Charles Daly Triple Threat 20 Gauge Triple Barrel Shotgun 18.5″ Walnut

Description

A triple barrel shotgun tends to stop people mid-stride at the counter, and the Triple Threat earns the second look. Charles Daly took the three barrel concept from its Triple Crown line, trimmed the barrels down to 18.5 inches, and built a break action that delivers three rounds of 20 gauge with no pump to run and no action to cycle. Crack it open, drop in three shells up to 3 inches, and everything else is pure mechanics.

How the Triple Threat Runs

The single non-selective trigger fires the barrels in a fixed sequence: right, left, then top. Because the trigger resets mechanically rather than relying on recoil, it works through all three barrels consistently even with lighter loads. There is no barrel selector to fiddle with under pressure, just three pulls and three shots. A top tang manual safety sits right under your thumb where break action guns have always put it, and an extractor lifts the spent hulls clear so reloads go quickly.

Walnut Stock, Two Configurations

The hand-oiled checkered walnut stock and forend look like they belong on a gun that costs more, and the two-piece buttstock design is the clever part. Pull it off with the included wrench and you are left with a checkered pistol grip, which shrinks an already compact 35.5 inch shotgun down for storage in a truck, cabin, or pack. At 7.2 pounds, the gun soaks up 20 gauge recoil well in either setup.

Chokes, Sights, and the Rest

All three barrels are threaded for Rem Choke pattern tubes, and the MC-5 set covers Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full, so you can tighten or open patterns to match the job. A ventilated rib carries a fiber optic front sight that picks up light fast, and a fitted hard case comes in the box. It is a conversation piece that pulls its weight, whether that means home protection, a camp gun, or the most interesting thing on the skeet field that day.
