MaxGunsIssue - While I try to be open-minded about new weapons into the market, I must admit that sometimes underestimate. A new shotgun with bayonet, laser and smoke launcher? Not in the list of top 10 things to see. However, I let myself fall into the trap that the DP-12 shotgun. This is a mistake, the DP-12 is not my first (and fair) thought it was. It is a well-made fighter that deserves further consideration.
Raise the standard
Located in the city covered trees in New Britain, Connecticut, Standard Manufacturing Company hums along perseverance. Installation of more than 100,000 square feet planted in the middle of the Connecticut Valley, which is the heart of the US weapons development for decades. One product that comes in the door of this company is the DP-12 shotgun unique and innovative.
This 12 gauge shotgun combines the best of two worlds: the pump action and a double-barreled shotgun. A stroke pumping action to support two rooms, which can be pulled to trigger successive draws; canon law first and then left. DP-12 using a double-barreled weapon configuration with inline power shotgun. While it is far more complicated than it sounds, DP-12 is like two shotguns combined into one.
Each barrel started as a completely solid steel bar. By grinding and work carefully, very bored barrel and equipped to exacting standards. These qualities are the product of a unique collaboration between the standard and Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Manufacturing Company is famous (MHCC). Famous for high-end hunting shotguns, CSMC offers insight and support for DP-12 weapons manufacturers. This relationship is one of the factors responsible for the quality of weapons. Using modern manufacturing techniques combined with the expertise of a long, DP-12 is the benefactor of a strong relationship.
"It's a 12-gauge shotgun combines the best of both worlds. The shotgun and double-barreled"
Threaded barrel for reactors as well as spacers for law enforcement and military breachers. Receiver machined from solid billet aluminum. With precise and tight cutting, the original 7-pound aluminum block converted into light and solid base to build on. This design increases the pistol construction, durability and reliability, one of the most important aspects of any firearm.
Fully charged, the gun holds sixteen-inch shells 23/4, with seven in each tube magazines and two in each room. The rooms were polished with micro for the sole purpose of enabling the use of 12 caliber ammunition in the market. This is important because the Standard understand that people will not always look for the best ammunition is on the market. Most of the ammunition arms purchases driven by price.
The gun also has a pistol grip, a foregrip to facilitate handling of the pump, and the lock release action ambidextrous safety lies in a position similar to AR. Shares are comprised of spring, buttpad unique and ingenious reduce recoil. This layer rotating plate DP-12 highly maneuverable and fast. The gun also includes the top rail substantially for mounting sights and other accessories such as lights and lasers, sling and assembly points are included in the stock and close the mouth, on both sides.
Time span
Then a distinguished pedigree and manufacturing high-end calling card good, it will always come into operation on the beach firearms. DP-12 was not disappointed. With a variety of ammunition ranging from high-end ammunition shells that can withstand the most reliable weapon I, DP-12 is not blinking. Pistol is a different experience than any other weapon I fired. Inspire couples quickly with a speed gun which I was not expecting it. The only thing necessary for the preparation of the second shot is repeated trips. Although I have a semi-automatic shotgun class with time, I believe the monitoring cycle in the DP-12 is faster than any other weapon, I pulled. While controlled shots clear goal, that gun reminds me of a Ferrari that prefers to run fast. Triggers on the DP-12 is another area that shines as an example of the relationship with MHCC Standard. MHCC built some of the best double-barreled shotgun in the world; namely that the company knows the trigger is an understatement.
Matching the trigger is the pumping action of DP-12. It was deliberate, smooth and firm. With beautiful race fast, it's easy and quick to the gun in the struggle. No precipitation or play in the action, reflecting the smooth handling and tracking shots more quickly. I was running tens of thousands of rounds with a 12 caliber shotgun, and this is one of the sweetest acne that I know. A decrease in the reduction of the pistol grip device glad to shoot. While the afternoon shoot a gun is not the reason for reporting sustainability, DP-12 ran perfectly. I do not have any damage, even after a "speed gun" so I can not count the ammunition.
Cover
Although this shotgun will fill a variety of roles, I believe that the DP-12 can revitalize a gun instead of a pump in law enforcement and the military arena. With its bullpup design, this gun is very easy to run in close proximity. And, coupled with a large capacity of 16 rounds, making the weapon that may remain in the fight. A piece of the puzzle is the ability of DP-12 to be fitted with spacers for violations. Typically, the arms are used to violate the gate, and then stored. DP-12 this change. Finally, guns are easy to draw. Regardless of what people may claim, there is a general fear of the gun; 12 decline in the caliber are the source of many an ice pack over the years. Recoil reduction device incorporated in the stock DP-12 significantly reduces the sharp crack a lot of experience with the use of guns. With training, which can allow the shooter even the most timid of the ability to effectively lead this fight-stopper quickly.
There will always be a traditionalist hardcore in the world of firearms. In fact, I consider myself one of them. There's something to be said about innovation, however. DP-12 is a unique creature in the area where the "new" usually means the company has changed the color of the finish. It is a new type of gun that will take some getting used to for those who get one. Handling of different weapons from the old school pump shotgun, but that does not mean it is bad. I remember a similar discussion when SAR Tavor hit the market a few years ago, but people have adapted quite well to it. I believe that the advantages of the DP-12 is greater than the learning curve that goes with it. To improve accessibility, standard production even started distributing arms directly from the headquarters in Connecticut. If you are like me and initially refused this weapon, it would be worth your time to look at both.
