Episode 286 - Dickinson Shotgun Review

As Steve and John are big shotgun fans, they were asked if they would give the Dickinson Shotguns a try and to their surprise, they were impressed with the quality, reliability and shootability of the gun, especially when it's priced so competitively. Take a look.

Thank you! I haven't been able to find barely any information on these guns for months!

[@powerwashplus5803]

their service center so happens to be owned and operated by my head instructor from school. that is awesome!

[@mossbrg5]

Finally a video on shotguns from you guys! Thanks. Want more, more...

[@danreed7622]

Probably because they wouldn't know a shotgun if it bit them in the ass.

[@jeffreycase285]

Got one on clearance with walnut stock auto 212 for about $ 295 wish they had more at that price I'd buy em all! These are amazing shoot themselves clean and feel as good as benelli inertia system and pretty close to a beretta 391 two minor dings 1 plastic trigger guard doesn't matter really 2 the chokes it comes with are a bit rough and tend to scrape a bit of plastic off so you gotta pull the chokes and scrape the stuff off.

Hello from Turkey. The truth is Dickinson arms are rebranded akdaş and akus shotguns. They are quality guns especially the double barrel models. U can check their websites. www.akdassilah.com and www.akus.com.tr. I have the akdaş trap model. Wonderful gun. I am about to order the ak 212 ghost sight semi auto but not with the pistol grip. Hunting stock is interchangeable. These guys have been making shotguns for 100 years. Got nothing to do with leaving cnc machines. Just a business failure

I first saw the Dickinson at the gun store when picking up another shotgun (Benelli) and thought I would research it. Great video review! Very informative, very thorough and by experts, not novices. I wish it were transcribed as well as there are no professional written reviews on this gun. I previously owned an Beretta A300 which I loved and the Dickinson has very much the same feel. Your video was the deciding factor for me in purchasing the 212 inertia in black.

[@vapors750]

Randall Alexander the more I see of the Dickinson guns, the more impressed I am. I shot with a guy last weekend who purchased a Dickinson SxS 20ga and it was a beautiful gun.

[@IEraiderfan]

Good videonthanks I am going to take a hard look at these.

[@anthonygalliart1789]

I would love to see a review on the Dickinson pump hunting shotguns. There are many reviews of their Commando model or riot guns but none on the 28" vented rib hunting shotguns which also come with 4 or 5 choke tubes. I noticed budsgunshop.com has them for $167. talk about affordable. But no reviews are out there. Thanks for a great video

[@justincarp7041]

Need to get more stores carring them in idaho .. cant find any of these guns anywere ...but alot are looking for them

[@rocketbiologist6271]

I got the black walnut 212 a month ago at Big 5 sporting goods in Calif. $329 on sale. Was going to get an A300 but took a chance on this and been happy with it shooting trap. I put a hi viz on it and cut the stock back . Havent dealt with customer service but going to try to see about getting extra barrels . The SmithWesson and Kimber tie in was interesting . Hard to believe they just walked away from CNC machines like that .

[@KenKen-lr3ws]

Rocket Biologist Which big 5 in got yours from?

[@jmedi5589]

They all have them. Only thing is I’m only seeing the short barrel(home defense) version. I bought mine 2 years ago and it was the field version. It’s a sweet Benelli clone at a very reasonable price.

[@Mark-vw8sq]

Is this gas model 212g still in production? If so where can I purchase one?

[@justinwolfe8233]

@powerfactorshow is that the Break Free LP oil or the Break Free CLP spray?

[@plata_o_plomo]

Is this a T1000

[@SweetDDaddy]

Nice review and great looking guns. I'd love to try a model made for skeet.

[@ricks382]

@SweetDDaddy Hey, I know I am about 4 years late on this but, I didn't have a skeet gun at the time as I am generally a trap shooter so back in '17? '18? I picked up a Dickinson Green Wing O/U with a 26" barrel just because I wanted it for skeet. I popped a couple skeet chokes in it and, let me tell you, it is awesome. Light. Swings quick and easy. Only issue is recoil. Factory pad sucks. Get an aftermarket pad. Other than that... it can be had for under $600. (I got mine for considerably less back then)

[@SacoreyRugger]

what's your stance on building this into a 3 gun shotgun? any chance on seeing an escort review?

[@gnarshread]

I do love my Beretta and Rizzini however a cheap semi auto with 30" barrels would be a great buddy gun. And the Turks make some guns that punch way above their weight.

[@outdoorlimitz9191]

Where can i order one. Tank you

[@zeeyadYoussef]

This guy with the eyeglasses is always complaining

[@macknala4820]

The three musketeers talking shint😹

[@psych-op5lz]

Are all Dickinson shotguns life time warranty

[@richard9436]

Will Dickinson cycle shorty shells? 1.75"

[@scotgray2770]

Can these take mag extensions?

[@vapors750]

No. The end of the magazine tube holds the "piston rod" and in front of that is the piston and gas cylinder. You can't attach a magazine extension.

[@scotgray2770]

Ok thank you for your quick response

[@freedomrings4134]

Can anyone who has these guns give their experience. I am considering buying one and would appreciate anyone's input.

[@genesmiley3727]

I have a Dickinson 212 SR 12ga auto. Had it for two years, bunch of skeet rounds, 3 European Tower Pheasant hunts including one today. Dusted my share of pheasants using 2 3/4 High bird shells and 3" number 6's. Gun points great and shoots pretty soft. I was really suprised the 3" shells were so easy to shoot. Inertia system stays clean much longer than a gas system. think I paid $299.00 from CDNN. If you can find a 212 SR, buy it.

[@boodatexfan]

where are you guys located

[@vapors750]

Pacific NW...Seattle area.

[@tomhman6441]

I don’t think perfected is a good word to describe how these guns are made. You want a good gun buy a Browning or a Beretta.

[@raymondanaya489]

Much less intro music PLS!
