The modern shooter who needs a reliable, lightweight semi-automatic for sport, field, or personal defense will appreciate a platform optimized for handling and consistency. Built as an upgrade to a proven design, this Compact model balances swing, recoil management, and controls tailored to smaller shooters.

WINCHESTER SX4 COMPACT blends an updated Super X4 platform with a shorter ergonomics package for tighter fits and quicker target transitions.

Overview

The WINCHESTER SX4 COMPACT is a gas-operated autoloading shotgun engineered for speed, reliability, and improved handling. It features a lightweight aluminum alloy receiver that reduces carry weight while maintaining structural strength. The Compact model reduces the length of pull to 13 inches and pairs a 24-inch chrome-plated barrel with a ventilated rib and fiber optic sight for fast, repeatable alignments.

Key Features and Field Benefits

Action and Reliability

The gas-operated system on the WINCHESTER SX4 COMPACT delivers faster cycling and smoother recoil impulse than many inertia designs, making follow-up shots quicker and less disruptive to sight picture. An enlarged bolt handle and release improve manipulation under stress or with gloves.

Sight and Choke Versatility

The chrome-plated barrel resists wear and fouling, while the ventilated rib and fiber optic sight enhance target acquisition in varied light. The barrel accepts Invector-Plus choke tubes and includes three tubes (F, M, IC) out of the box, giving immediate flexibility for patterning different loads and ranges.

Fit, Applications, and Price

Chambered in 12 Gauge, the WINCHESTER SX4 COMPACT is suitable for clay sports, upland game, and defensive roles where a compact, fast-handling shotgun is preferred. The shorter 13-inch length of pull and overall lighter feel make it an excellent choice for smaller-statured shooters or as a dedicated truck/home gun. Priced at $799.99, it targets shooters seeking factory-ready versatility without costly aftermarket changes.
