Stoeger’s Double Defense over/under shotgun
is a straightforward, rugged and reliable home defense shotgun. Ideal
for use in tight quarters and tense situations, the Stoeger Double
Defense with its traditional break-action and short, efficient design is
easy to load and quick to deploy in an emergency.
A
double-barrel shotgun has been the defensive firearm of choice for
generations, but Stoeger has added practical, up-to-date features to the
“tried-and-true” double gun. The Double Defense is chambered for 2-3/4-
and 3-inch shells. The tactical-length
20-inch barrels feature fixed, improved cylinder chokes. The
fast, single-trigger design and convenient, tang-mounted automatic
safety makes the Stoeger Double Defense ideal for home security use.
The Double Defense gun is outfitted with a green, fiber-optic front sight and comes standard with two Picatinny Rail accessory mounts. All metal surfaces are finished in matte blue and come complete with non-reflective matte black synthetic stock and forearm.

As far as the shotgun: it’s $420! It’s made in Brazil under the Stoeger name. There’s not a very high bar set for that price for a shotgun BUT it does carry a better brand name, so it should be a bit better fit finish. Hard to break open. Second barrel wouldn’t fire. Lever to lock/release barrels didn’t close all the way. Couldn’t load/unload bottom barrel without opening/pulling barrels down to fully open position.
And most disappointing was the hollow plastic(they call it synthetic) stock that comes on it when the description says wood!
But after a few hours of sanding/polishing it works very nice. I also filled the stock with epoxy which adds weight, gets rid of the hollow stock, and will make for a lower felt recoil.
Bottom line: it’s a $400 gun. Buy it, put the time in on finishing it. And it will serve its purpose.
Also: I’m SUPER glad I waited on this gun to come in at this price. I would be VERY upset if I had paid the $700 the local gun stores wanted for the side by side version.
Worth the $400 and a few hours of work to get it running right.
NOT worth the $700 the local dealers were asking.
PAY for the BUDS membership, get on the email list to notify you when it comes in stock, BUY it.
This gets 3 stars because although it is far better than the Chinese side by side coach gun I own, but thats not saying much, and also because of the long list of things that required modification to get it to function properly, let alone to open/close smoother.
Easy to afford (paid $427.45/nice price Bud).
Easy to operate (no pump short shucking or semi-auto jamming),
Easy to arm - accepts 2 3/4 and 3 inch bird, buck and slug shells.
Easy to clean.
TactiCOOL.
Please note there is "confusion" regarding the wood vs. synthetic stock. Mine came in a synthetic stock.
Ordered at 7PM on Monday before Thanksgiving, Arrived at FFL dealer the following Monday morning. Great jobs Bud!
Would loved to have given this 12 ga a full 5 stars but there are a few quirks (most mentioned by other reviewers) that I wanted to share:
- - - Assembly Instructions were nearly useless. Turned out to be a piece of cake but I was ignorant to this style of shotgun, at first. This caused the forward assembly to get marred up until I wised up and realized I should just get on YouTube and have a gander. It really is quite dirty inside, upon arrival. Looks like it had been in a dirty coal mine for a couple days (but cleaned right up fairly easy). Those who found it hard to break open are not alone -- hoping in breaks-in more over time! Lastly, the Top Pica-tinny Rail blocks the front sight and causes it to shoot about 18-20 inches too high. Would need to change sights, remove rail or get an optic with enough adjustment to compensate. Thats it though -- none of which can deter us from enjoying the heck out of this thing. Its a really nice shotgun overall. I would buy it again and I recommend it fully (despite the few "temporary" shortcomings mentioned above).

A:yes it can fire slugs with no issues you will find that you get the best accuracy with Foster type (rifled ) slugs which are made to be shot in a smoothbore unlike Sabot slugs which are made for rifled barrels. it is not unusual for double barrel guns (SXS and O/U) barrels to shoot to different points of aim with slugs -

A:Stoeger O/U's are made in Brazil, Vursan in Turkey makes the Stoeger semis and pumps, except for the barrels. The barrels are made in Italy by Beretta and shipped to Turkey for final assembly.
Vursan also makes the inertia actions for the Beretta/Benelli/Franchi shotguns and ships them to Italy for final assembly. The actions are very much alike but not interchangable. For example, the Stoeger is a rough finished action that functions as well as the more polished Benelli action. The Franchi I-12 has the same action as the Stoeger but one or two of the specs are changed so that they can't swap out. Other than that, they are basically the same action. -
