I like, however, a few touches added that make the TS-12 special. First, chokes are available. Most defensive shotguns come with the cylinder bore and that\u2019s all. The TS-12 will accept a variety of Beretta and Benelli chokes, the exact models unknown at this time.<\/p>\n<p>So if you need to for sport or to extend the range of your shotgun, you can go all the way up to a full choke. Second, the trigger is good and the safety is intuitive. Third, the top features an integrated Picatinny rail, so it is ready for your favorite red dot. Fourth, there are loading ports on both sides of the gun, and most of the controls are ambidextrous or reversible. You are welcome lefties.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wLU9JHl3l4g\" width=\"850\" height=\"505\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_85129\" style=\"width: 492px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85129\" title=\"Clay Shoots IWI Shotgun TS-12 16-Round Bullpup 12 Gauge \u2013 SHOT Show 2018\" class=\" wp-image-85129\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IWITS12.png\" alt=\"TS12 Shotgun\" width=\"482\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IWITS12.png 555w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IWITS12-150x66.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IWITS12-400x176.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-85129\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The TS12.

Why? Because the TS-12 uses rotating tubes, three to be exact, for a total capacity of 15+1. A lever inside the trigger guard is depressed, then the tubes must be manually rotated. But from bolt lock, the first round is automatically chambered after the tube is rotated into position. It is a pretty cool setup.<\/p>\n<p>The gun looks space age, and heavy due to its thickness, but, in use, you will find it surprisingly light. Loaded, the gun balances and offers a lot of firepower in a small package. If you are looking for a high capacity semi-auto shotgun, this one should be on your radar.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about IWI, click <a href=\"https:\/\/iwi.us\" campaign=\"IWI\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To purchase an IWI gun on GunsAmerica, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?Keyword=IWI\" campaign=\"IWIGA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, you read that correctly.
