Great channel and video as always. No hate, no politics, no snarkiness, just a good review. Most of the other firearm review channels could learn something from you.
Hello Stever. I almost always leave politics out of my videos and I know most of my viewers probably appreciate it too. Thank you for the nice comment...much appreciated 🙏
I bought one of these a while back, never shot it. Took it to the range today and it was a hoot! Shoots great, i used iron sights and it grouped fantastic. Had no issues with #4 buck. Had 5 and 10 round mags run great no hangups.
Great seeing you and your son out together, shooting and having a good time. A guy I work with bought one of these for his first gun , he had issues with his. So we shot some higher fps rounds to get it running, not sure how many he tried himself. Now it runs better , he hasn't complained. Been too cold here to go to a outdoor range
Most of the Turkish shotguns that I have shot have required a break-in period and I'm glad to hear that your co-worker's shotgun is running much better. My son and I enjoyed making this video and we thank you for watching it.
Great review. I have one, and it has been 100% with full power loads. It doesn't like low powered ammo, the manufacturer recommends 1,300 fps or greater for best results. Seems pretty well built too, all steel internals. Not that easy to take down and clean, but for a home defense gun it is quite good I think.
Now that's a home defense shotgun. I like that. The price won't break the bank and it seemed to run just fine once you got away from Winchester loads. I've heard other folks have had trouble out of there ammo before. I'd diffently buy one . A bit on the heavy side but that'll help with the recoil. Good review guys. I always enjoy your videos. Your all the time trying out different guns and ammo. Help's a person decide if he or she for that matter weather 🤔 to buy a certain gun or not. You guys have a great place to shoot. Wish I had such a place. Anyway, well done. Have a great weekend 😀. Peace 🙏
Great video again. When your son says you’re the best teacher, that’s all you ever need. Watching that slug travel in the air for that 180 yard shot was super cool. Enjoy your weekend.
Smiling watching you shoot. I have a couple of Black Aces shotguns. Broke them in with Federal government loads of 9 pellet 00 at 1600fps. They're definitely fun, if only for a range day
I have several Turkish semi automatic 12 gauge (including one BullPup) and none of them like the"Low" brass ammo. However, they are all fun to shoot using high brass ammo. Thanks for your video mixup.. Greetings from Texas!
Hello Ron and greetings from Nevada. I have several Tristar shotguns (Turkey) which my son and I use for quail and rabbit hunting and fortunately they operate very well on low brass shells. Have a great weekend!
I have one with the same holosight and an extended barrel choke. Really fun gun, great recoil and good weight distribution. A bit heavy and the trigger is heavy too but it’s a great bush gun!
They have some interesting shotguns. One of my kids bought one that is a multi-function gun. It has different barrels, mags, and stocks in the case. You could take it to the range in the morning and shoot a 3-gun match, then go shoot a round of sporting clays, then set it up for a bedside gun in the evening.
As much as we want to blame the Winchester White Box, in my experience with my Franchi Affinity 3, 26" barrel, 1200 FPS is right at the very bottom of the velocity scale to operate it properly. I use it primarily for dove & quail hunting so I do alot of 2.75" field loads (1 and 1/8 oz or 1 and 1/4 oz) typically #6 or # 7&1/2 shot with zero issues. Living my best La Vida Loca here in south eastern Arizona
I think some folks got the idea this REALLY IS for lefties. NEVER!... It's fired from the right shoulder. It's designed so the right hand does fire control (safety and trigger), the left hand does feeding and function (mag exchanges, charging handle). Enjoyed the videos, 180 yard shots were impressive!
I like the length of a traditional mossberg pump. I'm not tactically clearing rooms, even for home protection, its never been an issue for me training even in tight spaces with snap caps going from a small closet to bedroom to view down hall out the door. All that said this thing seems pretty cool. I like bullpups from a cool engineering standpoint, full length just feels natural to me for some reason. Was this before the KSG from keltec?
You certainly can't go wrong with a Mossberg pump shotgun, which is what I prefer when it comes to shotguns. I don't know which came first, the KSG or the FD12 shotgun but maybe one of my viewers will know the answer.
