Overview

Since its introduction several years ago, Crye Precision’s revolving shotgun has captured the hearts and minds of many gun owners. Myself included. I love wheel guns! The idea of 6-round, cylinder-fed shotgun is not only innovative but fundamentally cool. It didn’t take me long before I was like, “Shut up and take my money.”

There was a problem, though. As with many really really awesome gun designs, it was merely vaporware. It existed in the form of functional prototypes that had miles to go before they were ready for market. So we waited, and waited and waited. Until now.

It appears that “Six12 modular shotgun” will be released into the wild at the end of this year. Oh boy! Here we go!

You can see all the different setups of the Six12, from top to bottom: Suppressed, Civilian Full Length, Tactical Full Length, Mounted to the AR, Compact.

Features

• Removable 6-round cylindrical magazines
• Compact form factor with full length barrel
• Double-action (semi-automatic)
• Reliable mechanical action (no finicky gas-system)
• Accepts 12-gauge shells up to 3”
• Interchangeable barrels
• Ideal for recreational shooting, hunting, and home defense

Impression

As I mentioned, I’m sold. Seeing it once again in person only reinforced my affection.

As of right now, there are two versions of the Six12. The civilian, full-length version and the more modular version that is geared for military and law enforcement.

I know, LEOs and soldiers get to have all the fun stuff and they are the ones who will really be able to utilize the modularity of the Six12, whether it’s mounting it to an AR, using the ultra compact version, or adding on a Salvo12 suppressor.

If you do get one, you might as well put a Salvo12 suppressor on it, right?
