Customer Reviews for Girsan MC312 12 GA 28" Walnut/Blue, Inertia-X Drive

Beautiful shotgun and very powerful! Thanks Bud's

Love this gun been shooting clays handles well

A great gun at a great price. Well made from Turkey!

Been great so far. No complaints

I was skeptical about this gun at first. I must admit that. But, a skeet shooter at my shooting club bought one of the polymer stock versions (Model SB26) of the Girsan MC312, and I got to test it out. I instantly fell in love with the shotgun and had to get one for myself. This is a fantastic deal! Seriously...if you're in the need for an inertia driven shotgun...look no further! The Girsan MC312 is a Benelli-style inertia driven shotgun. The recoil assembly is in the stock, not the forend. So, the forend is sleek and slender, like a Benelli. This gun has all the bells and whistles that you'd expect in a Benelli, but for half of the price! It has a super slick action. This shotgun has an incredibly smooth action. The finish on the receiver is shiny and attractive. Spend the extra money and get the Turkish walnut version. It's worth the money. The wood is superb. The pictures don't do it justice. Really nice character in the wood! And, it has some decent checkering. The bolt, changing handle, safety, trigger, and lifter are chrome plated. The bore is chrome lined. It comes with 5 choke tubes and a choke wrench. The gun comes shipped in a hard plastic case. It has a nice, solid vent rib and an easy to see fiber optic front sight. And, it's not a cheap, cheesy front sight. You can easily pick it up when swinging the gun, tracking on a target. This gun is a great buy. Watch the YouTube videos. This gun shoots just as fast as you'll see in those videos. And, even though this gun is lightweight, the recoil is very manageable. No kidding. I'm looking forward to having a blast shooting this shotgun coming up at skeet competitions. Check out the Girsan MC312. You'll be glad that you did! Thank you BudsGunShop for your great customer service, your convenient LayAway option, and your fast shipping. That's why I love buying guns through you! Thanks so much!

Very nice but kicks like a mule but it runs right with my Benelli 250 shots in no issues!!!! Go Team Buds!!!!

Great gun! Great price! Comes with 5 chokes and a nice plastic case. Quality is as promised. Can't go wrong with this one.

This is the 5th gun from Buds and the service was great . All I can say about this shotgun is SWEET!!! I've ran 50 rounds of low brass and about a dozen #4s through it and shot and ran great . Very light on the shoulder. A very fine gun. If you're looking a auto 12 better hurry and grab one of these !

Have been buying my firearms from Buds for several years now and have never been disappointed service has been 5 star. delivery 5 star, all firearms purchased 5 star, the latest addition Girsan semi auto shotgun a thing of beauty and a real performer.

Ordered the Girsan with low expectations. After receiving it and giving it a good once over with my Frog products this shotgun turned out to be a pleasant surprise for a semi at this price point. It had no problems with cycling 2 3/4 00 buck. Very satisfied with this firearm.

I wanted a semi-auto for reduced recoil to shoot trap and skeet at local gun club. I bought this because of price, 180 day layaway option and the Bud's video description showing the ease of dropping one shell in the chamber from the ejection port (perfect for trap). Also I opted for the additional lifetime warranty offered by Bud's so I figured this is a no-risk deal. I paid off layaway and the gun was soon shipped to local FFL dealer without a problem. I was pleased with the fit and finish. It comes in a hard case with 4 additional screw in chokes (MOD was in the barrel already). Today I took it to trap range for the first time. Functioned flawlessly for 100 rounds of Federal target load. Shot well and, for someone who has not been shotgunning in over ten years, I was able to get more than half of the targets. The first shot fired out of this shotgun got a clay pigeon dead on. No problems ejecting. The fiber optic bead on the barrel made target acquisition easy. The range rules do not allow more than one shell in at a time so I can't speak to cycling. It was very easy to roll in one shell through the ejection chamber. I am pleased with the build of the shotgun, it looks and feels of quality so I am very satisfied with my purchase and the service from Bud's. Based on results so far I recommend this shotgun for anyone who wants a reasonably priced auto-loader with a 180 day layaway option that performs well and has every indication of a quality build.

