Smith & Wesson is announcing the M&P12, a dual-tube 12-gauge pump shotgun. (Photo: S&W<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Smith & Wesson is moving in a new direction with the just-announced M&P12<\/a>, a twin-tube magazine bullpup 12-gauge pump shotgun. The M&P12 is chambered for up to 3-inch shells including minishells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new M&P12 packs in a lot of features, which is going to be key for Smith & Wesson because it is entering a crowded and highly competitive market. While the M&P brand is one of the best in the industry, Smith & Wesson is squaring off against some of the biggest names in the gun industry, with a lot of loyal customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Smith & Wesson has a long, storied history of making handguns for self-defense, yet no conversation around personal protection can be complete without mentioning the 12 gauge shotgun,” said Smith & Wesson Vice President Kyle Tengwall. “With the introduction of the new M&P12, Smith & Wesson is able to offer our consumers a personal protection product in a variety of categories: pistol, revolver, rifle, and shotgun.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Today, we\u2019re excited to unveil the M&P12,” Tengwall said, “a new category introduction for Smith & Wesson, and a firearm that\u2019s purpose-built for protection and a blast to shoot at the range.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is designed to run a wide range of shell lengths. (Photo: S&W<\/em>) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The M&P12 is a fully ambidextrous bullpup shotgun, with an ar-style ambi safety selector and an ambi action-lock lever just in front of the trigger guard. The magazine tubes are selectable, allowing shooters to both carry more ammunition as well as different kinds of ammunition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it is a pump-action shotgun, the kind of ammunition used won’t affect the shotgun’s reliability. It doesn’t need any tuning to run a range of shells from low-recoil buckshot to full-power slugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, each tube has a loading and unloading assist lever. The magazine tubes run flush with the 19-inch barrel and each have a 7-round capacity when loaded with standard 2.75-inch shells, or 6 with 3-inch magnums. The barrel is threaded for Remington-pattern chokes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The M&P12 has a top-mounted Picatinny rail for optics and iron sights and the ventilated barrel shroud has Magpul M-Lok slots for other accessories like offset lights. The forend has a serrated scallop texture in addition to a full-size pistol foregrip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recoil shouldn’t be too harsh thanks to the chunky rubber buttpad and an unloaded weight of a little over 8 pounds. The fixed stock has a reciprocating action cover that can be used to clear jams, and it provides a set of quick-detach sling points at the rear. Despite the weight, it’s definitely compact with an overall length of just under 28 inches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shotgun comes standard with Smith & Wesson’s modular M&P pistol grip that comes with four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts. It also ships with additional chokes, a choke wrench and a cable lock in a hard, foam-lined carry case. The MSRP is $1,165. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Smith & Wesson has, in the past, offered shotguns, mostly contracted through other manufacturers, the company is best known for rifles and handguns. The M&P12 looks promising, but it’s going to face off with some of the best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
