When it comes to the stalwart shotgun, changes often come gradually. It's a proven defensive platform, so those that make their bread-and-butter from shotguns are sometimes reluctant to deviate from a winning strategy. For 2020, though, a few manufacturers have changed the paradigm, shaking up their standard offerings with improvements or - in some cases - brand-new lines entirely.
