The Honcho Tactical Triple-Barreled 12 Gauge by Charles Daly - SHOT Show 2019

The Honcho Tactical Triple has three barrels. It’s amazing it only weighs 6 pounds with all that steel.

There’s nothing better than a side-by-side double-barreled shotgun. Erm, I mean, there’s nothing better than an over/under shotgun. Well, if you’re like me and you just can’t make up your mind, then Charles Daly’s new Honcho Tactical Triple might be just the thing for you.

Chambered for 2 3/4″ or 3″ shells, or you can get it in .410.

Three Barrels

It’s built as you’d expect a double-barreled or over/under to be built, except that it’s both. Three barrels, and three shots, all chambered in 12 gauge or you can get it in .410. It breaks open to extract all three shells at once. Work the single trigger three times to fire all three barrels.

: All three barrels are exposed when it breaks open.

: Tang safety; I don’t think you can select barrels here, I think it’s always the same order.

: Classic styling on a non-traditional gun.

: Brass bead, but are you really going to use it with pistol grips?

Pistol Grips

The Honcho Tactical Triple is a short shotgun. The barrels are 18.5 inches long and the 12ga weighs just 6 pounds. It’s available with either the rounded pirate grip or the standard pistol grip. The grips and forends are solid walnut covered in rubber for positive grip in all situations. The pistol grip is checkered, while the pirate grip has scallops for your fingers. It’s also got a Picatinny rail under the barrels at the front for all manner of accessories–certainly a light, but maybe a bayonet would be appropriate, too.
