How can you have a home-defense shotgun without a door-breaching accessory? Well if your into that, Beretta’s new Tx4 Storm semi-automatic shotgun may be just what you need. The Tx4 is chambered for 2 ¾ or 3-inch magnum 12-gauge shells. It holds five in the tube and one in the chamber. The 18-inch barrel has a new Optima Bore HP Choke System that accepts a nasty, six-point breaching attachment that can double as a face jabber in close quarter situations.

The soft rubber coating on the stock and fore-end make it easy to grip. The gas-operated Tx4 handles easily even in rapid-fire mode. It also has a Picatinny rail for attaching sights or optics. The new Tx4 retails for about $1,450.
