For tactical shooters who appreciate refined control and traditional balance, a hand-crafted over/under can deliver both pointability and durability. The right shotgun blends fit, finish, and mechanical reliability into a single package that performs in training, field trials, and defensive scenarios.

CZ Drake Southpaw is built specifically for left-handed shooters and combines Old World craftsmanship with modern CNC precision. The action is CNC-milled and hand-engraved, fitted to a Turkish walnut stock, and finished in gloss black metal. This 12 gauge model features a 28″ chrome-lined barrel and ships with a set of five interchangeable chokes, giving shooters a wide patterning envelope for close to mid-range engagements.

Precision build and controls

The Drake is built on a one-piece CNCed receiver with a single selectable trigger and a robust extractor. The single selectable trigger simplifies operation under stress — you can choose which barrel fires first without adding complexity to the handling. The mid-rib delete and cast-on design for left-handed shooters improve sight plane and ergonomics for southpaws, while the gloss black finish resists corrosion and reduces glare.

Barrel, choke, and patterning versatility

Chrome-lined barrel and interchangeable chokes

The 28″ chrome-lined barrel supports longevity and easier maintenance, especially when running a mix of target and defense loads. Five interchangeable chokes allow precise tuning of shot patterns from cylinder to full; that flexibility is valuable when transitioning between close-range defensive applications and longer-range pattern work. For tactical shooters who want consistent patterns and simple field maintenance, these features are practical and performance-driven.

CZ’s reputation for quality actions and fit is evident in the Drake construction. The Turkish walnut stock provides a traditional look and solid contact points, while CNC milling ensures repeatable tolerances across the action and barrel fit. Priced at $752.99, the Drake Southpaw offers a compelling balance of craftsmanship and value. View product details and pricing
