The Chiappa Honcho in 12 gauge (brand part no. 930.439) is a pump-action platform built around an 18.5-inch barrel with a walnut birds-head grip in place of a shoulder stock, which places it in the ATF’s standard firearm classification rather than the shotgun category. Chiappa Firearms finishes this Honcho in traditional walnut furniture for a classic look on a compact, close-range platform. Among pump-action shotguns, this Honcho favors shooters who want classic wood styling on a compact 12 gauge, purchased through a standard FFL transfer like any other firearm.
