Weatherby 12 Gauge 3" 3-Round Left Hand Shotgun

The Weatherby 12 Gauge 3" 3-Round Left Hand Shotgun (model XBL1228MAG) is a purpose-built semi-automatic platform engineered for left-handed shooters who demand a modern, ergonomic approach to tactical and sport shotgun use. This left-hand configuration addresses a persistent gap in the market—the majority of semi-automatic shotguns are right-hand dominant, forcing southpaw operators to compromise on control, safety accessibility, and natural handling.

Built around the 3-inch magnum chamber standard, this shotgun accepts both 2.75-inch and 3-inch ammunition loads, offering flexibility across buckshot, slug, and specialty rounds commonly deployed in tactical environments. The semi-automatic action cycles reliably across a wide velocity spectrum, critical for consistent function whether you're running heavy 00 buck or lighter target loads. At 9.5 pounds with a 38.5-inch overall length, the platform strikes a balance between recoil management and pointability.

Left-hand dominant controls, safety levers, and charging handle placement ensure intuitive, swift operation without finger gymnastics or cross-body manipulation. With a magazine capacity of 3 rounds plus 1 in the chamber, this shotgun is an essential choice for law enforcement, armed security, competitive shooters, and home defenders who operate from the left shoulder.
