The Citadel PAT shotgun has a three inch chamber, making this shotgun perfect for home defense. This model also features a padded butt stock, a top and bottom picatinny rail, and ghost ring sights.
Picked it up yesterday, shot it this morning. My second Citadel shotgun, the first was a Bosshog 12 gauge semiauto. The Bosshog is a great gun but too much recoil for me, so I got this in 20 gauge. Test fired it with Remington 4 shot express and Monarch 000 buckshot and a few Federal 7 1/2 steel shot shells. The Federal steel was rated at 1500 feet per second and was the hardest kicking load, recoil was still very comfortable in the 20 gauge caliber. Had a few failures to eject due to this being a new shotgun in unfired condition but I know from experience ejection will improve quickly as the shotgun parts wear in. This is about my 5th or 6th Turkish made shotgun and they are all like this, I think that to save money the Turks don't break edges on their guns. This isn't a big problem. I do reccomend shooting a hundred rounds through a new gun before you bet your life on the gun being reliable. I shot about 30 shells this morning and I am very satisfied.
Great gun. Was looking for a home defense gun that the wife could easily handle. Shots flawlessly and comes with the Ghost ring sites. Glad I bought 2 when I did.
