The TOZ-87 is a Soviet/Russian semi-auto gas-operated shotgun. Development began in 1978 as the "MTs 24-12". In the late 1980s, the MTs-24 competed against the TTs-22 (more known as the "second generation" MTs-22), another gas-operated shotgun, for the role of a new mass-produced semi-automatic shotgun. The MTs-24 was declared the winner, and TOZ began producing the gun in 1990 under the TOZ-87 index, with the transition to mass production in 1993 (the TTs-22 was produced in small quantities from 1989). A "Cruiser" version, the TOZ-187, was also created. It is distinguished by the factory pistol grip (with the possibility of attaching a folding stock) and shorter barrel.

The TOZ-94, a pump-action version of the TOZ-87, was developed in 1994.

Starting in 2005, the TOZ-87 has been replaced by the modernized TOZ-88, however, this was subsequently discontinued (in cca. 2013).
