For shooters who demand a lightweight, fast-handling over-and-under that transitions cleanly between range work and defensive readiness, the right balance of materials and features makes all the difference. A shotgun that reduces fatigue, offers reliable extraction, and provides adjustable shot patterns is a tactical asset both on the range and in a home-defense context.

STEVENS 555 delivers a competitive mix of value and capability. Its light aluminum receiver is scaled to gauge and strengthened with a steel insert at the breech to minimize weight while maximizing structural integrity. The package includes an Imperial walnut stock and fore-end, an auto shell ejector for rapid reloads, laser-engraved filigree ornamentation on the receiver, and five interchangeable chokes for pattern control. Standard controls include a tang-mounted manual safety and a single selective mechanical trigger; barrels are chrome-lined for longevity and corrosion resistance. Finish: WALNUT/BLACK. Price: $860.99.

Build and durability

The aluminum receiver keeps overall weight down without sacrificing strength thanks to the steel breech insert—this matters when carrying the gun for extended drills or clearing multiple rooms. Chrome-lined barrels resist wear and require less maintenance after exposure to hot loads or humid conditions. The laser-engraved filigree is more than cosmetic: it reflects a level of finish and attention to detail usually found on higher-priced releases.

Handling and controls

Ergonomics are centered on practical, repeatable operation. The single selective mechanical trigger allows you to choose barrel order, and the tang-mounted manual safety is intuitive under stress. The auto shell ejector speeds follow-up loading when transitioning from training to defensive drills. Five interchangeable chokes broaden the shotgun’s role—from tighter patterns for defensive penetration to wider patterns for clay or close-range sport work.
