Tokarev USA 21000421 TX3 12MA1 12 Gauge Pump 3" 5+1 Shells 18.50" Nickel Anodized Ventilated Heat Shield Barrel, Nickel Anodized Receiver w/Picatinny Rail, Fixed Black Polymer Stock

The Tokarev USA TX3 12MA1 is a pump-action 12-gauge shotgun built for home defense and tactical use, with a compact 18.5" barrel and nickel-anodized finish that resists corrosion and presents a professional appearance. This 3" chamber shotgun holds 5+1 rounds and comes equipped with an adjustable ghost-ring rear sight and fiber-optic front sight, so you're ready to aim before you leave the counter. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Picatinny rail mounting, giving you straightforward options to add optics, lights, or other modern accessories without gunsmithing.

Built on a platform that accepts Mossberg 500/590 furniture, the TX3 gives you plenty of aftermarket parts availability for stocks, foregrips, and other upgrades. The ventilated heat shield barrel keeps your hands safe during extended shooting, and the nickel-anodized receiver and barrel hold up well in the field or in less-than-ideal storage conditions. A fixed black polymer stock and foregrip keep weight down—unloaded, the gun sits at 6.77 lbs—and offer solid control from the shoulder.

The barrel is threaded for Benelli/Mobil choke tubes, and you'll get a three-choke set (Cylinder, Modified, Full) plus a wrench in the box. Whether you're setting up a home-defense gun, running drills at the range, or training new shooters, the TX3's straightforward pump action, sighting options, and rail-ready receiver make it a practical choice. The adjustable rear sight lets you dial in your zero, and the fiber-optic front draws your eye to target fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sights come on the TX3, and can I add a red dot or scope?

The TX3 ships with an adjustable ghost-ring rear sight and fiber-optic front sight for fast target acquisition in daylight or low light. The receiver is drilled, tapped, and fitted with a Picatinny rail, so you can mount a red-dot, reflex sight, or low-power optic without any modification. The rail is ready to go out of the box.

Will Mossberg 500/590 parts fit the TX3?

Yes. The TX3 is built to accept Mossberg 500/590 furniture, meaning you can swap stocks, foregrips, and other compatible components to customize the gun to your needs. This also means a huge selection of aftermarket upgrades is available.

What choke tubes come with the shotgun?

The TX3 includes a three-choke set—Cylinder, Modified, and Full—plus a choke wrench. The barrel is threaded for Benelli/Mobil choke tubes, so you can buy additional options separately if you need different constrictions.

Is the TX3 suitable for home defense, and how does it handle?

The 18.5" barrel and compact 38" overall length make the TX3 maneuverable in tight spaces, and the 5+1 capacity gives you a solid round count for home defense. At 6.77 lbs unloaded, it's light enough to handle for extended periods. The adjustable ghost-ring rear sight and fiber-optic front aid rapid target acquisition, and the Picatinny rail lets you add a weapon light if desired.
