SDS Imports has announced it will be bringing two more Tokarev shotguns into the US, thanks to the success of the previous import. The two new shotguns are the lighter-recoil 20-gauge pump-action shotguns, the TX3 20HDA1 and the TX3 20HDMA1.
The two shotguns are both 20-gauge, as stated above, and both utilize the beautiful Turkish walnut forend and buttstock with a thick rubber recoil pad. Constructed on CNC machines and featuring aluminum receivers, the 20HDA1 is anodized with a matte blue finish on the chrome-lined barrel and the 20HDMA1 has a 41040 chromoly-steel finish. These shotguns boast a lighter-felt recoil and are said to be equally suited for home and self-defense as much as out in the field for hunting.
SDS Imports has announced the import of two new Tokarev 20-gauge shotguns to the US. The TX3 HDA1 shotgun, shown above, is one of those shotguns. Featuring a non-luster, matte blue finish, the shotgun comes with three chokes from the factory and is compatible with Benelli pattern chokes.

The shotgun has an adjustable ghost-ring mounted on a Picatinny rail, that also comes in handy for mounting any additional optics. The TX3 20HDMA1 has an 18.5” 4140 chromoly steel barrel, and with the receiver, has been bead-blasted before the electroless nickel plating was applied, helping protect the parts from corrosion and rust.
Both shotguns have threaded barrels with a unique and ventilated head shield and will accept Benelli choke pattern tubes. The shotguns come from the factory with three choke tubes: Cylinder, Modified, and Full. With the right choke tubes, the shotguns can fire slugs and steel shots in addition to the lead shot.
The other new 20-gauge shotgun that SDS is bringing in is the TX3 HDMA1 shotgun. This shotgun features a nickel coating on the exposed metal and the same lovely Turkish walnut forend and buttstock. Both shotguns have a fiber-optic front sight and rear ghost right on the Picatinny rail.

Also in the assembly is the action release if a loaded shell ever needs to be removed from the barrel. The tubular magazine allows for four 3″ or five 2.75” shells to be loaded, with a magazine extension available to owners.
The TX3 20HDA1 and the TX3 20HDMA1 have an overall length of 38.25” and weigh just under 17 pounds. The TX3 20HDA1 20-gauge shotgun has an MSRP of $329.99 and TX3 20HDMA1 20-gauge shotgun has an MSRP of $339.99.
Patti Miller is one of the most awesome females in the tactical/firearm (or any) industry. Imagine a tall, hawt, dangerous Laura Ingalls Wilder type with cool hair and a suppressed blaster and you'll be getting the idea. What's interesting is that in addition to being a willing brawler and intrepid adventuress, she's also an Ent/Ogier level gardener and a truly badass baker.
