What’s Included
- Stoeger P3000 Defense Pistol Grip 12 Gauge pump shotgun
The P3000 Defense uses dual action bars and a barrel-extension locking system to ensure solid, consistent cycling—whether you’re running light target loads or full-power 3-inch buckshot. A cross-bolt safety is positioned behind the trigger for intuitive operation under stress.
Its one-piece alloy receiver and matte black anodized finish match the synthetic fore-end and pistol-grip stock for a uniform, non-reflective appearance. Integrated sling-swivel studs and a cushioned recoil pad come standard to support carry and rapid follow-up shots.
Up front, a ramped blade sight offers a clear aiming reference without snagging on gear, while the fixed cylinder choke maximizes pattern spread at typical defensive distances. With a 14.5-inch length of pull, most shooters will find the shotgun points naturally and shoulders quickly.
Built as an affordable yet dependable defender, the P3000 Defense retains Stoeger’s straightforward design philosophy, making maintenance simple and aftermarket accessorizing easy if you choose to add lights or side-saddles later.
