A New Smith & Wesson Shotgun: The S&W M&P 12

I very seldomly get excited about a shotgun, but I have to admit, this one is pretty darn cool! Alot of different gun manufacturers are going outside of their comfort zone and are doing different things and this new shotgun by Smith & Wesson is proof of that.

What I’m going to do, is place the specs of the S&W M&P 12 here, so that you can look them over for yourself and afterwards, make your own decision as to whether or not this shotgun is for you okay?
