Standard Manufacturing double-barreled DP-12 Professional for duty.

Editor’s Take:

For some, the double-barreled DP-12 answers a question that no one ever asked. For the more open-minded, you get a shotgun platform delivering a 14+2-round overall capacity in a tactical design. Loaded full, this type of firearm presents some heft. But it presents a bullpup design to maintain that weight in a manageable package. With an overall length under 30 inches, the design excels coming out of squad cars or working corners. With this latest iteration, Standard Manufacturing appears committed to this interesting take on the tactical/defensive shotgun.
