 Yes, I know that they are both equal quality and are more or less from the same manufacturer. However, I'm not sure which one I should choose. The Double Eagle replicates the M1014, which is a bit long but has the ghost ring sights and top optic rail. The Bravo is shorter but doesn't have an optic rail or ghost ring sights, just pistol style sights. Which should I get?

First of all, for the Bravo-branded shotgun, which configuration is it?  Is it the pistol grip, the full stock with pistol grip, or the retractable stock with pistol grip?

Also, short barrel or long barrel version, for the Bravo?


Putting those aside, for further discussion, you're basically comparing the M1014 to the M3, two different shotguns.


The built-in optics rail and ghost ring sights are nice for the sighting on the M1014, and the retractable stock compensates for the long outer barrel and mock magazine tube.


For the M3, it comes in a few different configurations which is nice for options.  The short barrel and pistol grip configurations are nice for CQB as well.  I think it's also cheaper than the M1014.  Since it has small sights, they are less obstrusive if you don't use sights often in CQB.

I think alberty covered most of the differences in the two already. Both make the same model of each other, so there's really no difference in quality.

However, if you look elsewhere, you might find the UTG versions, which are rebranded but are usually newer and may have improvements.

It's possible over time that the materials might have been slightly improved, but performance hasn't changed noticeably or anything.  Additionally, the inner barrel length and spring power are the same regardless of your tri-shot's configuration, so just get whatever model you like.
