Installation requires no gunsmithing; simply take possession through an FFL dealer. At 32 inches overall length with a compact profile, the Charles Daly 512T fits into patrol vehicles, gun safes, and shooting bags without the footprint of longer tactical shotguns, while delivering genuine stopping power and proven field performance.
