When selecting a compact defensive shotgun for home security, balance, reliability, and price all matter. A short-barrel pump shotgun built for close-quarters handling can deliver those qualities when chosen carefully and inspected for condition and function.

CHARLES DALY HONCHO TACTICAL is a used pump-action shotgun with a 14-inch barrel and a 5-shell capacity. This example is in good condition with some wear evident on the receiver, magazine tube, and barrel, and it comes with the original box. At $275.99, it represents a budget-conscious option for someone seeking a compact defensive platform from the Charles Daly family of firearms, model listed as Various.

Design and handling

The 14-inch barrel makes the CHARLES DALY HONCHO TACTICAL highly maneuverable indoors — ideal for tight hallways and stairwells. A 5-shell tube gives a balance between capacity and compactness; it keeps weight forward of the receiver but still provides multiple follow-up shots without reloading. The pump-action design is mechanically simple and reliable in adverse conditions, which is why many defensive users trust this configuration.

Wear and maintenance considerations

This used unit shows visible wear on the receiver, magazine tube, and barrel. That wear is cosmetic in most cases but should be addressed: inspect the locking system, slide rails, and magazine spring for function. A gunsmith inspection is recommended prior to regular use. The included original box is helpful for transport and resale documentation.
