SDS Imports Tokarev TAR 12MP 12 Gauge Shotgun, 18.5-inch

The SDS Imports Tokarev TAR 12MP (brand part no. 21000102) is a 12 gauge semi-automatic, AR-pattern shotgun built around an 18.5-inch barrel and finished in black with nickel accents. Unlike its bullpup TBP stablemate, the TAR keeps a traditional stock length at roughly 41.5 inches overall, giving a familiar cheek weld and point of aim for shooters coming from AR-15 platforms. Front and rear flip-up sights ship standard, and the gun is chambered to cycle both 2-3/4-inch and 3-inch 12 gauge shells. It is built as an affordable home-defense or tactical shotgun for shooters who want AR-style ergonomics without the compressed bullpup footprint.

Key Specifications

• Runs a semi-automatic action rather than a manual pump or lever.
• Chambered in 12 gauge with a 3-inch chamber, cycling both 2-3/4-inch and 3-inch shells.
• The 18.5-inch barrel keeps the gun fast-handling in tight spaces.
• Overall length of about 41.5 inches gives a traditional AR-length stock rather than a compressed bullpup footprint.
• Feeds from a 5-round detachable magazine rather than a tube, so reloads are a magazine swap.

• Ships with a three-choke set — Cylinder, Full, and Modified — for adjusting shot pattern to the target.
• Finished in black with nickel accents for a distinctive two-tone look.
• Ships at approximately 9.5 pounds in its case.
