The first Izhmekh pump-action shotgun was the IZh-21, a clone of the Remington Model 870 "C" Grade, introduced in the 1960s (circa 1964). According to 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, Izhmekh introduced the IZh-80 pump-action shotgun. It was special in that it could use two different magazine types: a standard 4-round (or 6-round with extension) tube magazine, or a 6-round detachable box magazine. The IZh-80 did not have a feed selector; by default, shells were fed from a tube magazine, and when the box magazine was inserted, the feed was switched to that. The IZh-80 was designed specifically for the Soviet military, and even put into official service. However, it was produced only in small numbers, and when no further orders followed, 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 mass production, to compete with other shotgun designs on the open market. The IZh-81 was mass-produced from 1994 to 2000. The IZh-81K and IZh-81KM variants were also produced, which were distinguished by feeding from detachable box magazines. Unlike the IZh-80 and MP-131K, the underbarrel tube on the IZh-81K and IZh-81KM was used only as a guide for the forend.

In 1996, the IZh-80 concept was "rediscovered" as the IZh-82 shotgun, more commonly known as the Baikal MP-131K. The MP-131K also featured a selector switch for switching between the magazine tube or a detachable 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 a modernized version of the IZh-81. It is similar to the IZh-81, but has an adapter for magazine extenders. Later, the Baikal MP-135 was released in 2013 as an updated version of the MP-133.
