New Smith and Wesson Bullpup SG The SW MP 12

Copied the KSG and made it worse.

Loading firearm is nearly impossible, the loading port is undersized and the "load assist" buttons are a failure waiting to happen that can dump entire mag tube if pressed too far instead of partially.
Pump fore end shape will promote short strokes if anything goes between the spear point of the pump and the receiver, as well as between the rear of the pump grip and front of receiver. TIMESTAMP 5:39 (slings/ect)
Pump fore end has lots of screws that can be lost, bad design.
Pump fore end is too thick like Fischer Price made it.
Magazine tube selector button in a very unnatural position, should be reachable by trigger finger and is a snag hazard that may be pressed causing unintended switching of what magazine tube firearm is being fed from.

For the record I've shot the UTAS UTS15 and Keltec KSG's a whole bunch.....this S&W is #### to put it simply.

A real shame Covid ruined going to ShotShow this year I would have loved to make fools of S&W in person demonstrating all these failure points.

Any time or thoughts on the IWI Tavor TS12.
 
It looks awkward to me, with that 14.5" LOP and long reach to the fore grip, not sure if its any worse than the other bull-pumps in that regard, but I can see it being relatively easy to short stroke.
 
Looks cool but seems to have just as many negative quirks as the KSG unfortunately, I wish someone made a dual tube single barrel "bullpump" shotgun that was truly reliable and well made
 
The guy in the video tries way too hard to impress his audience.
He is a cool and knowledgable guy... a legion in his own mind. Just ask him, he'll tell ya.

Hate running to guys like this at the range ...... "Instagram Operator" types are annoying.

That aside.... piss on this shotgun.
I'd rather go with a tried, tested and true Benelli M4 over this gun and the Keltec garbage guns.

That dude from TFB really does know his stuff. If youve followed TFB.com for any period of time, you will have seen this.

Have to agree, James' attitude is all tongue in cheek, and meant in good fun. I actually think this looks interesting, would love to see them in Canada if for no other reason than competition is good, as are more options in our ever more options limited country.
 
Where can one order these in Canada?

Pretty much any dealer in Canada should either have some by now or have some on they way to them. I've seen several CGN sponsors listing or advertising them already. Firearms outlet Canada, Calgary Shooting Centre, The Shooting Edge, just to name a few. Pricing seems to be very similar everywhere.

Last I checked, almost all of those are still in "pre-order" mode for online purchasing. Dante sports too. They vary in price from $1499 to $1549 to $1599

Those three are all advertising as in stock and I've seen photos from at least one or two of them floating around out there. I think these have now started hitting dealers' shelves. A week ago, probably not though.
 
ordered mine today!! Reliable gun was $50 less then the others and a great place overall. Happy to do business with them as usual. Cant wait to get it out!!
