The Citadel Bosshog 20 Gauge shotgun (brand part no. FWH2020-I) is a gas-operated semi-auto built by Citadel for shooters who want a compact, no-nonsense 20 gauge for home defense or truck-gun duty. Its 20-inch barrel keeps the gun short and fast to swing indoors, while the 3-inch chamber lets it cycle standard and magnum 20 gauge loads without any adjustment. A black metal finish and black synthetic stock give it a tough, low-maintenance exterior that shrugs off range use and bad weather. Backed by a thumb safety and a bead front sight, it is built to be picked up and run with minimal fuss.

Key Specifications

• Chambered in 20 gauge with a 3-inch chamber, so it cycles both standard and magnum 20 gauge shells without adjustment.
• The 20-inch barrel keeps overall length short for fast handling in tight spaces.
• Feeds from a tubular magazine holding 4+1 rounds, giving five shots on tap before a reload.
• Ships with a five-piece choke tube set (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full) for patterning everything from home-defense loads to field loads.
• Cycles on a gas-operated semi-automatic action that softens felt recoil compared to a fixed-breech design.
• A bead front sight gives a fast, simple aiming reference for close-range work.
• The thumb safety sits within easy reach for quick, positive manipulation under stress.
• Finished in a durable black metal coating that resists wear on the receiver and barrel.
• Furnished with a black synthetic stock that stands up to recoil and rough handling better than wood.
