Smith & Wesson shocked the firearms world earlier today when they announced the M&P12. The M&P12 is Smith & Wesson’s first bullpup shotgun. While an unexpected move, it’s surely one to catch the attention of certain shooters. Offering up to 14+1 shells in a compact package, this shotgun looks to bring S&W quality to the often chintzy bullpup shotgun market.
MSRP on the Smith & Wesson M&P12 is $1,165.00.
