Sauer SL-5 Defender Semi-Auto 12 Gauge Shotgun

In the realm of competitive shooting, where precision and reliability are paramount, J.P. Sauer & Sohn introduces a formidable contender: the SL-5 semi-automatic shotgun. Tailored for 3-Gun enthusiasts, this firearm embodies what every competitor seeks—compactness, lightweight maneuverability, and unwavering accuracy.

At its core lies an inertia-driven system renowned for its simplicity and effectiveness. Chambered in 12 Gauge with a capacity to handle 3-inch shells, it ensures that each shot is delivered with consistent power and speed. The SL-5 features an 18.5-inch chrome-lined barrel equipped with a stepped rib design—a hallmark of durability and enhanced sight alignment.

This model comes meticulously engineered to include both Benelli CRIO PLUS chokes: one flush cylinder choke for versatile performance straight out of the box and one extended choke for those moments demanding refined precision.

The black synthetic stock complements the pistol grip configuration perfectly, offering shooters superior control during rapid engagements or precise targeting maneuvers. Sling attachments provide practical utility while on the move across varied terrains or competition stages.

Further enhancing its tactical versatility is an integrated Picatinny rail atop a robust black anodized receiver—ready to accommodate optics or other accessories as dictated by your operational needs. An LPA front bead sight offers quick target acquisition under diverse lighting conditions.

Ergonomics have not been overlooked; an extended bolt handle coupled with an enlarged release button ensures seamless operation even under stress or adverse conditions.

With a magazine capacity of three rounds plus one in the chamber (3+1), this shotgun strikes a balance between firepower availability and weight distribution—a crucial factor when milliseconds can define victory.
