Tell me about your experience with the Standard MFG. DP-12. My LGS has one on the shelf that they would like to move. I'm seriously considering buy it! I've never dealt with Standard Manufacturing. Is the DP-12 reliable? Roger | ||

| Thank you Very little  |
Haven't, but really interested, been thinking about a KelTec KSG or KS7, bullpup shotgun as a HD option, even the KSG410 might be good. | |||

Buddy had a KS7, high brass #4 shot was quite the solid thump, borderline painful. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I didn’t know what it is… The first of its kind, a premium defense, double barreled, pump, 12 gauge shotgun that quickly fires 16 rounds. Damn! Let us know what it’s like! "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Son, lives in CA (one of the few he could buy) bought one a few years ago. Accessorized the crap out of it. Range time was un exceptional - no hiccups, little recoil, a blast to fire. Sold it as he thought it was a little over the top and bought a CA-legal AK. | |||

The question is how much do they want to move it?? It’s a lot more clunky than the KSG but probably a bit better built. We had one that arrived not functioning. For some reason foreend would move back and forth but it never would move the bolt and the safety selector just spun all the way around without ever activating the safety. Gun went back and they fixed quickly. Gun sat for a very long time before someone actually bought it. I want to say they were going for like $1500+ years ago when they first came out. PSA has them for $1k now. Not really looking for something of the sort myself so $1k is way too much for me. But their customer service was great. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand.

It definitely has the cool factor going. I just watched a 7 minute video on it. Looks like you shoot twice, pump, and twice again. Think it would take some getting used to, in fact in the video, the guy shot twice, then flinched when it didn’t go bang on the third shot. Don’t think I would use it for home defense, but would be fun to shoot. P226 9mm CT Springfield custom 1911 hardball Glock 21 Les Baer Special Tactical AR-15 | |||

I tested it and the KSG12 (10-15 rds through both) and went with the KSG12. KSG7 felt like a toy to me, so i ruled it out. The DP12 was very well built but it was ridiculously heavy. Hopefully you held it when you saw it. If so, imagine what it's like fully loaded. Sometimes too much is just that...too much. It's actually overbuilt in my opinion. I chose the KSG12 because pricing is more in line with what it is and there have been several revisions since inception, so the kinks have been worked out. The weight of the KSG is ALOT more reasonable and overall it just felt better to me in my hands.

Standard Manufacturing is owned by Tony Galazan and I wouldn't purchase anything made by one of his companies. As for why, if a gun has a manufacturing defect that defect is NOT covered by the Warranty. Below is just a snippet of the Terms of Service from the Connecticut Shotgun web site but it's an informative snippet. Take note of item 13. If you sue him for refusing to correct a really hosed up shotgun and win a judgement in Court against him he expects you to pay for the cost of that judgement and his legal team.
I've stopped counting. | |||

Interesting. As I mentioned before got a bum gun from them and they were very cordial and easy to deal with. Paid shipping both ways and asked no questions or made no qualms. Just fixed the gun and sent it back. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand.
