The break-action shotgun is among the most versatile of firearms, suitable for hunting, clays shooting, and home defense. The one drawback of that platform is that the user is limited to two shots before the gun must be reloaded. But what if you had three barrels, meaning a three-shot capacity? That would mean you had the Charles Daly Triple Threat in your hands, and it's ready to handle a broad and diverse range of tasks with grace and precision.

Created for use with 3" or smaller shells, the Triple Threat comes in 12-gauge, 20-gauge, 28-gauge, or .410 bore. Each has removable Remington threaded chokes in C, IC, M, IM, and F choke sizes for various practical applications and uses. You could, say, load your Triple Threat with one birdshot shell, one buckshot shell, and one slug. 

You might think that having three 18.5" steel barrels would render the shotgun heavy and bulky, but shockingly, it measures just 35.5" overall and weighs only 8.2 lbs. The trigger system is a single, non selective with a mechanical reset. Manual safety measures protect the firearm from accidental discharge when not in use or in the field.

The Triple Threat is handsomely outfitted in matching, checkered walnut on both the stock and forend. The forend is a two-piece design suitable for all types of handling and all variations of ammunition types. If you'd prefer a more tactical look, feel, and focus, there is a model available with a black synthetic stock topped by a Picatinny rail for defensive accessories like lights and lasers.

For those who need a shotgun that does more than any other, Charles Daly’s Triple Threat has you covered. No range, clay, game, or intruder is safe from the versatility and practicality of the Triple Threat. The MSRP for the shotgun and included premium case is $2,165; CharlesDaly.com
