The Best New Shotguns from SHOT Show 2019
From high-end autoloaders to affordable double guns to shorty home-defense guns, there’s a little something for every shotgunner this year
https://www.outdoorlife.com/hottest-new-shotguns-from-shot-show-2019The shotgun world is plenty diverse, and you’ll see that when you scroll through our roundup of new guns from the SHOT Show. There were two obvious shotgun trends this year. The first, is that gunmakers are rolling out waterfowl-specific guns. That means Cerakote, enlarged controls, and more recoil reduction padding. The second trend is the boom in shorty guns. Now, from a legal definition, these shorties aren’t actually “shotguns†because they aren’t designed to be fired from the shoulder. These guns do not require a special tax stamp to own. (You can read more about that here.) But these shorty guns fire a shotshell and have standard shotgun actions, so we're including them here. We’ll cover the standard shotguns first, then get to the shorty guns at the end of the round up.---
CZ Bobwhite G2
Among all the tactical beards and camouflage, serious upland bird hunters sometimes seem like an endangered species at the SHOT Show. But the ones I talked to were all interested in CZ’s revitalized side-by-side: The Bobwhite G2. The barrels are finished in black chrome (so it’s more weather resistant than the old blued barrels), it has an English-style straight grip, and double triggers. It’s available in 12, 20, and 28 gauge. The best part? The MSRP starts at a very reasonable $655. *—A.R. *
