Special Features
- The full length barrel heat shield on the Winchester SXP Trench 12 Gauge (512418395) is drawn directly from military and law enforcement trench gun tradition, protecting the forward hand from barrel heat during rapid or sustained fire while giving the shotgun its iconic tactical silhouette.
- Hard chrome plated chamber and bore provide superior corrosion and wear resistance compared to traditional blued or matte finished barrels, ensuring the SXP Trench holds up to heavy use, field exposure, and humid storage conditions.
- The black chrome protection finish on the bolt and metal components outlasts traditional bluing and provides a consistent non-glare matte appearance across the entire shotgun.
- A four lug rotary bolt delivers a tight, solid lockup on every shot, and the drop out trigger group removes as a single unit for cleaning without tools, keeping maintenance fast and simple.
- The alloy receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, allowing a shooter to mount a red dot or optic for slug work without permanent modification.
- Extended ribbed corn cob forend provides a secure, positive grip during fast pump cycling and connects this model visually to the classic WWI and WWII era trench guns that inspired the design.

- Fixed cylinder bore also makes this shotgun an accurate choice for Foster type rifled slugs, giving it real versatility for deer hunting, property defense, or situations where both buckshot and slug capability are needed from one gun.
- The extended ribbed corn cob forend gives shooters a positive, comfortable grip during fast pump cycling, which matters during high stress defensive situations or rapid fire competition stages.
- Crossbolt safety operates easily with gloved hands, making the SXP Trench practical for cold weather hunting, tactical use, or any situation where fine motor control may be limited.
- Classic hardwood stock with satin finish and checkering gives this shotgun timeless aesthetics that appeal to buyers who want a working defensive or field gun that looks the part without synthetic materials.
- Inflex Technology recoil pad and drop out trigger group make the SXP Trench comfortable to shoot during extended practice sessions and easy to maintain after high round count range days.
