Are you looking for a home-defense shotgun? Experts will tell you that you need to focus on reliability, ease of use, maneuverability and magazine capacity. The new DP-12 Double-Barrel Pump-Action Bullpup from Standard Manufacturing Company checks every one of those boxes...and how. Chris Olsen from American Rifleman walks you through just how this unusual, innovative double-barreled shotgun can bring you an intuitive shooting experience. The gun holds up to 14 rounds of 2 3/4-inch 12-gauge shells, but still weighs only 10 pounds and checks in at a petite 29 1/2-inch total length...perfect for maneuvering through tight corners. Is this the perfect home-defense scattergun for you? Watch this video and see!
