Panzer Arms AR12 G5 12 GA 18.5" 5rd FDE Long Handguard Shotgun

The AR12 G5 in flat dark earth with the long handguard runs an 18.5 inch barrel and holds five rounds. Panzer Arms lays the gun out like an AR-15, which means the safety, the grip and the stock all sit where a rifle shooter's hands already go, and the self loading action cycles 12 gauge shells without a pump stroke.

Going with the longer handguard buys real estate. Lights, forward grips and sling hardware mount closer to the muzzle, and the support hand can extend for better control of a gun that produces the recoil a 12 gauge produces. The flat dark earth finish separates it from the black guns on the rack without going all the way to a camouflage pattern, and it wears the scuffs of regular use better than a dark finish does. Five rounds in the magazine is enough for a defensive gun and enough for a round of informal clays, and the self loading action leaves the shooter with nothing to think about except the sights.
