Visually it looks cool but it's made out of melted down scrap metal and produced by people with sub 90 IQ's.

That is just Turkish firearms in general where LOOKS are everything and material quality is a very distanced concern.

I hope these run well for people.....

Maybe that’s true, I’ve had a few Turkneli now just to try the taste, there’s no mistaking they’re not the real deal, but they always functioned for me.

To be honest I almost prefer cheap Turkish stuff in these interim years, I don’t want to have a ton of money tied up in more high end guns that may or may not be banned in 6 months. If it works, it’s cool, it’s affordable, AND it scares the crap out of Natalie and Gary, I’m all for it. Better than the entire industry packing it in and giving up.

One day we’ll have nice things again. Or we’ll have nothing at all.

No it’s not based on the TAC-12 Benelli M3 (Not M4) clone, the TAC-12 M3 clone is a dual mode semi and pump shotgun that uses the inertia system just like the real Benelli M3, this SPAS-12 clone is gas piston operated. I thought the same “Is this just a re-dressed TAC-12?” as well at first.

Ah K, so this is not using the 'Super 90 M3' {clone} receiver then..? My 1st thought was that. That M90 is only 20" barrel, so this is 1.5" inch longer.
As per like the original SPAS is 21.5" Nice they kept it true, but I prefer shorter barrels on pistol gripped shot guns. : P Def. am buying one!
I actually had, like 20+ years ago, the SAS pump only, looked like a regular shotgun, but with that same kool metal folding stock.

We were the architects for this entire endeavor. US Distributors work on a net 90, where manufacturers have to front the inventory and then wait for payment. We fronted the full development costs in 2024 and despite all of the hardships with the bans and nearly going under, would not let this thing out until it was right. The original design had a plastic heatshield and different handguard, was hideous. We saw the potential, took that and made it into what it was today. The gen 1 seen above was someone at Sulun deciding to start production before we finalized the design, and we flatly refused to accept for all of the obvious reasons. It should also be noted that our MSRP is significantly lower then those selling in the USA...

Despite any criticisms i may have expressed in the past, i want to say that you guys are by far the best company for bringing innovative, new, interesting, and unique firearms to the Canadian market. The SPAS-12, M3, and Micro especially.
 
Had one in my basket and decided not to get it after seeing a video of one slipping from semi to pump while firing it. That was an American version of it ,sound like these are more refined. Would love to get some feedback on these at the range. Enjoy should be fun

From what I understand sulan dumped the prototype model or gen 1 onto the american market last year which is why they were substandard

Thank you for sharing this information.

Dealing with Sulun for years was not a very pleasant experience when they go and make changes without telling people anything and then send you a shipment that is NOT what you specified.

At least I got to ridicule them directly to their faces at Shot Show instead of dealing with a prick over the phone. :)

Stay awesome Tactical Imports.
