In today's market, shooters have many options to choose from when shopping for a semi-auto shotgun, including many variants with the familiar ergonomics and controls of AR-platform rifles. An AR-style shotgun is intuitive and easy to pick up for most gun enthusiasts, plus the aftermarket support is phenomenal. Here's why you should consider an AR-12 for your next shotgun.
The primary advantage of an AR-style shotgun is that it utilizes the same manual of arms as the AR-15 rifle, a platform most shooters have at least some familiarity with. Its solid ergonomics and intuitive controls carry over to the AR-12, meaning most individuals will be able to effectively operate an AR-style shotgun with minimal prior training or instruction.
When it comes to aftermarket support and shooter preference, the AR-12 is among the most customizable semi-auto shotguns available to consumers in 2024. There is a plentiful supply of standard 5 or 10-round magazines as well as high-capacity drum magazines. And of course, the AR-12 is chambered for 12 gauge shotgun shells, allowing the user to select from a wide variety of hunting and defensive loads.
Like most modern semi-auto shotguns, the AR-12 can cycle reliably once the gun is properly set up using the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure and ammunition type. It is also faster to load and generally has less felt recoil than tube-fed semi-autos or pump action shotguns.
AR-style shotguns are more versatile than other semi-autos, with Picatinny rails and M-LOK slots providing a simple solution for mounting optics and lights. Moreover, the right AR-12 barrel and choke combo affords the shooter more than enough accuracy for use as a defensive firearm.
If you're already familiar with AR-platform rifles or if you're looking for a tactical magazine-fed shotgun, then we think an AR-12 is definitely worth picking up in 2024. There are many excellent options available in today's market and accessories (magazines, grips, etc.) are readily available.
