I bought an Uzkon UZ15-1280 today. It's a tube fed 12 ga pump. Holds 4 rounds +1.. That makes 9 rounds. $329 CDN.
Barrel is about 14" (355 mm) and about 31" overall. The stock compresses to become say 6" shorter. Butt stock also holds 4 rounds.
The store says a rail can be purchased for a light. It has a recess for a sling but not sling included. You do get 3 chokes and a choke wrench. Warranty 1 year. The barrel and receiver are steel.
The furniture is all polycarbonate, black and matches the steel finish.
The right hand goes on the pistol grip, the left on the slide. All controls are ambidextrous.
There is a front post sight but no rear sight. I don't want or need one.
I examined it twice before buying. The fit and finish are very good. The action is tight and wants a little muscle to load the mag and chamber the shells. But if you operate the pump briskly it chambers and ejects shells fine. It likes to be held level and so the ejection port is on the right side. It holds 3" and 2 3/4 shells but I had 2 3/4" 00 buckshot so i tried that.
I plan to try 2 new shotguns out next weekend at the skeet club.
Controls are a thumb safety and a slide release forward of the trigger guard. I guess the slide locks when the tube is empty but not certain. It could be trigger that controls it.
I would have liked to see a hand stop on the slide, though I don;t plan to do rapid fire much if at all. Why? There was the Yank who rapid fired his Keltec 12 ga and shot off his left hand, which slipped forward. I may fab and install a small stop myself, or install the rail and light forward of my hand hold.
Hard to believe the barrel is legal here but it is made that way so it's legal.