Short sleeves and no jacket.... was down to zero last night and still have 3 and four foot drifts around, but going down some...lol Great video once again! God bless all here. 😊😊😊
I like traditional side by side shotguns with bunny ears but found your video interesting and entertaining, your son is indeed a good shot you taught him well....🇬🇧
Nice vid Mix! (No beam in tho....) I hope this works well for you. The semiauto shotgun is a platform that, in my experience, is really not for compromises. They can be picky to run. I stick to Mossberg, Beretta, or maybe older Remy. FN or Benelli too but $$. It is a cool looking shotty tho. I loved the "I bet you had a good teacher"... "The best" interaction too. Your son is a very good shooter, it makes sense that Dad taught him well.
Another great one! Love it when your son can join you. Interesting review of that Black Aces shotty... I have no experience with those. I've see them for sale for like $299 and they have a slightly newer version now. Interesting. Pretty amazing how accurate it was at distance with those slug loads! Thanks!!
You would think with the weight and being a semiauto that recoil would be less than a pump shotgun, but the FD12 seems to produce more recoil. I would guess it has to do with the ergonomics or the short length.
Hope they are well-made bullpups. I'd want to feel pretty confident if I had large explosions going off so close to my head, but that's just me. Nice review, gentlemen!
"Well-made" is a relative term for this class of Turkish-made firearm. As far as Turkish 12 gauge bullpups go, it's, um, well-made if you get a good one.
👍Good stuff! I’ve went round and round on getting a 12 bullpup. Still on the fence. Send some of that sunshine to KY in effort to thaw your south eastern friends out! HA! Thx for the shootin vids!
Another great day for shooting in Nevada! I may head out to the range today, but it’s 30 and there’s snow on the ground here. My Citadel Boss 25 didn’t like Winchester either, federal field and target 1200 fps ran great, and slugs and buckshot sometimes would make the bolt outrun the mag spring, and it would jam on chambering.
Great video! I have a Rock Island BP and had the same problem with the light loads. Researched this problem and found an answer.Cock the weapon and leave it in this position for a week or so, unloaded. This worked for mine. Now it runs anything I put in it .Also they like to be run a little dirty, I think for a better gas seal.
Bought mine at the low end of $300. Shop around if interested. Being a southpaw, I ordered a lefty variant. The FD12 does need a good break in period and a good cleaning afterwards. I wouldn't bet my life on this firearm, but is rather made for the tacticool look and for blowing up stuff. Lots of fun to shoot! It is heavy, but doesn't feel overly so. Unfortunately, there are no replacement parts for this gun, and if a part breaks or fails, it will make a good wall hanger.
I love bullpups in any platform, just makes sense. I've been looking into one for home defense. After researching and talking with some owners, I found it's best to disassemble, clean and properly lube. Then bolt locked back under spring tension and set it in a corner for about a week. After all this the bullpup was then reliable even with the sub 1200fps. Hope this helps. Good stuff!
Love those lil shotguns. I bought one several years ago it’s the rock island one. Haven’t had one hiccup yet. It has a 20inch barrel. They are fun ain’t they.
I'm laughing - there you stand in sunshine and short sleeves - here its 0 degrees and buried. Thats an intimidating looking firearm - though I think I'll keep my pump. Thanks as always and don't get too chilled now.
Same here in the Omaha area. A foot of snow still on the ground and zero degrees. I won't be shooting outside for a couple of months, at least. Call me a softie but I prefer 45-50 degrees at the least. 😁
This Is Our winter season sometimes we need a long T shirt. Guns God and good weather stay warm moved from Maine. Vacation every day try It? Shoot straight.
Those turkey made shotguns share the same magazine form factor. and I also believer magazine is the one thats causing most of the jamming. I think RIA VRBP-100 or Tokarev TBP 12 are essentially same gun as this one with different chasis. They cycle the light rounds much better when you leave the magazine fully loaded and press down the springs for few weeks
Mixup 🤠👏🏻👏🏻always great to see you gentlemen out there....that is a very cool gun! I'm still going to take the 590A1😂😂take care guys see you again soon 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Another fun video and an interesting shotgun. But like another poster said, I think I'll stick with my pumps. Keep ' em coming guys. Have fun and be safe!
Bought one I'd say 8 months ago and maybe fired between me and my buddies about 500 rounds max and no issues with just cheap federal target loads....fun as hell !
