in 1996 by members of a hunt club, and the demands of hunting guide the production of their shotgun loads. This year there’s a big update made to their Faststeel and Turkey loads.

Genesis Arms has introduced both a full production Gen-12 Shotgun, as well as Gen-12 upper receivers that can be swapped with any DPMS Pattern Gen 1 lower receiver.  Pop out the two takedown pins on your AR-10, throw the new Gen-12 upper on and you are ready to rock.

So who is the market for this gun?  I can see it doing well for someone in the 3-Gun world, someone in the market for a home defense solution, or even someone just looking to have fun at the range.
