Description
There aren't many guns that stop people in their tracks at the counter, but the Charles Daly Honcho Triple is one of them. It stacks three 18.5 inch blued steel barrels into a compact break-open .410, and a single non-selective mechanical trigger fires them in a right, top, left sequence. No pumping, no cycling, no waiting on anything mechanical between shots. Just press the trigger again and the next barrel is ready to go.
What Makes the Honcho Triple Different
The 3 inch chambers also run 2.5 inch shells, so everything from light target loads to modern .410 defensive ammo is on the table. Break it open, drop in three shells, snap it shut, and you're loaded. Extraction is manual, which keeps the action simple and about as reliable as a hinge can be. A tang-mounted manual safety, fixed brass bead front sight, and a Picatinny rail under the bottom barrel round out the practical stuff, with that rail being a natural spot for a light if this is going to live by the nightstand.
Compact Size, Real Wood
Charles Daly fitted this one with a checkered walnut pistol grip and forend wearing a black soft-touch coating, so you get the feel of real wood with a grippy, weather-friendly finish over it. At roughly 27 inches overall and in the neighborhood of 5.3 pounds, it tucks into tight spaces a full-size shotgun never could, and the mild recoil of the .410 keeps it manageable from the pistol grip.
Where the Honcho Triple .410 Fits
This is a natural pick for home defense, a truck or camp companion, or a pest gun around the property. It also happens to be a genuine conversation piece, because triple barrel guns just don't come along every day. Simple to run, easy to store, and unlike anything else in the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the trigger work on the Charles Daly Honcho Triple?
It uses a single non-selective trigger with a mechanical reset. Each pull fires one barrel in a set right, top, left sequence, so you get three shots as fast as you can press the trigger. Because the reset is mechanical rather than recoil-driven, a light load won't keep the next barrel from firing.
What ammo can the Honcho Triple .410 shoot?
The chambers are cut for 3 inch .410 shells and will also handle 2.5 inch shells without any issue. That opens up everything from birdshot and target loads to buckshot and purpose-built .410 defensive rounds. The barrels are fixed cylinder bore, so patterns open up quickly, which suits close-range use.
Does the Honcho Triple eject empty shells automatically?
No, it uses manual extraction. When you break the action open, the extractor lifts the hulls enough to pluck them out by hand. It's a simple, sturdy setup with very little that can go wrong, though reloads are a bit slower than with an auto-ejecting gun.
Can I mount a light or laser on the Charles Daly Honcho Triple?
Yes. There's a Picatinny rail mounted under the bottom barrel that accepts standard rail-mount lights and lasers. That's a big plus for a compact gun like this, since a weapon light pairs naturally with how most people intend to use it.
