CONROE, TEXAS – -(AmmoLand.com)- It’s the shotshell round that’s caught the attention of shooters worldwide – the original Aguila Minishell. The popular shotshell load has been in such high demand since its launch in 2015 that within hours of arrival in retail locations nationwide, it’s out of stock.
Aguila Minishell
Texas Armament & Technology (TxAT) and Aguila Ammunition are pleased to announce the Aguila Minishell is not only back on shelves, but the company has produced more minshells in the past year alone than what was produced since inception. The ever-popular round is readily available in Buckshot and Slug and on store shelves now. 7.5 shot will also be available in the coming weeks.
“Our facilities in Cuernavaca, MX, turned their focus to our Minishell line so our supply was able to catch up to the demand,” states John Domolky, Director of Sales for TxAT/Aguila Ammo. “With an increase in our production to run 24/7, our very patient customers will now be satisfied customers.”
“We handled the Minishell demand very much how we managed the rimfire demand in 2013-2014. Because Aguila Ammunition and our production facility, Tecnos, have the means to change and increase manufacturing capabilities, we were the rimfire manufacturer that stayed ahead of the rimfire demand. We should now be able to maintain the same stay-ahead with the Minishell,” continued Domolky.
Aguila Ammunition is the sole manufacturer of the Minishell, a shotshell in the 1¾” size. Not only does the tiny shell pack a solid punch, but also offers no recoil and less noise; something that all shooters can benefit from, especially new and youth shooters.
The Aguila Minishell can be found in your local Brownell’s, Academy Sports + Outdoors, Cabela’s, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Midway USA, Gander Outdoors, Turner’s Outdoorsman, Dunham’s Sports, Rural King and other locations nationwide.

I think you’re going to see more ammo producers making these mini shells. There is obviously a market for them. That’s great because it should drive down prices.
The Aguila mini shells are now facing a competitor….Challenger out of Canada/France. Minishells were not that popular until OPSol Texas introduced the Mini-Clip. This adapter (now improved as the Flex to handle longer mini reloads), allows Mossberg 500 (Mav 88, 590A1, Shockwave) shotguns to effectively run almost all 1.75″ shotshells on the market. This is why Aguila ramped up production. Hopefully, more American companies will start producing 1.75″ and the prices will drop. According to their website, the mini-clip was developed so low recoil users, particularly women, can effectively wield a shotgun, and enjoy going to the range, as well… Read more »
If you support the second ammendment be pleased with anything that is pro gun. If you don’t, grab your pink vag hat and latte waddle out to your Yugo and shut the f— up.
Was hunting for these for my home defense shotgun. But Aguila ssys they won’t function in a Rem 870.
First of all, there’s no such thing as NO recoil, as the article states. The recoil is significantly less than standard 2-3/4″ shells. BTW, Fiocchi 2-3/4″ shells are almost as tame as the Aguila mini shells. Fiocchi doesn’t call them “reduced recoil” but I found them to be even slightly less than the Remington “Reduced Recoil” shells. These have become hugely popular and very hard to find because of the popularity of the Shockwave and TAC-14. I’m glad to hear they’re ramping up production and I’d be even happier if 1 or 2 other manufacturers would start to offer them.… Read more »
This whole article is pure unadulterated BS!
I was at the NRA Meetings in Dallas on May 5th.
I SAW an ACTUAL box of Minishells at the Aguila booth.
I SPOKE with their representative who TOLD me there would be IN STOCK in 2WKS. an ample supply at Academy Sports.
IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!
I went to SEVERAL Academy Sports stores in the Ft. Worth/Dallas market and was greeted with, “Minishells?!, what’s a Minishell?. NEVER HEARD OF ‘EM.”
AND THEY STILL DON’T HAVE ANY!!!
