Hands On With The IWI Tavor TS12 Shotgun [Video]

Chris Heuss - comments No comments

My first stop at SHOT range day was the IWI tent to check out the new Tavor TS12. I was lucky enough to not even have to wait in line. I watched an IWI rep shoot the new bullpup shotgun.

Unfortunately he experienced a lot of failures to eject, due to light loads. Keep in mind it was a prototype gun. After switching to loads that fire over 1,200 fps the gun ran perfectly. Sorry guys, no mini shells.

The three cylinders rotate easily to allow loading of 5 shells per tube for a total of 15 shells plus one in the chamber.

The trigger felt good. The action was smooth and the recoil was not bad at all. After you empty the first tube, depress a little lever thing, rotate the tube and continue enjoying your ‘Mercia.

Jeremy got video of a few rounds going downrange, followed by Tom from IWI chatting with Ron and walking us through the unique features of the TAVOR TS12.

With an MSRP of $1,399 it ain’t cheap but I have a feeling it will be fairly popular.

  1. Finally! An ingenious solution to a non existent problem. But, the review is already in…”shoots like a Glock 19 with a Glock 17 frame.” That about wraps it up.

  2. Judging from the authors words and the post in the comments section, most are ignorant of the simple fact that the 2nd Amendment does not apply to the States. If you recall your Constitutional history, the 2nd Amendment was part of the Bill of Rights and the Bill of Rights was added as “insurance” to remind our newly formed Federal Government of their boundaries. Each State (which are Sovereign) has their own Constitution. Many States have language similar to the 2A in their Constitutions, and any thing other than Constitutional Carry probably violates the States Constitution. But here’s the point, FedGov was never delegated (by their Creator, the States) any authority over the country at large to make any laws, regulations or rules regarding firearms…that would include “national reciprocity.” Here’s a very good article from a Constitutional knowledgeable Attorney on the subject: https://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/2017/07/19/from-duty-to-be-armed-to-permission-to-carry/
