Chiappa Firearms 1887 Chia 930.000 12 22

The Chiappa Firearms 1887 12-gauge lever-action shotgun brings a classic lever gun experience to the shotgun platform. This 22-inch barreled, matte black steel receiver with walnut furniture is built on the proven 1887 design—a modern interpretation of Winchester's legendary lever-action shotgun legacy. Whether you're a cowboy action shooter, upland hunter, or someone drawn to the distinctive handling and mechanical simplicity of a lever gun, the 1887 delivers reliable, hands-on shotgunning with real character.

The 1887 chambers standard 2.75-inch ammunition and holds 5 rounds in the magazine plus 2 in the receiver for a practical 7-round total capacity. Chiappa engineered an internal safety mechanism that prevents the firing pin from striking the primer until the breech block is fully closed—a thoughtful detail that prioritizes safe operation. The solid lever design is smooth and intuitive, and the receiver has been optimized for reliable ejection of spent hulls.

This hunting-oriented variant comes with three interchangeable chokes in the box, giving you flexibility to dial in the right pattern for your game. At 9 pounds and 39 inches overall, it's handy enough to carry through brush and timber while maintaining the balance and pointability lever-action fans appreciate. The walnut stock provides a warm, traditional grip, and the matte black finish cuts glare without fussy maintenance.

If you've always wanted to experience a shotgun as a true mechanical tool—one where you control the action with your hands and feel every round cycle through the gun—the Chiappa 1887 is a genuine alternative to pump and semi-auto designs.
