Stoeger Double Defense

December 14, 2009

Personal defense handguns are always a hot topic around the NRA, but lately shotguns have really been getting some notice, both inside and outside the office.

Why? Well, there’s no substitute for a shotgun in a personal defense situation. Just the sound of someone racking the slide of an 870 can send shivers down an intruder’s spine.

Stoeger has taken a little different approach when it comes to personal defense shotguns. Stoeger seems to think side-by-sides are the way to go, and after seeing the Double Defense shotgun, I may have to give them some thought. Side-by-side shotguns swing great and you can get two shots off faster than using a pump.

Here are a few specs about the Double Defense:

1. Black hardwood stock
2. Available in 12 or 20 gauge
3. 20-inch barrels
4. Both barrels are ported with fixed improved cylinder chokes
5. Two tac-rails to mount accessories

The gun looks like it means business, and I'm betting it can get the job done.
