Professional Model
The Standard Model incorporates the features many of our owners want most in their defensive shotguns, in a value-packed package. The 18” cylinder-bore barrel with 3” magnum chamber will handle your ammunition of choice – and the included magazine extension tube offers increased capacity for a total of 7 rounds. We include an extra-power heavy-duty stainless magazine spring for sure shell feeding in any situation, and a high-visibility, non-binding follower to indicate an empty-magazine tube at a glance. The Standard Model also includes your choice of a four or six round receiver-mounted Sidesaddle shell carrier – in a critical re-load situation your extra ammo is quickly available in a no fumbling, load-by-feel manner
This one is fitted with an optional Knoxx SpecOps Stock. The fore-grip includes a 6-volt SureFire Tactical Light with 11,000 candlepower – more than enough to assess and react to a combat situation regardless of darkness.
Other included features include a Jumbo-head safety, multi-purpose tactical sling, buttstock sling swivel and a rigid magazine tube front sling mount.

Many owners find our Standard Model fits their purposes just as we offer it, but as always, we can custom build one to your specifications.
All models come in a high quality nylon range bag
The Border Patrol Style
The Border Patrol Model has an outstanding, well-earned reputation as the workhorse of Wilson Combat’s shotguns. The US Border Patrol uses thousands for daily service, in some of the harshest conditions a firearm may encounter. Unqualified quality and relentless reliability are the minimum requirements demanded of a firearm for their expectations for years.
The Border Patrol Model is fitted with synthetic butt stock and fore-grip. We offer a standard buttstock length, with an optional shorter buttstock – or your choice of an optional Knoxx SpecOps Stock or AR collapsible stock.
Other included features include a Jumbo-head safety, multi-purpose tactical sling, buttstock sling swivel and a rigid magazine tube front sling mount. Our adjustable TRAK-LOCK® Ghost Ring rear sight is paired with a ramp-type front sight with a tritium self-luminous insert for fast and accurate aiming
Wilson Combat’s® finishes the Border Patrol Model with our extreme-conditions tested Armor-Tuff® - proven around the world as the toughest and most durable practical finish for all environments.
12 gauge is standard for the Border Patrol Model, but we can build it for you in 20 gauge if that is your choice. Whichever meets your needs, the Border Patrol Model is mission-ready and offers complete reliability for the best-value in today’s market.
Special Note; Green guns look better than black guns
