Detailed Review
The UTAS XTR-12 is a semi-automatic shotgun made by UTAS, a Turkish firearms manufacturer. It is designed for tactical and self-defense purposes and has been adopted by law enforcement agencies and military units in several countries.
The XTR-12 has a unique bullpup design that places the action behind the trigger group, allowing for a shorter overall length without sacrificing barrel length. This makes it highly maneuverable in tight spaces, such as vehicles or buildings, while still providing long-range accuracy. The shotgun also has a detachable box magazine that can hold up to 5 rounds, which allows for quick reloading.
The XTR-12 is chambered in 12 gauge and comes with a 18.5 inch barrel. It also features a gas-operated system that reduces recoil and provides smoother operation. The firearm has a Picatinny rail on top of the receiver, which allows for easy attachment of optics or other accessories. The shotgun also has an adjustable cheek rest and butt plate to accommodate different shooters and shooting positions.
The XTR-12 is made from high-quality materials, including aircraft-grade aluminum and steel, and has a durable matte black finish. It is also designed to be modular, with interchangeable parts that allow for customization and easy maintenance.
In terms of safety, the XTR-12 has a manual thumb safety and a trigger block safety. The shotgun also has a bolt hold-open feature that locks the bolt open after the last round is fired, indicating that the magazine is empty and needs to be reloaded.
Overall, the UTAS XTR-12 is a reliable and versatile shotgun that is well-suited for tactical and self-defense purposes. Its bullpup design, detachable box magazine, and Picatinny rail make it highly customizable and adaptable to a variety of situations.

I was an early adopter. The bolt failed on the first shot. Utas sent a redesigned part that functioned. The trigger wont reset. Because the lower is machined out of spec. Far enough out to cause serious malfunctions in aftermarket triggers like Hyperfire

The gun has cycling problems no matter what rounds I run through it. I wish the gun worked properly because it's on an awesome platform.

Ammunition needed for this shotgun
Davebone's review is correct, to a point. This beast eats powerful rounds! High brass, double buck, and slugs. Will not operate correctly with light loads, bird shot, and med-size powder loads. Wish you could adjust the gas system to accommodate thes

Will not cycle rounds
I have had this gun for around 2 years. It is a cool idea and looks awesome but it has given me nothing but problems. Doesn't feed rounds, doesn't eject cleanly, trigger wouldn't reset.... I want to love this thing but it just lets me down

Shotgun is really high quality. Safety switch was a little tight out of the box, requiring dissassembly and lube of the detent pin. Weapon worked flawlessly with 2 3/4 1200 fps target shells. Real game changer for this style of shotgun.

I had watched the XTR-12 for some time now and decided to buy after the second generation was introduced. Outfitted with optics lubricated all parts and headed to the range. Unfortunately the gun failed within one box of shells. The bolt pin bent and dama

After about a year going back and forth between the Russian/Chinese 12 guage magazine fed offerings and the new UTAS XTR AR 10 style-I made a choice-the familiarity and ease of disassembly and cleaning along with the VERY solid construction won out-BUT ri

Had the XTR-12 for two weeks. Ran 2 boxes of ammo through it perfectly straight out of the box. Cleaned and stored. Got it out this past week to shoot again with a different type of ammo and found it is VERY particular as to what will cycle it. I knew it
