This wild new pump-action shotgun was turning some heads at the 2026 SHOT Show in Las Vegas: the Rock Island Armory PK-12 "Pak-Out." The innovative firearm has a folding stock, but it also folds in half at the action, meaning it breaks down into a pretty compact take-down shotgun that folds to the length of its barrel with some serious capability.
"At just 37.25 inches long unfolded — and only 18.5 inches when folded — this 12-gauge, American-made firearm is compact, portable, and ready for anything."
The action includes a spring-assisted pump: you pull the slide back to eject the spent shell, and a spring helps push it forward to load a new round and close the breech.
It boasts a 4+1 shell capacity with an 18.5 inch barrel, it’s built for smooth action and serious performance. The PK-12 chambers up to 3-inch shells, and is built in the USA.
