The Citadel Pup Scout is a gas-operated 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun (Legacy Sports part no. FRPS1218) engineered for quick-response scenarios where speed and balance matter. Legacy Sports International built the Pup Scout with a metal upper receiver and forend for durability, along with integral Picatinny rails on both the top and bottom for mounting optics, lights, and grips. Ambidextrous controls and adjustable sights make this shotgun easy to run for shooters of any dominant hand or shooting style. It is a solid pick for home defense or as a dedicated truck gun.
