The Tokarev TX3 12MA1 12 gauge pump shotgun (Tokarev part no. 21000421) is a nickel-finished tactical-style gun for home defense, training and range use. The Tokarev TX3 platform pairs an 18.5-inch chrome-lined barrel and a ventilated heat shield with a dual-action-bar pump action. An adjustable ghost-ring rear sight and a fiber-optic front sight give a clear sight picture, and the receiver is cut and drilled for optics. Its polymer stock and forearm are compatible with Mossberg 500 and 590 furniture. It holds five rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber.
