Product Description

This Defender is THE Defender. It can handle buckshot or rifled slugs efficiently through the fully chrome plated, 18” fixed cylinder choked barrel (no constriction) for wide patterning. This open choke is also very accurate when using Foster-type slugs. It also has non-glare metal surfaces with a tough composite stock and forearm. Additional features include a five-shot magazine (plus one in the chamber), and a positive, deeply grooved forearm for control and stability. Whether it’s multi-gun competition or protecting your home and family, the Super X Pump Defender is the perfect choice. Its inertia-assisted action, six-shell total ammo capacity, durable composite stock and ribbed forearm give you an edge against any odds.

  • Firearm Features
  • SYNTHETIC STOCK WITH TEXTURED GRIPPING SURFACES gives your hands a sure, non-slip grip and the non-glare matte black finish won’t give away your position
  • TACTICAL RIBBED FOREARM for better control when you need it most
  • HARD CHROME-PLATED CHAMBER AND BORE make these surfaces highly resistant to wear and corrosion
  • FIXED CYLINDER CHOKE barrel handles both slugs and buckshot
  • ALLOY RECEIVER is drilled and tapped for scope bases
  • TRADITIONAL BRASS BEAD FRONT SIGHT offers a fast, natural sight picture
  • ROTARY BOLT with four massive lugs provides strength and solid lockup
  • DROP-OUT TRIGGER GROUP allows easy cleaning
  • CROSSBOLT SAFETY is easily operated, even with gloves
  • BLACK CHROME PROTECTION on the bolt and other components lasts longer than traditional bluing
  • INFLEX TECHNOLOGY RECOIL PAD directs felt recoil down and away from your cheek to reduce flinch and fatigue

(4 out of 5) Good value. LOP too long for defensive ahotgun
by Steve from Spotsylvania, VA on April 25, 2024

Good value for price. Lightweight. Appears to have a nice long forcing cone. Pattern's fine with 2 or 3 buck. However, length of pull is 14 inches. Way too long for defensive applications. I’m 5’11”. Only “fix” was to replace rear stock with OEM wooden stock from Numrich ($52) that was a good inch shorter. Just an inch less, but greatly improved mounting and handling.

(5 out of 5) Great Product and Superior Service
by Robert from Parowan, UT on December 26, 2024

Ordered late at night on the 18th, and FedEx delivered to my FFL early on the 24th! Merry Christmas Hohoho!! 

Fantastic service from SOSS during the holiday rush. I even canceled an order because I wanted to add a sling. Although the sling didn’t arrive with the firearm at the FFL, after reaching out and calling SOSS, they’re sending another one to me! I’ve been a longtime customer for a reason, SOSS is THE best! 

With the rebate from Winchester, you can’t go wrong buying an SXP Defender. I was surprised by the kick it had! Glad I chose the 20 GA for this ol’ boy! lol
