Good afternoon from Tennessee Valley Guns. Today I would like to introduce you to the latest addition to our inventory. The Heckler & Koch Mark 23! This is a legendary .45 ACP pistol developed for USSOCOM in the 1990s as the world's first purpose-built "offensive" handgun system. Engineered to serve as a primary weapon for elite units like the Navy SEALs, its greatest strengths lie in its match-grade accuracy and indestructible durability. The Mark 23 easily passed brutal military torture tests—including 96 hours of saltwater submersion and extreme temperature exposure—while maintaining an unprecedented service life of over 30,000 rounds. The Mark 23 remains unmatched in its ability to fire high-pressure +P ammunition reliably under the absolute worst environmental conditions on Earth. Check out the Mark 23 online at www.tennesseevalleyguns.com, or see it at our store in Bradyville, TN were the Second Amendment is always on display!

🔫 12 Gauge vs 20 Gauge vs 28 Gauge – Which Shotgun Gauge Is Right for You?

One of the most common questions from new and experienced shooters alike is: “What’s the best shotgun gauge?”

The truth is, there isn’t a single “best” gauge—only the best gauge for your needs.

✅ 12 Gauge
• Maximum power and versatility
• Huge range of ammunition options
• Ideal for waterfowl, turkey, hunting, and home defence
⚠️ More recoil and typically heavier fi****ms

✅ 20 Gauge
• Excellent balance of power and comfort
• Less recoil than a 12 gauge
• Great all-round option for most shooters
⚠️ Slightly less payload and range than a 12 gauge

✅ 28 Gauge
• Light recoil and lightweight shotguns
• Fantastic for upland game and clay shooting
• Ideal for youth and recoil-sensitive shooters
⚠️ More limited ammunition choices and less power

Whether you’re chasing ducks, busting clays, introducing a young shooter to the sport, or simply looking for the perfect all-round shotgun, understanding the strengths and limitations of each gauge can help you make the right choice.
