Smith & Wesson M&P12

The M&P12 is another gun that I have tested recently so it again had a small advantage. This dual-magazine pump bullpup is built like a little tank. It has an ambidextrous safety, an ambidextrous pump release, ejects out of the bottom, has a full-length Picatinny rail for sights, push-button magazine selector, M-LOK slots for lights or lasers and great ergonomics. The universal complaint was it is slow to load. You have to sit it barrel down and use one hand to feed in the shell while the other hand manipulates one of the “assist” buttons. Once you learn how, it loads fairly quickly, but it isn’t a gun that you could readily top off during a gunfight. On the other hand, it holds 14+1 so realistically, how many more shells do you need?
