Featuring a rugged 20-inch chrome-lined barrel and a 3-inch magnum chamber, the PAT 12 is engineered to cycle everything from light target loads to high-velocity defensive buckshot with unrelenting consistency.

Additionally, the lower forend features a secondary rail section, making it effortless to mount tactical lights or vertical grips without the need for aftermarket adapters.

The Citadel PAT 12 is built on a lightweight yet durable aluminum alloy receiver, finished in a non-reflective matte black to withstand the rigors of field use. The ergonomic pistol grip and synthetic stock provide a stable platform for managing 12-gauge recoil, while the ventilated buttpad ensures comfort during extended range sessions.
