Rock Island Armory's PAK OUT is a compact 12-gauge built around the idea of a shotgun that stows small and deploys fast. The 18.5-inch barrel and 3-inch chamber keep it legal, handy and capable of running standard defensive and hunting loads, and the black finish is built for utility rather than looks.

It fits the truck gun, boat bag and home-defense roles, where a short overall package matters more than a long sight radius or a graceful swing.
