Hi fellas!

This is my original Italian Valtro PM-5 box magazine fed 12 gauge pump shotgun.

It was initially produced by Valtro in the 80s, and Brixia continued production after Valtro went down.

The magazine takes 7 shells, and are quite expensive to source.

It was used by various police and military units, and French Navy is still keeping them in service.

Overall, I love the pistol grip and fixed stock, and the fact that it is a reliable mag-fed shotgun. The 14” barrel makes it quite maneuverable and gives it a cool look. Some people do not like the length of pull though, which I don’t mind.

Note: Trigger lock was temporarily removed for pictures; it is on it at all times.

Lol.. very true... id imagine semiauto would have way more problems. There was one that I wanted years ago, but I didnt get... and I wish I had. It was called a dagger sap6... super cheap.. it was like 400 bucks when it first came out.

Maybe you can check out Mossberg 590RM - it’s a similar pump shotgun with a mag design!
