Mossberg Silver Reserve Eventide HS12: Cut-Down Double-Barrel For Home Defense
Mossberg is expanding its double-barrel shotgun lineup—this time, they’re aiming at the home defense market. The new Mossberg Silver Reserve Eventide HS12 is a cut-down over-under that will serve multiple purposes but make no make mistake. This shotgun was built primarily for the home security market.
Mossberg @ TFB:
Mossberg released a whole host of Silver Reserve Eventide shotguns earlier this year, but those were all longer-barreled over-unders that were obviously intended for hunting use. The Silver Reserve Eventide HS12 comes with barrels chopped at 18.5 inches and has no provision for installing screw-in chokes. The muzzles aren’t threaded; both barrels are cylinder bore, with 3-inch chambers.
The break-action design and the shorter barrels mean the gun is very compact and easy to manage inside a building, with an overall length of 36 inches. But with a weight of just under 7 pounds and a fixed breech action, you’ll feel the gun’s recoil for sure, if you’re feeding it a diet of heavy magnum buckshot or slugs.
Here’s what the Mossberg website says about the new shotgun:
Silver Reserve Eventide break-action shotguns feature synthetic stocks and forends, shell extractors, chrome-lined barrels and bores, and dual-locking lugs for durability and a multitude of applications including sporting, hunting, and personal protection.
The asking price in the U.S. is $770, which is a lot for a security shotgun with only two shots. However, some users may prefer the simplicity of the break-action design, and in some markets, this may be the only kind of shotgun that a buyer can legally own.
