Taylor's & Co. & Company 220101 12 Gauge 22" 1-Round Walnut Stock Shotgun

The Taylor's & Company 220101 12 Gauge 22" 1-Round Walnut Stock Shotgun is a classic single-shot platform built for hunters, sport shooters, and those seeking a reliable, no-frills firearm for home defense or field use. This shotgun combines proven mechanical simplicity with affordable accessibility, making it an excellent entry point for shooters who prioritize reliability over tactical modularity. The single-round capacity eliminates complexity while delivering decisive stopping power in a compact, maneuverable package suitable for close-quarters engagement or hunting applications where one well-placed shot is sufficient.

Built with a 22-inch barrel, this 12-gauge delivers optimal velocity and pattern density for defensive distances while maintaining handling agility in confined spaces—critical for law enforcement and civilian self-defense scenarios. The walnut furniture provides both ergonomic grip control and classic durability; walnut absorbs recoil energy more effectively than synthetic materials and resists weather damage when properly maintained. At 11 pounds, the shotgun balances substantial mass for recoil mitigation with manageable weight for extended carry or tactical repositioning, while the 49.8-inch overall length ensures quick target acquisition without sacrificing control or muzzle velocity.

This shotgun is ideal for rural homeowners, traditional sport shooters, and budget-conscious operators who demand straightforward mechanical function without electronic or complex mechanical safeties that can fail under stress. The single-shot design eliminates feed-related malfunctions common in semi-automatic shotguns, making it exceptionally reliable with all standard 12-gauge ammunition types—buckshot, slugs, and birdshot—without adjustment or compatibility concerns. Operators familiar with break-action shotguns will find the manual of arms intuitive; the simple loading and firing cycle requires minimal training and suits both right and left-handed shooters with equal ease.
