The Charles Daly Triple Honcho is a 12 gauge triple-barrel break-open shotgun (Charles Daly part no. 930.170) built around three stacked barrels instead of the usual two, giving it three shots before a reload. Its short 18.5-inch barrels and matte blued finish suit close-range defensive or utility use, and a brass bead front sight keeps the sight picture simple. As a standard Title I shotgun, it still transfers through a normal FFL like any other shotgun.
