The MTM SG28 Swivel Short Gun is a compact, pro-level pressure washer gun - built for smoother control, cleaner transitions, and reduced hand fatigue.
The MTM SG28 isn’t just your average pressure washer gun, it’s built for serious detailers chasing precision, better ergonomics, and long-term reliability.
At the core of this unit is MTM’s trusted Easy-Hold trigger assembly. It’s smooth, boasts low resistance, and is far less fatiguing than standard guns, especially over long wash sessions. The valve system has been cycle tested to last, delivering consistent shutoff and flow control without premature wear or internal binding. And the best part? This version features an integrated live swivel, which rotates even under pressure to keep your hose from twisting or coiling mid-use, a massive quality of life boost that becomes addictive fast.
Internally, this gun is all brass, no plastic valves or mixed metal compromises. From the inlet block to the core valving, every critical component is solid brass, giving it the strength to withstand high pressures, temperature spikes, and repeated use without blowing seals or developing fatigue fractures.
Rated to 280 bar (4,060 PSI) and 45 L/min, it’s more than capable of handling everything from compact enthusiast setups to commercial-grade systems. Whether you’re pairing it with an AR, Kranzle, or anything in between, the SG28 fits right in. The short profile makes it ideal for wheel arches, side skirts, or tight garage spaces where longer lances feel clumsy. Add a stubby lance or foam cannon and you’ve got one of the cleanest, tightest setups going. The pre fitted 1/4" quick connect adapters also give you the best freedom and flexibility when using accessories.
If you're sick of bulky guns, fighting your hose, or just want something that feels more purpose-built, the SG28 is a serious upgrade.

Built In Live Swivel
Hose fighting back? The integrated brass swivel rotates freely under pressure, preventing coil-up and making your entire wash process smoother. You’ll feel the difference every time you move around the vehicle, no more dragging or twisting.

Full Brass Internals
No plastic. No shortcuts. The SG28 uses solid brass internals for long-term durability, pressure resistance, and thermal stability. This means no cheap seals blowing out and no worrying about degradation over time. Something you'd expect from an Italian-made short gun.

Compact, Stubby Design
The short body layout gives you tighter control around low sections, wheels and hard to reach spots. It’s agile, efficient and perfect for pairing with foam cannons or quick connect lances, built for detailers who move fast and wash smart.

Rated for Serious Pressure
With a max working pressure of 280 bar (4,060 PSI) and 45 L/min (12 GPM) flow capacity, the SG28 is built to handle powerful setups with ease. Whether you're running a compact AR unit or a full commercial system, this gun won't be your weak point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about the MTM SG28? Here are some of the most common questions we get asked by detailers and enthusiasts about to upgrade their pressure washer
Why would I upgrade to a short pressure washer gun?
Upgrading your pressure washer gun can make washing your car more comfortable and controlled compared to the long, unwieldy trigger guns that come stock with pressure washers. The shorter design gives you better manoeuvrability around your vehicle, making it easier to reach mirrors, wheels and other tight areas, while reducing fatigue during thorough washes.
Short guns are also more effective with pressure washer accessories like foam cannons and lances. This makes them a popular upgrade for both enthusiasts and professional detailers looking for a more ergonomic and efficient wash process.
Will a short pressure washer gun work with my pressure washer?
In most cases, yes. Our short guns are designed to work with a wide range of pressure washers. To ensure our short guns are compatible with your pressure washer you have to get the correct adaptor or fitting to connect your new gun to your machine. Many short guns use standard quick connect fittings, making it easy to attach accessories like foam cannons and spray nozzles.
If your pressure washer uses a proprietary connection (like Karcher or Gerni models), you may simply need the correct adaptor to make everything compatible. Check out our kits, these come with the adaptor options included to make purchasing your new gun a breeze.
Do I need any adapters or fittings to install a short trigger gun?
Often, you will. Most aftermarket premium short guns are designed around a standardised quick connect fitting. This allows for easy attachment of accessories like foam cannons, lances and nozzles.
Many pressure washers come with proprietary hose connections, so you may need to purchase a specific adaptor to connect our short guns to your hose and/or machine. Once the correct adaptor is installed, the setup becomes more versatile, easier to operate and allows you to swap attachments swiftly using the quick connect system.
What makes MTM pressure washer guns different from standard trigger guns?
MTM pressure washer short guns are widely regarded as professional standard upgrades compared to the generic, plastic trigger guns supplied with many pressure washers.
- MTM short guns are built with high quality materials, nickel-plated brass internals and stainless steel fittings.
- The materials are extremely durable, chemically resistant, and give the gun a solid, well-balanced feel during use.
- This construction allows them to handle higher pressures, last longer under regular use and deliver a solid, precise feel when washing your vehicle.
Overall, the construction makes MTM short guns a durable upgrade that can improve both the comfort and performance of your pressure washer setup.
