The Tokarev TSA-12 is a semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun chambered for 3-inch shells, built for shooters who want fast handling and a unique manual-cycling backup system. This shotgun (Tokarev part no. 21000431) pairs an 18.5-inch barrel with a synthetic stock and a drilled-and-tapped receiver, so it’s ready for a red dot right out of the box. Its standout feature is a stock-actuated charging system: pulling the buttstock or pistol grip rearward manually cycles the bolt, giving shooters a reliable way to run the action without reaching for a separate charging handle. Between the fiber optic front sight and 4+1 capacity, the TSA-12 is built for home defense, tactical training, or anyone who wants a versatile 12 gauge that handles differently than a typical pump or inertia gun.
