Your Questions Answered
Is the Tac-14 considered a shotgun or a firearm?
The Tac-14 is classified by the ATF as a “Firearm,” not a “Shotgun,” due to its overall length and lack of a shoulder stock. This is a federal designation. It is still subject to all standard firearm purchase procedures through an FFL.
What ammunition is recommended?
We recommend standard 2 3/4″ 12-gauge shells. Due to the compact size and grip, lighter target or low-recoil buckshot loads are often easier to manage for extended practice sessions. Always consult your owner’s manual.
Can a pistol brace be attached?
Laws regarding stabilizing braces are subject to change. As of this listing, you must consult current ATF rulings and ensure any modification is compliant with federal and state law. We advise confirming the legal status before modifying any firearm.
