Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Model 12 was Winchester’s first slide-action hammerless shotgun. It was designed in 1911 by Winchester company engineer Thomas C. Johnson, utilizing a strong frame and a hidden hammer. It was officially introduced in 1912 and soon became a commercial success, with almost 2 million pieces made until production ceased in 1963. In addition to many hunting and sporting guns in the Winchester Model 12 shotgun lineup, from 1918, the company also produced two fighting versions, the Model 12 Riot gun and the Model 12 Trench gun, both of which were used in both world wars. A riot shotgun is a shotgun designed or modified for use as a primarily defensive weapon, with a short barrel and sometimes a larger magazine capacity than shotguns marketed for hunting.
The riot shotgun is used by military personnel for guard duty and was once used for riot control. It is commonly used as a door-breathing and patrol weapon by law enforcement personnel and as a home-defense weapon by civilians. Guns of this type are often labeled as breaching shotguns, tactical shotguns, or special-purpose shotguns to denote the larger scope of their use; however, these are largely marketing terms.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
