SDS Imports 12GA M12AA Bullpup Semi-Auto Shotgun

I was looking for an inexpensive semi-auto shotgun, and found many options in a bullpup configuration... it's hard to know which one will end up being reliable, or even functional, but I pulled the trigger on the BLP M12AA, and am I ever glad I did! This shotgun is an absolute bargin, coming with four chokes, diassembly tool, vertical foregrip, one 5-round magazine, and (cheap) flip-up sights. In hand, it feels a bit on the heavy side, but shooting full-house 00 buck (2 3/4 shells loaded with 1 1/8oz @ 1300+ fps), you'll be thankful for every ounce. Manageable, but stout recoil! Using 1oz loads @ 1200fps, the M12AA is a pussycat. I have yet to try light loads, so I can't comment on functionality of anything under 1 oz/1200fps, but if they feed, recoil will be like shooting a 9mm carbine (which is to say, negligible). I picked up a bunch of Panzer 10-round magazines, which fit perfectly, and helped get through break-in which saw a couple of FTFs, but 50 rounds later, it was running like a champ. This wasn't my first bullpup, but was my first BP shotgun, and I found a shoulder hold hard to manage, especially wearing earmuff hearing protectors (difficult to get aligned with the sights), but hip hold demonstrates the M12AA's natural point-shoot capability, especially with a firm hold on the foregrip. It's hard to imagine a better semi-auto scattergun for the money, and I recommend this one without hesitiation! I have no affiliation with this website, the manufacturer or importer, and haven't received anything for this review. Just a guy providing a little help to my fellow shooters.

I've only had it out once and fired everything I had from slugs,buck to target loads and it performed better that the one I saw reviewed on you tube.
