Ria Imports Meriva 12/18.5/3" Blk

The Armscor Ria Imports Meriva 12 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun with 18.5" Barrel in Black is a compact, purpose-built fighting shotgun engineered for defensive and tactical applications where barrel length and maneuverability matter. The 18.5" smooth bore delivers the balance between velocity and handlability that operators require in confined spaces, vehicle-based deployments, and close-quarters training scenarios. At 40.15" overall length, this shotgun maintains a tight footprint without sacrificing functionality—critical for storage in patrol cars, entry teams, and home defense positions.

The Meriva's 3" chamber accepts both 2.75" and 3" shotgun rounds, providing ammunition flexibility for duty and training loads. The pump action mechanism delivers reliable cycling even after extended periods in storage or harsh conditions—a proven platform for law enforcement and military use. The black anodized finish resists corrosion and glare, while the polymer stock reduces weight and eliminates stock rattle common on wood furniture. The fixed front sight enables point-of-aim accuracy at defensive ranges without batteries or breakable components. A 5-round tube capacity provides adequate combat load for most engagement profiles.

This shotgun suits patrol officers seeking a compact defensive option, security personnel requiring a confined-space launcher, and serious sport shooters running close-quarters tactical courses. The short barrel and light recoil impulse of pump-action shotguns make the Meriva accessible for training new shooters or supporting lighter-framed operators. The 12-gauge platform delivers proven stopping authority at defensive distances while remaining controllable in repeated-fire strings—characteristics valued across law enforcement and civilian defensive training disciplines.
