There's a reason the 20 gauge SXP Defender keeps ending up in the hands of folks who want a serious pump gun without the shoulder abuse of a 12 gauge. At 6 pounds 4 ounces with an 18 inch barrel and 38.5 inch overall length, this thing swings quick, stores easy, and points naturally. The 3 inch chamber gives you room to run heavier loads when you want them, and the 5+1 tube keeps plenty on tap. Winchester wrapped the whole gun, barrel, receiver, and composite stock, in a Flat Dark Earth Perma-Cote finish that shrugs off weather and looks sharp doing it.
The SXP's inertia-assisted slide action is the headline feature here. Recoil energy helps start the slide rearward, so follow-up shots come noticeably faster than with a typical pump. Dual action bars keep the stroke smooth without binding, and the rotary bolt locks up tight. The hard chrome plated chamber and bore add corrosion resistance and make cleanup less of a chore, which matters on a gun meant to ride in the truck or sit ready at home.
Unlike a lot of fixed-choke defensive shotguns, this barrel is threaded for the Invector-Plus system and ships with a flush cylinder choke tube. That means you can pattern buckshot wide for close work, run Foster slugs accurately, or screw in a tighter tube and chase small game or turkey with the same gun. Up front you get a brass bead plus a removable TRUGLO fiber optic sight, and the aluminum alloy receiver comes drilled and tapped if you'd rather mount an optic. Sling swivel studs and an Inflex recoil pad round out the package.
This one makes a lot of sense for smaller-framed users, new shotgunners, or anyone who wants a lighter, softer-shooting defensive gun that still hits with authority. The 13.75 inch length of pull suits a wide range of builds, and the mild recoil means practice sessions stay fun instead of punishing. It's a versatile, well-built pump at a working-gun price point.
It's a strong choice. Twenty gauge buckshot delivers plenty of stopping power at across-the-room distances while producing far less recoil than a 12 gauge, which means faster follow-up shots and more comfortable practice. The short 18 inch barrel and 6.25 pound weight also make it easy to maneuver in tight spaces.
Yes, and that's a big plus over most defensive pumps with fixed cylinder bores. The barrel is threaded for Winchester's Invector-Plus system and ships with a flush cylinder tube installed. Swap in tighter chokes and this gun pulls double duty for small game, turkey, or clays.
The aluminum alloy receiver comes drilled and tapped for a scope base, so adding a rail for a red dot or other optic is straightforward. Out of the box you get a brass bead front sight plus a removable TRUGLO fiber optic sight, which is plenty for most defensive and field use.
The 3 inch chamber runs both 2.75 inch and 3 inch 20 gauge shells, from light target loads to buckshot and magnum hunting loads. The open cylinder choke patterns buckshot well at defensive distances and shoots Foster-type rifled slugs accurately. The hard chrome plated chamber and bore hold up well to high round counts and rough conditions.
