Winchester SXP Defender | 20ga 18in | MFG# 512252695

The Winchester SXP Defender is a 20-gauge pump-action shotgun built around Winchester’s Super X Pump design. It pairs an 18-inch matte-black steel barrel with a fixed synthetic stock and textured grip panels for predictable handling. The action is designed for fast follow-up shots with a tubular magazine and a 3-inch chamber to accommodate common 20-gauge loads. Typical applications include field use and multi-gun competition where a compact, fast-handling shotgun is preferred.