I received this product very quickly from Buds at my local FFL. Took it home and cleaned and oiled it. Took it out to the range a few times(100 rounds) and it worked flawlessly. Very clean action and function. I really appreciate the fiber optic front bead. Really stands out even in low light. Wood looks and feels great. I've got some of the lacquer peeling off on the grip. I'll keep and eye on it and see if it continues. If there's any issue I'm sure Buds will take care of it. Trap league started up and I've been using it all season. It's worked great. I I've already got a few spots showing up in the blueing of the barrel. I'm trying to keep it well oiled and clean. 'm very please with my purchase and my team are all jealous that I have an inertia semi auto shotgun at such a great price. It's a great first shotgun for those looking for a semi auto. I think that time will tell how it holds up.

I was looking for a cheaper semi for hunting. Something i could beat to death. Never heard of a girsan but decided to try it out. Got it today on 3/8/17. As far as a "break-in", i got all the leftover birdshot 2 3/4 #8 from this season and after roughly 130 shells it never jammed, or failed to fire. The action is smooth and tight. If youre looking for an cheap gun to hunt with, this one is outstanding. Shot number 2 4 6 and 8 at targets and the spread is right on. When shooting clays thr barrel never got that hot. I like it!

For the money, this is a great shotgun. After break in, I've run loads as light as 2.75 inch with 1145 FPS reluctantly because I did not think it would handle them well. How wrong I was! I broke in with 3 inch shells as is logical with this action and it has yet to malfunction. I thought with the light loads it would hiccup but it ate em up no problem! Then the best part: its very easy on the eyes with great wood, fit and finish. All 5 chokes functioned great and it stays very clean between shootings. This is the first Turkish made firearm I've owned and I'm not sorry I purchased. Trigger on my model breaks at 5.10 lbs. No complaints here! Again, for the money at $500.00 bucks and versatility I've experienced, it's a great buy. Now to be honest in this review, the one negative is the recoil only when I broke it in with the 3 inchers. I'm an upland hunter so I don't run much 3 inch. But after break in, the 2.75 inch are soft shooting and again have never jammed or malfunction. That's it. I'd buy this one again and do recommend the purchase if you're considering a semi auto and don't want to break the bank. Thanks Bud's! By the way an extra $25.00 bucks gets you a lifetime warranty. Not that you'll ever need it the way this one functions and as long as you do your part.

I've owned quite a few shotguns in my day, several autos, and paid for every one of them. But for the money this is a fine auto loading shotgun. Good wood and fitting, can't ask for much more for what you'll pay. I would recommend this gun if you're looking for an auto for range or field, looks like it would work for both equally well. Choke tubes come with it, and a nice hard fitted plastic case.

Buds was great in this transaction. I received this Girsan Shotgun and it looked great. Took it the local skeet shooting course and fed it some light target loads and we had a few FTF's and FTE's. Thought the gun's action needed to be broken in so shot a round of skeet using Federal Hi-Power loads (1 1/4). The gun cycled those perfectly no problems. Then switched back to target loads and no problems after that. So make sure if you buy this great gun to run a box of Hi-Power loads in it to break it in before doing the serious shooting. As for the swing action, the gun is well-balanced and points well. Buy this Gun if you haven't yet. This is the best kept deal on autoloaders you will find.

Shoots great and pretty gun. Have used for sporting clays and dove hunting, gun cycles perfectly. Uses same choke tubes as beretta, gun is well worth the money.

Ordered on Black Friday. Took a little while to get on the website. I am sure it was a busy day. I received it on Wednesday. Awesome! Nice job BUDS!!! Gun was in top shape, no issues. I have not had the chance to shoot it yet so time will tell. A little heavier than I thought but I went back to the Web site and it does not state the weight. At this point I could not be happier. I will follow up after I get to the range. I wanted an auto loader that would eat up anything I put in it. Looking to see if it will cycle light loads.

I won my at Buds auction on 11-20-14 . Got on the 25th. This is a real nice shotgun. The wood is truly nice. The finish is like a mirror. I never heard of Girsan. But I have a brother who was station in Turkey in the late 80's he bought a shotgun when he was there. We shot the crap out it. Still works. That's my review. By the way I also won the 26" duck blind. Can't wait.
