The DP-12 was also a former contender on Best of the Best. It is a bullpup, pump action with dual magazine tubes and…wait for it…two barrels. You work the action once, then pull the trigger twice, then work the action again. It holds 14+2, has a full-length Picatinny for sights, lots of M-LOK slots, AR-style ambidextrous safety, ejects and loads out of the bottom, and is ridiculously fun to shoot. It feels very heavy, but that weight soaks up recoil. Despite such an unusual design, every evaluator commented that it was very user friendly and loaded easily, although in an unusual way since there are two tubes and you reach up through the ejection port. It was one of the more expensive shotguns, but with the fantastic engineering and construction it is easy to see why.
