Tokarev TX3 Hammer 12ga 18.5" Pump Action Tactical Shotgun 4+1 - Blue/Black, 18.5" Barrel, 4+1 Rounds, Synthetic, 3" Chamber, Black Stock

The Tocarev TX3 Hammer is not to be confused with the tactical line of the tx3 series shotguns. This gun is a low cost aluminum framed hybrid with elements from both Mossberg and Remington as part of its design. It is well made in spite of its low price and dependable for basic use this is by no means a tactical type of shotgun. There were feeding problems with a MAG tube initially but this was due to a lack of a break in. After loading the magazine and storing the gun safely loaded the magazine begin to loosen up and allow for fast loading. The trigger has no take up but is a good solid trigger. Recoil is marginal. This gun does not accept aftermarket stocks although it is a facsimile of Mossberg stock designs. The butt pad is actually molded onto the stock to prevent removal of the butt pad and removal of the stock. The front sight is quite adequate and there is a dovetail Mount that allows you to put a 11 mm to 20 mm adapter rail on top of the receiver. (That accessory is available on eBay for less than $20.) Overall the gun performs well but is by no means of the grade or quality of either Mossberg or 870 products the light weight design gives the gun good balance with a good trigger the gun is responsive and reliable. If you're looking for a basic level shotgun for hunting and home defense this gun could fulfill the need for those on limited budgets.

I purchased this Tokarev TX3 completely on a whim based on how cheap it was and how good all of the previous reviews were. I haven't had a chance to get it to the range yet, but the design and construction of this shotgun are very solid. It feels like a much more expensive 12 gauge, to be honest. I even showed it off to a few friends who own pricey Benelli's and Mossberg's and they were impressed as well. Again, I can't yet review the performance, but strictly based on the feel and fit & finish, I have no doubt this shotgun will perform just fine.

Very happy with the quality and price. It has a nice feel and is easy to handle/load. Sold to me as factory new but delivered without a box, I assume something happened during shipping as I was informed a new lable was created during shipping. The product is absolutely brand new. Shipped fast.

I purchased this weapon due to excellent price, Tokarev's history of quality, and good service history of ordering from Bud's This gun arrived in a short time...and was immediately field tested - which it passed with flying colors! This is an excellent, low-priced element to any home defense plan. I would highly recommend this shotgun for anyone who wants quality and reliability at a reasonable price.

It arrived today, it looks good quality, but it came without the original box and was broken. The box was not well protected, but it looks good. I hope to shoot it soon and see.
