Description
The Standard DP-12 12 Ga Black is a shotgun chambered in 12 Gauge with a 75-inch barrel and a 14+1 capacity.
Standard DP-12 12 Ga Black Overview
Standard Manufacturing, of New Britain, Connecticut, builds high-quality firearms in the tradition of Connecticut’s historic gunmakers, from classic single action revolvers and 1911s to innovative designs like the DP-12. 75-inch shells in two magazine tubes and fires two shots per pump stroke. Fit matters more with a shotgun than with almost any other firearm, because you point it rather than aim it. Check that the stock length lets you mount the gun smoothly with your eye centered over the rib, and pattern the gun with the chokes and loads you plan to use.
A few trips to the trap or sporting clays field before the season will sharpen your swing and help you learn how the gun handles.
Design and Features
It has a compact bullpup layout, a Picatinny top rail, ambidextrous controls and an overall length under 30 inches with 18.9-inch barrels. Shells and chokes make a big difference in performance. Match the load to the game, from light target loads for clays to heavier shot for waterfowl and turkey, and pattern the gun at the distances you expect to shoot. Keeping the action and choke threads clean and lightly oiled will keep the gun running reliably for many seasons.
Handling in the Field
Enormous capacity in a compact package makes it a standout home defense gun.
Action and Trigger
One trigger fires each barrel in turn, giving two shots for every pump.
Sights and Optics
Mount the optic of your choice with quality rings or a mount, and zero it with the load you plan to use.
The 12 Gauge Cartridge
The 12 Gauge offers a good balance of power, accuracy, and recoil for its intended use.
Setup and Accessories
Set your shotgun up for its job: hunters will want a sling and a few choke tubes, clay shooters may add a recoil pad, and a home-defense setup benefits from a weapon light. Pattern every load and choke combination you plan to use.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner’s manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the shotgun and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner’s manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the action and choke threads. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
