The Winchester SXP Shadow Defender is a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun with an 18-inch black barrel, a 3-inch chamber and a 5+1 tubular magazine. It weighs seven pounds and measures 38.5 inches overall, with an adjustable length of pull. The black composite synthetic stock takes interchangeable comb pieces and length-of-pull spacers. Side-mounted Picatinny rails and a drilled and tapped receiver add to the configuration, and a TruGlo fiber optic front sight and a Cylinder Invector+ choke tube come with it.

This shotgun suits a shooter who wants a compact pump gun set up for defensive-style use at home or on the range. The adjustable stock, interchangeable combs and rails let the shotgun be set up for a different job, and the supplier describes the Cylinder Invector+ choke as suited to close-range work. The manual safety keeps the controls simple to learn.
