The Standard Manufacturing DP-12 delivers unprecedented firepower with its innovative double-barrel pump-action design that fires from both barrels alternately. This 12-gauge shotgun holds 14+2 rounds across dual magazine tubes, providing tactical users with sustained fire capability in a single platform.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional pump shotguns that rely on single-barrel operation, the DP-12 features twin 18.88-inch barrels that feed from independent magazine tubes. Each pump cycle chambers rounds in both barrels, allowing the shooter to fire twice before cycling the action again. The aluminum receiver reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity under rapid fire conditions.

- 14+2 round capacity across twin magazine tubes (7+1 per barrel)

The DP-12's unique operating system excels in close-quarters situations where rapid follow-up shots prove critical. Law enforcement and tactical operators benefit from the doubled first-round capability, while competitive shooters appreciate the reduced reload frequency during multi-target engagements. The aluminum construction withstands extended use while keeping overall weight manageable for dynamic shooting positions.
