Solid. Reliable. Fun. Got some caliber conversions to try out! Well worth the $! Reviewed By: John H on 02/23/2020 Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

The 20 GA version that I received in error is a well made single shot firearm. Reviewed By: Paul T on 01/25/2020 Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

Nice little 12 gauge! Arrived in perfect packaging, on time as promised. I have not fired it yet, but I am sure it will do fine. I have enjoyed purchasing with Bud's over the years, they always hold up their end exactly as they say they will. Still cannot find a better price than Bud's either!

The Midland Backpacker 12ga is a well made, simple design. Machined from solid steel castings and deep drilled steel bars.

It's compact size and folding ability lend to a package that is easily carried and kept in a small package.

The single barrel, single shot shotgun has long been a system that is rugged and dependable in a sporting, survival or property and self defense roles.

The available conversion inserts available from Short Lane and other sources allow the use of 20, 28, 410 as well as several pistol calibers including 9mm, 38 special, 45acp, 40 s&w and others make this firearm extremely versatile in many applications.

The fact that the Backpacker is threaded for Beretta/Benelli mobile flush mounted or extended chokes further adds to it's capabilites.

The unit I received is in pristine condition. The fit and finish is excellent and the action locks up solid .

The trigger is heavy but not excessively so. The safety is positive and the cocked indicator is a very nice touch.

The metal finsh is a black hard chrome instead of standard blue which should lend to it's longevity.

At this price point I believe you'd be hard pressed to find this type of firearm at a better value.

Love this thing. High quality construction that uses Baretta choke tubes. Might buy a 410 next time. Reviewed By: Dan K on 03/19/2019 Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

Like the gun,great service.....on a side note if your planning on using, Gun adapters.com adapters,they do not fit if there older adapter....I'm told the newer ones have been redesigned to take care of the problem, I have an older 45lc 5" adapter that does not fit I'm told the forcing cone starts sooner on the Turkish guns....so if your planning on using your older and longer adapters with this gun you will be disappointed.

Like the Midland Backpack due to the Mobil Choke system. It allows some modifications such as Improved Cylinder over Modified. The light weight is something to consider if 3" Magnum shells are your favorite. Shot with 2 1/4 and 2 3/4 shells. Younger shooter like no hammer and a cross bolt safety. Great instructional tool to teach new shooters. Reviewed By: Frederick E on 02/26/2019 Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

Delivered to my FL quickly. Zero problems Reviewed By: Otis D on 02/18/2019 Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

Wonderful Single shot 12 ga by Midland. Works well very smooth operation. Shoots all shells put into it. Compact design makes it easy to put away. Will be a great truck gun, fishing gun. I have not been much of a hunter in the past few years but I'd wager a guess that it would serve well in that capacity. Buds was great. They quickly shipped the gun to my local FFL - who are great to work with also. Price was cheaper than found elsewhere. I will do business with Buds and Midland again. Looking forward to what Midland has planned down the pipe. Reviewed By: david s on 12/10/2018 Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

Exceeded all expectations in customer service and Product. This is one very fun gun to shoot. Excellent quality especially at the price. Many features. I ordered the 12ga.18" barrel. Took it out Sat. and had a ball. Hard to believe a shotgun weighing a little over 4lbs could be this much fun. Recoil no where near what I expected, actually on the mild side. Shot a box of training ammo and 15 rounds of 00 Buckshot. Plan to do a lot of shooting with this gun. So easy to carry in the woods. Folds up to a very small package. Love the fact that it is threaded for Beretta mobile chokes. Can't wait until other barrels and center fire barrels are available. My trigger was very nice. No take up and about 6lbs if of pull with Lyman Digital. This shotgun is truly a "Great Value". Highly recommend them. Show More Reviews
