#PumpShotgun

Stoeger has added a new version of the P3000 pump shotgun to their Freedom Series, which is their second offering in the pump style shotguns.  The new P3000 Supreme shotgun has many added features over the Stoeger P3000 Defense model, including an adjustable, folding stock, ghost-ring sights, extended magazine tube and an optics mount on the receiver.  Stoeger explains that they’ve used a number of US-made parts to comply with the Federal code known as 922R, which means that it can be offered in its pictured state.

Former USMC and current LEO Jeremy Stafford recently completed a video blog for Mossberg that caught my attention. The video blog’s purpose is to illustrate how to use recoil to your advantage, specifically with pump shotguns. For the video Stafford used a Mossberg 500 Pump Action Tactical Shotgun. In order to make the concept clear he exaggerated his movements; the goal is to practice this method until your movements are fluid and uninterrupted.

We posted an image of this earlier this year. Apparently it is exclusive to Cheaper Than Dirt. According to Michael Bane’s article, the DP-12 MSRP is estimated to be $1k. They make some obvious remarks about the KSG and the UTS15. I hope to see this shotgun at SHOT SHOW 2015 in a couple months.  The DP-12 was designed to merge the best of a double barreled shotgun and a pump shotgun. So you have the capacity and loading of a pump. The most intriguing aspect is how the second barrel is fired.There is a single trigger. You press it to fire the right barrel and then you press it again to fire the left barrel.
