No pump is faster than today’s Winchester Model 1300. And
there’s no pump shotgun with more modern advantages. The 1300
has an overall design that is uniquely durable, drawing on nearly a
century of Winchester firearms pump shotgun experience.
The Model 1300 is a gun for these times. It stands comparison
with every other slide action on the market past and present. The
reasons are many, but avid slide gunners know that the big advan-
tage of a 1300 is speed. A 1300 is so fast, we like to think of it as
the “Speed Pump.”
In more ways than one it’s “the pump that thinks it’s a semi-auto.”
Here’s why: a fraction of a second after you pull the trigger and fire
a 1300, the lugs of the ultra-strong rotary bolt begin disengaging
from the barrel extension. Recoil forces still present in the gun
then assist the slide rearward. You can feel the slight rearward
force on the forearm as you shoot, which makes it much easier to
begin your pumping action. And you’ll find that you will complete
the pumping action forward quickly and without conscious effort.
In a brief instant you’ve cycled a shell and are ready for a second
shot. Speed like this makes a big difference allowing you to set up
for a second shot more quickly and concentrate on your target —
not just on pumping.
With the 1300’s rotary bolt design, the lugs engage directly in the
lug recesses in the barrel extension. This is an unusually strong,
consistent and reliable lockup design used on many military
firearms.
Every design feature works together to make what many consider
the most reliable pump shotgun on the market today.
