The DP-12 is a unique American-made bullpup pump-action double-barrel 12-gauge shotgun produced by Standard Manufacturing Company (sometimes referred to as Standard Mfg. Co.). Introduced around 2015, it stands out for combining the compact size of a bullpup design with the high firepower of dual barrels and dual magazines.
Key Specifications
Gauge: 12-gauge, chambered for 2¾" or 3" shells.
Barrels: Two side-by-side 18â…ž" (approx. 480 mm) barrels.
Overall Length: 29.5" (75 cm) — very compact for its capabilities.
Weight: Approximately 9.3–9.75 lbs (4.2–4.4 kg) unloaded.
Capacity: Dual tubular magazines under the barrels. Each holds 7 rounds of 2¾" shells or 6 rounds of 3" shells, for a total of 14 + 2 (chambered) = 16 rounds (2¾") or 14 rounds (3"). Windows in the tubes let you check remaining ammo.
Action: Pump-action with a single trigger. The first pull fires the right barrel, the second fires the left. One full pump cycle ejects two spent shells and loads two fresh ones (one into each barrel).
Effective Range: Optimized for close quarters (around 20–25 yards with spreader chokes).
Design and Features
Bullpup Layout: The action sits behind the trigger group, integrated into the stock, making the gun short and maneuverable while keeping relatively long barrels for better velocity and patterns.
Feeding and Ejection: Inline feeding from independent magazine tubes. Large bottom loading/ejection port behind the pistol grip (bottom-ejecting, which helps with ambidextrous use and keeps hulls from hitting the shooter).
Controls: Ambidextrous AR-style safety and pump slide release. Co-molded non-slip rubber pistol grip and composite foregrip.
Recoil Management: Rubber recoil pad with dual spring-loaded mechanism; the gun’s weight also helps tame recoil.
Accessories:
Long top Picatinny rail (about 13.75", 34 slots) for optics/red dots.
Bottom 7-slot rail (often with a vertical foregrip).
M-LOK slots for further customization.
Comes with spreader ("Max Spreader") choke tubes (Tru-Choke thread pattern); optional tactical chokes available.
Construction: Aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum receiver (often thermal-coated), synthetic stock, machined barrels.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
HK VP9CC Pistol Concealed Carry: 3 Months Later
While just a hair larger than a micro 9mm, the VP9CC pistol is more controllable and still very easy to conceal comfortably with an optic. It’s a pricier option, but I shoot it better than any other gun its size, and it’s been 100 percent reliable.
