It's hard to resist a 16-round shotgun (14 in the magazines plus 2 in the chamber)—so we didn't. American Rifleman's Brian Sheetz made his way to the Standard Manufacturing bay at SHOT Show 2017's Range Day to try out the one-of-a-kind DP-12 shotgun, our sister publication Shooting Illustrated's Golden Bullseye pick for 2017 Shotgun of the Year. This double-barreled 12-gauge pump-action shotgun features a single trigger, ambidextrous safety, two Picatinny rails for accessories and slots to attach MOE rails. In fact there are far too may features on this shotgun to list, but you can learn more in this video, or go to standardmanufacturing.com for more. MSRP: $1,395
