Standard Manufacturing Dp12 12Ga 18.5 Blk Works Package #2

The Standard Manufacturing DP-12 12 gauge shotgun is a dual-barrel pump-action design that delivers serious firepower in a compact tactical package. Built from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum with a thermal-coated receiver, this 18.5" defense shotgun feeds two rounds per trigger pull from independent magazine tubes, cycling through a total capacity of 16 rounds (14 in tubes plus 2 in chambers). It's engineered for shooters who prioritize reliability and rapid follow-up shots in high-stress scenarios—home defense, professional security, or competition environments where speed and redundancy matter.

The Works Package #2 transforms the DP-12 into a fully configured tactical platform right out of the box. You get a red dot reflex sight, 45° offset flip-up backups, a high riser block, MOE rail segments, a two-point tactical sling, pressure-switch-activated flashlight, green laser module, and door-breaching chokes. This accessory suite removes the guesswork from setup and gets you running immediately. Assembly of some components is required, but the included instruction booklet walks you through it. The shotgun also ships with a choke tube wrench and heavy-duty lock for security and maintenance.

Ergonomics are central to the design: ambidextrous safety and pump-slide release accommodate both right and left-handed shooters, co-molded rubber grips reduce fatigue, and a dual-spring recoil pad absorbs felt impulse despite the gun's punch. The synthetic stock and composite forend keep weight at 9 lbs 12 oz unloaded—manageable for extended handling. Spreader choke tubes installed in both barrels concentrate shot pattern at close range (25 yards), ideal for dynamic shooting. Two Picatinny rails (a 7-slot bottom run near the foregrip and a 13-slot top run) plus integrated slots give you the platform to dial in exactly what you need.
