Standard MFG DP-12 12ga Pump Action Shotgun 18.875" Barrel Black - DP12CA

The Standard MFG DP-12 is a dual-barrel pump-action shotgun built for shooters who demand raw firepower and rugged reliability. At 18.875" barrel length, it's compact enough for close-quarters work—home defense, tactical training, or specialized applications—while the dual-tube design lets you deliver two rounds per trigger press from a single pump cycle. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum with a thermal-coated receiver, this 12-gauge repeater handles 2¾" and 3" shells and carries 12 rounds total (10 in the magazine tubes plus 2 in the chambers), with indicator windows so you always know your load status.

What sets the DP-12 apart is its engineering: the ambidextrous safety and pump-slide release mean lefties and righties work it equally fast, while the co-molded rubber pistol grip and composite forend absorb punishment without sacrificing control. The dual-spring recoil pad works overtime to manage the payload of a loaded shotgun, keeping you on target for the next shot. Spreader choke tubes on both barrels (Tru-Choke pattern) are included and engineered to print a devastating pattern at 25 yards—swap them as your mission changes.

Modularity is built in: two Picatinny rails (a 13.75-slot top rail and seven-slot bottom rail by the foregrip) let you mount optics, lights, or other accessories. The synthetic stock and accessory slots support standard MOE attachments. Unloaded weight runs 9 pounds 12 ounces, and the 29.5" overall length keeps it maneuverable.

This is a shotgun for shooters who understand the DP-12's niche and respect what it does—not for everyone, but exactly right if you need dual-fed, pump-action capacity in a compact platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ammunition does the DP-12 shoot?

The DP-12 is chambered for standard 12-gauge shotshells in both 2¾" and 3" lengths, so you can use common hunting, training, or defensive loads. Both barrels accept the included Tru-Choke spreader choke tubes, which you can swap to adjust your shot pattern.

How many rounds does it hold, and how fast can I shoot?

The DP-12 carries 12 rounds total: 10 in the magazine tubes and 2 in the chambers. The unique dual-barrel pump design allows you to fire two rounds per trigger press from a single pump stroke, giving you rapid follow-up capability. Magazine-tube indicator windows let you see your load status at a glance.

What accessories and rails does it support?

The DP-12 ships with two Picatinny rails: a 13.75-slot rail on top and a 7-slot rail on the bottom by the foregrip. These accept standard Picatinny-mount optics and lights. The composite forend includes slots compatible with MOE-pattern rails. Sling attachments are front-mounted and available on the stock.

Is the DP-12 suitable for left-handed shooters?

Yes. The ambidextrous safety and ambidextrous pump-slide release make the DP-12 equally functional for left- and right-handed shooters. The co-molded rubber grip and layout don't favor one side, so either hand operates the controls naturally.
