The 20.5-inch carbon-steel barrel is threaded into a matte-parkerized receiver, delivering a durable, corrosion-resistant finish across the entire firearm. The cylinder-bore choke pairs with the 2 3/4-inch chamber to handle a broad range of defensive and duty-grade loads.
A ribbed synthetic fore-end and matching black synthetic stock keep overall weight manageable while providing a 14-inch length of pull for a solid shoulder fit. The top-tang ambidextrous safety is easy to access without shifting your firing grip.
The Persuader’s 7+1 capacity, combined with ghost-ring sights—raised square-block front and folding aperture rear—offers fast target acquisition and ample onboard ammunition. The aftermarket rear sight adds precision without compromising the shotgun’s compact profile.
