Overview
The Chiappa Triple Threat is a compact triple-barrel break-action shotgun, the short-barreled home-defense variant of the Chiappa Triple Crown. Its three barrels are arranged in a triangular pattern (one on top, two below) and fire in a right-left-top sequence from a single non-selective mechanical-reset trigger. It has 18.5-inch barrels, a removable two-piece buttstock that shortens overall length for storage, a fiber-optic front sight, and Rem-Choke compatible interchangeable choke tubes. It is offered in 12 gauge, 20 gauge, and .410 bore.

Notes
18.5-inch barrels; 35.5 in (902 mm) overall length, shortened to roughly 27.75 in (705 mm) with the two-piece buttstock removed. Chambered for 3-inch magnum shells. Firing sequence: right, left, top. Ships with five Rem-Choke tubes (SK, IC, M, IM, F). Also offered with a walnut stock.
Background
The Triple Threat packs three loaded barrels into a compact home-defense package, letting the shooter fire three shots before reloading - a rare capability from a break-action shotgun and a shortened take on Chiappa's unusual triple-barrel platform.
