The LTLX7000 is a 12-gauge shotgun with a collapsible stock that fires a specially designed rubber projectile out of a rifled barrel. Its special barrel is permanently mated with a red-dot scope and a system of gears that opens and closes ports in the barrel to vent precisely varying levels of gas when the round is fired and allow the operator to automatically compensate for the distance to the target. This is an extremely versatile system that is unique in its ability to deliver equal amounts of on-target, less-lethal force at a wide range of distances. Beretta has managed to successfully deliver a solution that allows for an easy transition with minimal training, low possibility of user error, precision and versatility with a single round.<\/p>\n\n\n\nElite Tactical Advantage 12 GA.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CZ 612 HCP<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Chambered for 2\u00be- or 3-inch shells, the HC-P is built on a forged aluminum receiver, making it plenty strong yet very lightweight. The 20-inch barrel is topped off with a protected green fiber-optic front sight, and threaded for CZ chokes, it comes with one cylinder bore choke installed. It balances well, points quickly and ran without a hitch. \u201cFederal\u2019s LE132 #1 buckshot shot so tightly that I checked to see if a slug had been loaded inadvertently. All 15 pellets fell inside 1.2 inches,\u201d wrote author Dave Bahde. \u201cShooting slugs is as much about the shooter as the gun, but this shotgun was as accurate as any using combat-oriented sights.\u201d If you need a shotgun that works with a price tag that won\u2019t break the bank, be sure to take a close look at the CZ 612 HC-P.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBeretta LTLX7000 Less Lethal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The LTLX7000 is a 12-gauge shotgun with a collapsible stock that fires a specially designed rubber projectile out of a rifled barrel. Its special barrel is permanently mated with a red-dot scope and a system of gears that opens and closes ports in the barrel to vent precisely varying levels of gas when the round is fired and allow the operator to automatically compensate for the distance to the target. This is an extremely versatile system that is unique in its ability to deliver equal amounts of on-target, less-lethal force at a wide range of distances. Beretta has managed to successfully deliver a solution that allows for an easy transition with minimal training, low possibility of user error, precision and versatility with a single round.<\/p>\n\n\n\nElite Tactical Advantage 12 GA.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Remington 870 Police Magnum shotguns are known for their rugged reliability. This tricked-out 870 was no featherweight, but it was incredibly solid. This meant that recoil was minimal, even with the harsher loads. When the tactical or low recoil loads were used, it was downright pleasant to shoot. \u201cPatterning was excellent, something you expect these days with quality ammunition,\u201d author Dave Bahde wrote. \u201cThe tightest pattern for the test was accomplished using the Hornady TAP Light Magnum loads\u2026 Given the weight of the gun, the recoil was minimal.\u201d With the appropriate accessories, this shotgun is just about perfect for patrol or entry work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
