Armscor, through its U.S. manufacturing division Rock Island Armory, continues to expand its shotgun lineup with the PK-12 Pak-Out Short, a compact, American-made 12-gauge pump designed for portability and practical performance.
The PK-12 Pak-Out Short is built around a space-saving, folding design that makes transport and storage significantly easier than traditional fixed-stock shotguns. Measuring approximately 26.75 inches in overall length when deployed, the shotgun folds down for compact storage in a pack, vehicle compartment, or gear case. The design is particularly appealing to shooters who prioritize maneuverability and convenient transport without sacrificing the capability of a full-power 12-gauge platform.
Chambered for 12-gauge shells up to 3 inches, the Pak-Out Short operates on a spring-assisted pump action that delivers the familiar feel and reliability many shooters prefer. The manual action provides dependable cycling across a wide range of loads, making it suitable for defensive applications, property protection, and recreational shooting alike. Capacity is rated at 4+1, offering five total rounds on board.
The shotgun features a short barrel optimized for close-range performance while keeping overall size and weight manageable. Its compact profile enhances handling in tight spaces and allows for quicker target transitions. A bead front sight works in conjunction with a rear notch integrated into the hinge assembly, providing a straightforward sighting system that aligns naturally for fast acquisition.
Ergonomics are equally considered in the design. The Pak-Out Short utilizes a durable polymer grip that promotes control and stability during operation. The exterior finish is engineered for resilience, helping protect the firearm from wear and environmental exposure during regular use in the field or at the range.
Manufactured in the United States, the PK-12 Pak-Out Short reflects Rock Island Armory’s focus on practical innovation and rugged functionality. By combining a folding configuration with traditional pump-action dependability, Armscor offers shooters a compact 12-gauge solution built for versatility and convenience.
