Charles Daly 930397 301 20 Gauge 3" 6-Round Pump-Action Shotgun

The Charles Daly 930397 301 20 Gauge 3" 6-Round Pump-Action Shotgun is a proven, reliable firearm engineered for home defense, sport shooting, and tactical applications. Built by Chiappa under the Charles Daly nameplate, this 20-gauge pump-action delivers the stopping power professionals demand while remaining accessible to shooters of varying experience levels. At 10.3 lbs with a 42-inch overall length, it balances controllability with sufficient mass for shot placement and reduced recoil impulse—critical factors in high-stress defensive scenarios.

The pump-action mechanism provides the manual control law enforcement and armed civilians rely on when reliability is non-negotiable. The 3-inch chamber accommodates standard 2.75-inch and 3-inch shotshell loads, offering flexibility in ammunition selection from light target loads to full-power defensive rounds. A 6-round tube magazine capacity strikes the balance between sufficient ammunition on hand and overall weapon manageability. The 20-gauge platform generates less perceived recoil than 12-gauge equivalents, improving follow-up shot speed and accuracy—particularly advantageous in close-quarters defensive engagements where multiple shots may be necessary.

This shotgun is ideal for home defense, law enforcement duty, and tactical training programs where a compact, intuitive platform is essential. The 20-gauge chambering makes it suitable for shooters who prioritize reduced recoil without sacrificing terminal effectiveness, including younger or smaller-framed operators. Its straightforward pump design requires minimal maintenance and functions reliably across commercial ammunition variants, making it a practical choice for anyone seeking a dependable, field-proven defensive shotgun for sale or personal inventory.