I've thought about getting rid of mine, but after watching this video, I think I'll keep it. Must've been the low pressure ammo I was using. Nice! GBPT 🇺🇸🙏
I have the pump version much more tolerant on ammunition. Hasn’t had an issue yet. Even though it’s heavier it’s easier to shoot because the weight isn’t hanging out in front of you.
Curious why no one makes rimless shells for use in semi-auto shotguns. If nothing else, I bet you could fit a few more rounds in a magazine without being awkwardly large.
I really don't know what brand of pop up sights were on my son's shotgun but I believe he had told me that they were a cheap set that he picked up somewhere. If this where my shotgun I would put a set of Magpul backup sights on it.
Additional information: White box Winchester generally doesn't run in automatics regardless of brand. The most functional cheap/bulk ammo readily available is red box Federal birdshot. I have right at 2000 rounds through mine at this point and have had no mechanical issues. I have all drums for automatic shotguns, and some are better than others, I don't consider them reliable enough for defense. Magazines available for these are 3, 5, 9, 10, & 19 round. The 19's are only made by Rock Island for competition, and very reliable. These guns are a lot of fun and can be tuned for reliable self defense pretty easily. There were left hand versions of this gun made. The charging handle is ambi for preference as opposed to handedness. I run mine on the left to I can keep my hand on the trigger and grip while staying on target in a mag swap or malfunction clear.
They're Turkish guns. Got to strip them down and clean them out before shooting. They come with some thick grease to prevent rusting. I do it to all my Turkish shot guns. Stripped down, clean and oil, rack the gun 500 times, and store it with the spring under tension for a couple of days. Shoots like a champ... even with low brass.
Apparently the gun doesn't like light loads so it could just be that but I did see another review mention something that could explain the malfunctions: apparently tapping the mag after insertion can cause malfunctions (the mag actually goes in a little too far). It seems like you tapped it in harder the first 2 times, then the last time seems lighter and ran fine.
These Turkish shotguns run better with brass shells on the break in period. From what I've heard you use high velocity types to break it in good before it works successfully. Thanks for posting and sharing. ♠️🎩🎯🎱🇺🇸🏁🇮🇱🇺🇦🌻🔱💮🌸🌼🏴☠️🏹
I am your fan club. I live in Thailand. I have this gun. you Teach how to clean it because I have no knowledge of cleaning this model at all. If it doesn't bother you, thank you very much
Most of the automatic 12 ga shotguns are quite sensitive towards the ammo they are being fed with. The only two exceptions that I know of are Saiga 12 and Vepr 12. These two guys can eat any type of ammo, including reloaded brass shells loaded with black powder...
Thanks for the quick reply, sir. I bought one new a couple of years ago. It came with two mags; one 5 round and one 3 round . Picked up 2 extra 9 round mags but have yet to break it in. After watching you and your son, I will definitely be bringing it out once it warms up a bit. Cheers.@@mixup98
@@01rcpena A .410 bullpup shotgun sounds pretty cool but unfortunately .410 ammo is extremely hard to find, at least in my area. Thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
That's a really neat looking shotgun! Someone else on UA-cam was shooting that same Winchester ammo and his gun didn't like it much either and the shell bases showed deformation where they were unsupported in the chamber. Looks like they might be aluminum and pretty soft...so I suspect that's more the issue than the velocity as the recoil impulse with them should have been close enough to the others that it should have run them just as well. The only gripe I've seen with box mag fed shotguns is that the shells can deform if you leave them loaded for long periods of time. Shotgun shells are designed to stack end to end and are very strong in that direction while in a box magazine the spring pressure can make them flatten a bit which might cause malfunctions. The Saiga's with extended mags were mentioned by a buddy who has one and left the mags loaded for months and the shells had squished a bit. Might be something to consider if you're planning on keeping one loaded for home defense.
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO! Please review the holster below! PS02 -SA is an Inside the waist band holster, made by MERNICKLE holsters. I use this to carry my Heavy single action REVOLVERS. "IT'S WONDERFUL!" It's the "ONLY EASY WAY" to carry a heavy revolver! Sholder holsters too much clutter! "Appendix carry!" "I carry my Freedom Arms 5" barrel 475, all day!" COMFORTABLE "IS" the BENEFIT! No connection to the company!

Great review on that star wars shotgun. The size comparison was an eye opener. Nice.
👍😎
Another great video. Keep going!!!
