Description
There's a reason the break action single shot never goes out of style. Simple to operate, easy to maintain, and about as safe a platform as you can hand to someone learning the ropes. The TR Imports Sidekick takes that classic formula and adds the features most budget single shots skip. This one is chambered in 410 bore with a 3 inch chamber, wears a 24 inch barrel, and comes dressed in a camo synthetic stock that shrugs off weather and rough handling in the field.
What Sets the Sidekick 410 Apart
Most single shots in this class give you a fixed choke and a bead, and that's it. The Sidekick ships with three interchangeable Mobil-pattern choke tubes, improved cylinder, modified, and full, so you can tighten up for turkey and squirrels or open things up for close flushing birds and clays. Up top, a Picatinny rail sits on the receiver, ready for a red dot or small scope, and a fiber optic front sight makes target acquisition quick if you'd rather run it bare. The exposed hammer design gives you clear, positive control over when the gun is ready to fire, which is exactly what you want when teaching fundamentals.
Sized Right for Growing Hunters
The compact stock setup on this model offers a 13.5 inch to 14.5 inch length of pull, so it fits smaller-framed users comfortably now and still works as they grow. Pair that with the naturally soft recoil of the 410 and you have a gun that builds confidence instead of flinches. At just over five pounds, it carries all day in the squirrel woods or the turkey blind without wearing anybody out.
A Sidekick Worth Keeping Around
First gun for a new hunter, lightweight truck and trail companion, or a dedicated small game piece, this Sidekick covers a lot of ground for a single shot. The ambidextrous design works for lefties too, and the synthetic furniture means you never have to baby it. It's the kind of simple, useful shotgun that ends up getting passed down.

Frequently Asked Questions
What choke tubes come with the TR Imports Sidekick 410?
It ships with three interchangeable choke tubes: improved cylinder, modified, and full. They use the common Mobil thread pattern, so finding aftermarket options like an extended turkey choke down the road is easy. That flexibility is rare in this price class of single shots, where fixed chokes are the norm.
Is the Sidekick a good first shotgun for a young or new hunter?
It's one of the better options out there for exactly that. The break action design is simple and easy to supervise, the exposed hammer gives clear control over when the gun is cocked, and the 410 bore keeps recoil very mild. The compact 13.5 to 14.5 inch length of pull fits smaller frames without feeling like a toy.
Can I mount a red dot or scope on this shotgun?
Yes. The Sidekick comes standard with a Picatinny rail section on top of the receiver, so a compact red dot or small shotgun scope bolts right on with standard rings or mounts. If you prefer to keep it light and simple, the fiber optic front sight works well on its own.
Will the Sidekick 410 shoot 2.5 inch shells as well as 3 inch?
It will. The 3 inch chamber handles both 3 inch magnum loads and the shorter 2.5 inch shells. That lets you run light 2.5 inch loads for practice and small game, then step up to 3 inch shells when you need more payload for something like turkey hunting.
