The KOFS Cavalry SX from American Tactical is an engraved .410 over-under at 5.75 pounds and 43.5 inches overall. Its 26-inch barrels are blued 4140 chrome moly steel, chrome-plated both inside the bores and on the outer surfaces, with 3-inch chambers. One selective trigger serves both barrels and the manual safety on the tang works from either side. The stock is Turkish walnut, checkered and oil finished, with a 14.25-inch length of pull, and a brass bead sits at the muzzle.

Five choke tubes come with it, running from Cylinder and Improved Cylinder through Modified and Improved Modified up to Full, so the pattern can be tightened or opened for upland birds or recreational shooting without changing guns. At under six pounds with two shots it is an easy gun to carry all day. Connecticut's private-land deer rules name 12, 16 and 20 gauge shotguns rather than the .410, so treat this as an upland and clays gun rather than a November deer gun.
