The Remington V3 TAC-13 is a compact, personal defense shotgun designed for versatility and reliability, suitable for both home defense and outdoor adventures. It features a birdshead pistol grip that offers an ergonomic hold, aiding in control and recoil reduction. The shotgun is equipped with a user-adjustable hand strap to manage muzzle flip and enhance handling. Its lightweight aluminum receiver ensures easy and comfortable transport, while the 13" light contour barrel makes it highly portable. The V3 TAC-13 uses a gas-operated feeding system optimized for various loads, from light field loads to full-power buckshot and slugs. The patented VersaPort gas system self-regulates to offer manageable recoil in this compact firearm. The shotgun includes a three-position carrier system: in the first position, the carrier is in its standard feed mode with the magazine cutoff disengaged; in the second position, the magazine cutoff is engaged to prevent rounds from being fed from the magazine tube; and in the third position, the carrier is pushed up with the magazine cutoff engaged for easier loading of the magazine tube. These features make the V3 TAC-13 a reliable and adaptable option for personal defense.
