The over/under shotgun remains a benchmark for reliability, balance, and intuitive handling for both defensive and range-focused shooters. A firearm that blends mechanical precision with durable materials is essential when performance under pressure matters.

BROWNING CITORI CX exemplifies that blend. The Citori features an extreme level of craftsmanship that leads to dependable function, impeccable looks, championship performance and respect. Its convenient barrel selector allows the shooter to choose which barrel fires on the first pull of the single trigger, and the second pull fires the remaining barrel. The automatic ejectors eject fired shells when the breech is opened and elevate unfired shells for easy removal. The Citori utilizes a transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt that engages a full-width tapered recess in the rear barrel lugs. The hinge pin extends from one side of the receiver to the other for maximum strength. Chrome-plated chambers resist the toll thousands of shells can take on lesser quality guns. Shop this product

Design and Mechanics

The Citori CX’s transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt and full-width tapered recess deliver long-term durability and consistent lock-up—a significant advantage for shooters who demand repeatable patterns and pointability. The extended hinge pin adds robustness to the action, reducing wear and maintaining headspace under heavy use. Chrome-plated chambers provide corrosion and wear resistance, preserving feeding and extraction over thousands of rounds.

Trigger, Selector, and Ejectors

The single-trigger system with a barrel selector offers tactical flexibility: choose the striking pattern you prefer for close-range first shots or save a specific choke/load for follow-up. Automatic ejectors speed reloads in training or emergency transitions by ejecting fired hulls while elevating live rounds for easy removal.
