Proud owner here. Its funny how my own brother thought it was more a gimmick gun. Then he shot mine and said, yeah this Halo gun really is pretty cool and well thought out. Get one before they keep going up in price. Agreed, greatest home defense shotgun out there. I think of it as a working mans AA-12 ;) Everything doesnt need to be a Benelli M4
What’s wild is how this thing came out 2 years ago and almost no one talks about it now. I have no idea why either, for a pick-up-and-go weapon system this thing seems great.
Good review! Just went to order one and it arrives Friday plus 10 days... A 15+1 round firearm in California, I figured better get it before they implement some new "safety measures" that will ban it.
Good video. You should have more views. That eotech looks massive on it. If someone made an opsol-like device to run minishells, this would be my next purchase! Imagine 8 in a tube.
1300 buck out in the sticks of Arizona. It takes way too much skill to learn the battery of arms, but man after you send a few hundred rounds through it and spend some time with dummy rounds to practice at home it is freaking awesome. It hold seventeen rounds, eats anything I can put in in, low base, high base slugs... at thirty yards you can cut clover leaves with the slugs. My wife learned how to ghost load it in about two minutes. She's still not good at it with her own semi-auto shotgun. It will eat money like you can't imagine. You will go through fifteen rounds in the tubes so fast... Comes apart super easy for cleaning... doesn't need a lot of cleaning unlike say a Mossberg where you better clean it every time you shoot it. Worst problem with it, the stock is high so you need a high mounted sight. I'm using a Holosun on a riser to make it line up without my earmuffs banging into the stock. Which makes it so tall it won't zip into any of my range gun bags. I'll live with it, or get a taller bag.
This is my first shutgun so I didn't have to unlearn anything. It requires a 75 round break-in period but after that it's flawless. I paid less than $1,200 for mine last year.
How does this compare to the Saiga-12 by Izhmash? I have a grandfathered one but it is Big and heavy, ergo unwieldy. Like it needs a pintle or tripod mount. It's really just a showcase item.
@@RattlesnakeDefense It sure looks a lot like my Manticore Arms Curved Buttpad (and NOT like the totally flat factory standard buttpad) which BTW is a great (and not expensive) upgrade for the TS12.

Thanks, and it would make a great gun that could be even more compact.
Thanks for the review, and nice to see the FDE up close. My TS12 FDE arrives at my FFL tomorrow.

Excellent & so short, but with range demo. Thank you.
Thank you for being kind.

Great review, thanks. Was the cheek weld on that stock alright or did it beat you up a bit more than a traditional shotgun stock?
Considering your face in is on the receiver, I found it to be very comfortable on your face.
You don't see that every day.
Very modern and cool 12 gauge! Will this shoot Mini shells as well as standard 12 gauge?
very interesting question, I will have to try some.
It does not fire mini-shells unfortunately. The one drawback
What butt stock is that?
It was factory on this model.