Cool video. Oh that concrete block was history. Those slugs are nasty ....
My guess is, u put 500 shells through the weapon, the slower 7 1/2 shot will feed flawlessly and the mag issue may go away slighty.

A real nail driver. Looks like a fun gun.
The slugs at 180 yards looked like artillery projectiles going down range. You could see the drop.
I love that bullpup BPB version. Semi auto magazine fed, but be warned it has recoil.
Awesome video
Nice revolver shootin
What slugs and which choke was the son using?
Bought one I'd say 8 months ago and maybe fired between me and my buddies about 500 rounds max and no issues with just cheap federal target loads....fun as hell !
The FD12 does actually come with left side eject port. I own one for this very reason.
Good to know.....thank you!

@bigo1053 Did you buy the black aces ammo? I'm asking because that's what I did. And I had no problems.
I wonder how well the Black Aces brand buckshot would cycle through it? It's a pretty hot load for buckshot
This gun loves high recoil ammo. It eats slugs and buckshot with ease!
Awesome video is it safe to use modified choke for slugs?
I have the pump version much more tolerant on ammunition. Hasn’t had an issue yet. Even though it’s heavier it’s easier to shoot because the weight isn’t hanging out in front of you.

Mix up fix up just what I needed tonight 👌😎
Awesome! I should be posting another video tomorrow morning 😎👌
Son, how many times have you had to walk home? Another great video!
Apparently the gun doesn't like light loads so it could just be that but I did see another review mention something that could explain the malfunctions: apparently tapping the mag after insertion can cause malfunctions (the mag actually goes in a little too far).
It seems like you tapped it in harder the first 2 times, then the last time seems lighter and ran fine.
Hi guy's great review on the Bullpup,, You don't have a VR.60 AR. Style shotgun do ya :? I've been wanting one but waiting for them to remove bug's
These Turkish shotguns run better with brass shells on the break in period. From what I've heard you use high velocity types to break it in good before it works successfully. Thanks for posting and sharing. ♠️🎩🎯🎱🇺🇸🏁🇮🇱🇺🇦🌻🔱💮🌸🌼🏴☠️🏹
I am your fan club. I live in Thailand. I have this gun. you Teach how to clean it because I have no knowledge of cleaning this model at all. If it doesn't bother you, thank you very much
I cannot make any promises but I will try to make a cleaning video on this shotgun. 👍😎
Hmm. What went wrong with the first round of shells? Inconsistent propellant load = not enough gas to cycle the bolt?
He loves his dad that's for sure.
As always, I loved it.
Most of the automatic 12 ga shotguns are quite sensitive towards the ammo they are being fed with. The only two exceptions that I know of are Saiga 12 and Vepr 12. These two guys can eat any type of ammo, including reloaded brass shells loaded with black powder...
Hello from Texas. Really enjoyed the video! Do you have any experience with the Hatsan Escort Bullpup in .410? Thanks.
Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the Escort .410 shotgun.
Thanks for the quick reply, sir. I bought one new a couple of years ago. It came with two mags; one 5 round and one 3 round . Picked up 2 extra 9 round mags but have yet to break it in. After watching you and your son, I will definitely be bringing it out once it warms up a bit. Cheers.@@mixup98
@@01rcpena A .410 bullpup shotgun sounds pretty cool but unfortunately .410 ammo is extremely hard to find, at least in my area. Thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
That's a really neat looking shotgun! Someone else on UA-cam was shooting that same Winchester ammo and his gun didn't like it much either and the shell bases showed deformation where they were unsupported in the chamber. Looks like they might be aluminum and pretty soft...so I suspect that's more the issue than the velocity as the recoil impulse with them should have been close enough to the others that it should have run them just as well.
The only gripe I've seen with box mag fed shotguns is that the shells can deform if you leave them loaded for long periods of time. Shotgun shells are designed to stack end to end and are very strong in that direction while in a box magazine the spring pressure can make them flatten a bit which might cause malfunctions. The Saiga's with extended mags were mentioned by a buddy who has one and left the mags loaded for months and the shells had squished a bit. Might be something to consider if you're planning on keeping one loaded for home defense.
Thanks for the important tip!
As usual great content!
Much appreciated!
I'm definitely going to pick one up for home defense. For the money it's a pretty cool gun
