Description

Most defensive pump guns roll off the line in flat black, so the 301 Tactical catches your eye right away with its bright nickel finish over an aluminum receiver. Underneath the good looks is a straightforward working shotgun: an 18.5 inch steel barrel, a 3 inch chamber that runs 2.75 and 3 inch shells, and a 4+1 tube that keeps the whole package compact at just over 38 inches. At 5.8 pounds it comes up quick and points naturally, which matters a lot more in a hallway or a duck blind than it does on a spec sheet.

Choke Options Set the 301 Tactical Apart

Here's the feature that separates this gun from most bargain-priced tactical pumps: the barrel is threaded for Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke tubes, and Charles Daly includes three of them, Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full. Screw in the IC for buckshot at close range, swap to Modified or Full and this same gun handles clays, small game, or turkey duty. That choke system is common on Beretta and Benelli guns, so aftermarket tube options are everywhere if you want to expand.

Built for Regular Use

The checkered black synthetic stock and forend shrug off weather and give your hands real purchase when you're running the action hard. A fixed blade front sight keeps the sight picture simple and snag-free, the single trigger and manual safety keep operation intuitive, and shells eject automatically as you cycle the pump. A rubber recoil pad takes some sting out of full-power loads, and sling studs come installed so adding a two-point sling takes minutes, not a trip to the gunsmith.

Where the Charles Daly 301 Shines

This is a do-a-little-of-everything shotgun. The short barrel and light weight make it a natural for home defense, while the included chokes let it moonlight at the range or in the field without buying a second barrel. If you want a pump gun that covers multiple jobs and doesn't look like every other black shotgun in the rack, the 301 Tactical makes a strong case for itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What choke tubes work with the Charles Daly 301 Tactical?

The barrel is threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke pattern, and three tubes come in the box: Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full. Since Mobil is one of the most common choke threads out there, finding aftermarket tubes in other constrictions is easy. That gives this gun way more versatility than a fixed cylinder-bore tactical pump.

Can the 301 Tactical shoot both 2.75 inch and 3 inch shells?

Yes. The 3 inch chamber handles standard 2.75 inch loads as well as 3 inch magnum shells. That means everything from light target loads to heavier buckshot and hunting loads will run through it.

Is the Charles Daly 301 Tactical good for home defense?

It checks the right boxes. The 18.5 inch barrel keeps the overall length around 38 inches for maneuvering indoors, the 5.8 pound weight makes it quick to shoulder, and the 4+1 capacity with fast pump cycling covers most defensive needs. The included Improved Cylinder choke is a solid pick for patterning buckshot at typical in-home distances.

Who makes the Charles Daly 301 and how does the finish hold up?

Charles Daly is a brand under Chiappa Firearms, and the 301 is built with an aluminum receiver and steel barrel. This version wears a nickel finish that resists corrosion better than plain blued steel and gives the gun a distinctive look. The synthetic furniture is weather resistant, so routine cleaning is about all the upkeep it asks for.
