Easy to pack and carry. This Defender is THE Defender. It can handle buckshot or rifled slugs efficiently through the fully chrome plated, 18″ fixed cylinder choked barrel (no constriction) for wide patterning. This open choke is also very accurate when using Foster-type slugs. It also has non-glare metal surfaces with a tough composite stock and forearm. Additional features include a five-shot magazine (plus one in the chamber), and a positive, deeply grooved forearm for control and stability. Whether it’s multi-gun competition or protecting your home and family, the Super X Pump Defender is the perfect choice. Its inertia-assisted action, six-shell total ammo capacity, durable composite stock and ribbed forearm give you an edge against any odds.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made.Suitable for everything from doves to geese.With sporting, military and law enforcement applications.Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”.The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey.Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge.Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS.Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot.While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers.The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells. — Craig Boddington
