5-round capacity

A 5-round tube strikes a balance between ready capacity and compact handling. For residence defense scenarios, it provides multiple follow-up shots while keeping the shotgun manageable for quick manipulations.

The Axeon optic mounted on the gun makes target acquisition faster than iron sights for many shooters, especially in low-light conditions. The selectable reticle color provides flexibility when transitioning between indoor and outdoor lighting.
