You may remember someone once saying “buy a shotgun”… You may not have grown up around firearms, or maybe you did… Regardless, you most likely heard about your grandpa or your neighbor having a pump action shotgun for home defense. This may be the only gun you ever knew of for home defense, a tried and true, reliable platform that still carries its weight nearly 130 years after its introduction.
The M&P12 may not be the initially recognizable shotgun you think of, but its features far surpass those of the basic pump action market. With typical shotgun barrels of 26”+, these aren’t always the most maneuverable firearms in tight quarters. With home defense in mind, the M&P12 maximizes maneuverability with a bullpup design and 19” barrels.
Adding enjoyability for shooting at the range, the M&P12 is fed by two magazine tubes, each with a capacity of 7 2 3⁄4“ shells. Load it up with bird shot, buck shot, slugs, 3” or mini shells, the reliable pump action will cycle time and time again.
With the M&P12 there’s no reason to not be prepared. Attach the optics, sights and accessories that best suit your needs to the picatinny rail or the M-LOK® slots. With endless options and configurations to choose from, it’s easy to see how the M&P12 is the easy choice for your home protection shotgun.
