Buy recommendations Compact 12GA Pump Recommendations?

Hey y’all, I recently got my PAL and I’ve been looking for a compact (14”~ barrel) 12GA 3”

pump shotgun with a telescoping stock and a rail for optics.

I don’t want to spend too much, so right now my top contenders are the Huglu Victor P-Tac or the Canuck Commander.

I also considered the EGE Panzer Arms Raider XII (or similar folding pumps), but I wasn’t fond of the reduced magazine capacity and relatively unproven design.

And recommendations or tips?

Stay away from offshore garbage. Invest in a Mossberg 590A1 class 3 pump. Dual bars, dual extractors, cock solid ghost ring irons, with a heavy walled 14" barrel. It will never let you down and it's NR (never again register anything with our government).

Not if you've ever had a reliable hard-on it isn't. It's a great adverb/adjective.

Mossberg ghost ring sights won't fail you, no matter how old they are. ;)
