The MAC 1014 Breacher from SDS Imports is a semi-automatic 12 gauge with an 18.5-inch threaded barrel, a 3-inch chamber and a 5+1 load. The furniture is a fixed black polymer pistol-grip stock and forend, pinned in place with a 14.25-inch length of pull, under a matte black anodized finish. Weight is 7.8 pounds and overall length 39.5 inches.

Sights are a ghost ring at the rear and a blade up front; the receiver is not cut for an optic, so the irons are the system. The barrel uses the Mobil choke pattern and comes with Improved Cylinder, Modified and Full tubes, which gives a New Jersey owner the option of a tighter pattern for clays or a cylinder-style spread for close work. Keep in mind the five-shell tube exceeds the three-shell limit the state sets for deer shotguns, so this one belongs in the range and home-defense column.
