PTR Industries has added a fixed-stock variant to its JACK lineup with the introduction of The JACK SBS FS, a factory short-barreled shotgun chambered in 12 gauge. The FS configuration pairs a pistol grip forend with a fixed stock, keeping the platform in familiar shotgun ergonomic territory while cutting overall length down to 25 inches. I get scared and nervous just by looking at the images of this Beast!
Recoil management was a design priority. The fixed stock, pistol grip, and AR-style grip are all sourced from Hogue’s OverMolded Rubber Tamer line, which PTR says is intended to reduce felt recoil and improve grip security during use. Unloaded weight comes in at 5.5 pounds.
As a factory-built NFA item, the JACK SBS FS requires the standard Form 4 transfer process through a licensed dealer. PTR notes that the shotgun cannot be shipped to Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, or Rhode Island, and that conditional restrictions apply in California, Minnesota, Maryland, and Washington.
The gun is covered under PTR’s limited lifetime warranty.

Would you consider the JACK SBS FS as a home defense option, or do you prefer a longer-barreled platform?
