The Chiappa Triple Crown is a family of Italian-made triple-barrel, break-action shotguns, chambered in 12-gauge, 20-gauge, 28-gauge, and .410 bore. The barrels have a triangular arrangement with one on top and two below. This gives the Triple Crown a single-barrel sight picture.

Triple Crown

[edit]

The Triple Crown shotguns are triple-barrel, break-action shotguns, chambered in 12-, 20-, 28-gauge, and .410 bore.[1][2] The 12-, 20-gauge, and .410 bore models will accept 3-inch magnum shells and the 28-gauge model will accept 2-3/4-inch shells. The 12-gauge model has 28-inch barrels, while all of the other models have 26-inch barrels.[3] The barrels have a triangular arrangement with one on top and two below. This gives the Triple Crown a single-barrel sight picture. The barrels accept standard Rem-Choke style choke tubes and it comes with 5 choke tubes ranging from Improved Cylinder to Full Choke.[4] It uses a single trigger and has a manual safety on the tang behind the action lever. The Triple Crown may be disassembled for ease of storage.

Triple Threat

[edit]

The Triple Threat shotguns are the shorter 18-½-inch models chambered in both 12-, 20-gauge, and .410-bore 3-inch magnums.[5][6] They feature a unique two-piece removable butt-stock design allowing them to be shortened to an overall length of 27-¾ inches.[7]

Triple Threat BLK

[edit]

The Triple Threat BLK comes in a 12-gauge 3-inch chamber only. It features Picatinny rails on the top barrel and below the bottom barrels.[8] This allows for this model to use a wide range of optical sights and tac-lights. It also features black plastic furniture. However, unlike the basic model, the BLK uses a standard butt-stock that cannot be shortened.
