Semi-Automatic

Semi-automatic shotguns have a rich history that revolutionized the world of shotgun shooting. Allcocks Outdoor Store proudly stocks a variety of semi-automatic shotguns from renowned brands, offering shooters exceptional quality and performance.

The concept of a self-loading shotgun dates back to the late 19th century, with several inventors working on designs to improve the manual operation of shotguns. However, it was not until the early 20th century that semi-automatic shotguns gained significant popularity.

One of the most influential pioneers in semi-automatic shotgun development was John Moses Browning. In 1900, Browning patented the first successful semi-automatic shotgun design, known as the Browning Auto-5. This iconic shotgun featured a long-recoil action, where the barrel and bolt remained locked together during recoil. As the barrel moved back, it ejected the spent shell and then returned forward, loading a fresh shell from the magazine tube.

The Browning Auto-5 set the stage for other manufacturers to enter the market with their own semi-automatic shotgun designs. Over the years, various brands have made significant contributions to the development and improvement of semi-automatic shotguns. Today, Allcocks Outdoor Store stocks a range of semi-automatic shotguns from renowned brands such as Beretta, Benelli, Remington, and Winchester.

Beretta, a renowned Italian firearms manufacturer, has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality semi-automatic shotguns. Their semi-automatic models, like the Beretta A400 and Beretta 1301, feature advanced gas-operated systems that ensure reliable cycling and reduced recoil.

Benelli, another Italian brand, is known for its inertia-driven semi-automatic shotguns. The Benelli Super Black Eagle and Benelli M2 are popular choices among hunters and competitive shooters, offering fast and reliable cycling even in adverse conditions.

Remington, an American firearms manufacturer, has made its mark with the Remington 1100 and Remington Versa Max semi-automatic shotguns. These models incorporate innovative features such as gas systems and adjustable recoil systems, delivering excellent performance and versatility.
