The first Izhmekh pump-action shotgun was the IZh-21, a clone of the Remington 870 introduced in the 1960s (circa in 1964). As of current knowledge this model was produced until the late 1970s in small numbers. The number of IZh-21 shotguns actually produced remains uncertain.
In the late 1980s, the Izhmekh introduced the IZh-80 pump-action shotgun. It was special in that it could use two different types of magazines: an standard 4 round tube magazine, and the additional 4-round detachable box magazines. The IZh-80 is was designed specifically for the Soviet military. Although it was produced in small numbers, and even then officially put into service, no further orders followed, and it was discontinued.
The Baikal IZh-81 was developed in 1993, based on the IZh-80. It was the first Russian pump-action shotgun which went into the mass production, to compete with other shotgun designs on the open market. The IZh-81 was serially produced from 1994 to 2000.
In 1996, the IZh-80 was "rediscovered" as the IZH-82 shotgun (also known as the "Baikal MP-131K"). The MP-131K also featured a selector switch for switching from a magazine tube or box magazine. The MP-131K was introduced for commercial sales, but never gained popularity, and was eventually also discontinued.
The Baikal MP-133 appeared in 2000 as an modernized version of the IZh-81. It is similar, but has an adapter for magazine extenders. Later, the Baikal MP-135 was released in 2013 as an updated version of the MP-133.
Please check the talk page for additional variants not shown on the main page.
