In college at Texas A&M, he earned three letters on the university's smallbore rifle and air rifle teams, and he served as captain of the team for two years. He began competitive shooting at the age of 10 in NRA-sanctioned smallbore rifle matches, earning various local and regional wins as a sub-junior shooter, including a state 4H championship. Todd Woodard has been editor of Gun Tests Magazine since 1998 and had previously been managing editor and a contributor for the magazine going back to 1992. Winchester SXP Marine Defender 512268395 12 Gauge The problem comes in if you need more than one shot and if there are multiple assailants. Our Team Said: The Iver Johnson goes to show that you may obtain an effective home-defense shotgun for a pittance, and by any standard have a reliable firearm that will produce an effective stop. The dispersion was the greatest of the test at 5 inches, limiting its use to short range. Results were not ideal, however, because the slug struck 2 inches low at 15 yards. The Winchester 2¾-inch ¾-ounce hollow-point slug did not demonstrate significant recoil. After firing 20 buckshot loads, we moved to slugs. The shotgun fired its buckshot load to the point of aim at 10 yards. We found the Iver Johnson is light and fast handling. The shotgun was held at the ready and brought to the shoulder quickly, cocking the hammer only as the front bead was brought on target. Instead, we used Winchester’s Super-X #3 buckshot load. During the firing test, we elected to forgo testing birdshot in the initial handling stage because 20-gauge recoil isn’t really a factor. The shotgun features a rebounding hammer, making it safe to carry loaded.

The “Choke Bore” choke is tighter than Modified if not a Full choke. The Iver Johnson isn’t difficult to cock to make ready. It is nice not to have to pick the shells out. The shotgun featured an automatic ejector, a good feature on an inexpensive shotgun. The barrel easily swung open when the opening lever was pressed. The shotgun was in excellent working order. As our test-team member pointed out, this $50 shotgun loaded with buckshot hits harder than any $2000 handgun for at least one shot. We included it because one of the raters felt that is a viable self-defense firearm if you’re in a tight budget or availability situation, as many people are these days. These old single-barrel hammer-fired shotguns generally bring $75 to $125, so we found a decent buy in this shotgun.
