Winchester SXP - Full Review

[@zacbell4661]

Awesome video... Keep up the good work, l love the channel 👍

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching Zac :)

[@fabiopicci2375]

👍👍👍🥰🇮🇪

[@txwingnut62]

I bought the same gun mostly to have a loaner gun for friends (that I didn't want them to scratch up my good guns). I found the length of pull too short as well (guessing it's 13.5 inches). I called Winchester customer support and they sent me 2 spacers, each 1/4 inch long, free of charge. So, this made the gun perfect for me and I used it as my primary shot gun for dove hunting last year. This gun will shuck shells on it's own with no help from the shooter (just keep your hand off of the forend). Kind of neat. Great channel.

[@petterdalbyvesteras7428]

I have shot over 400 rounds in my sxp and it has suprised me its a good shotgun. I recomend it

[@thektmdude8832]

I just got the Winchester SXP

[@johncotter2008]

I'm getting one as a Christmas gift to myself. Thanks for posting. You can't beat the price and quality of this gun not to mention they make left handed ones for people like myself who have limited choices.

[@jameshealy4594]

Hey mate, I think it's what you meant but the fiber optic doesn't exactly charge up, it gathers a large amount of light through the sides and focuses it onto the end, providing a very bright aimpoint for the conditions. Enjoying your content, I like the variety and it's nice to hear from our original overlords instead of 99.9% of firearms channels being American (not that there's anything wrong with being American, just nice to have a different perspective).

[@roddy1899]

Just bought an SXP after seeing your videos for the best part of a year. Very pleased so far! Cheers mate.

[@TN-pw2nl]

Thanks from Tennessee, USA. I hit clay targets better with a pump than a semiauto. I think it’s due to rhythm.

[@Voyager-077]

I love my Mossberg 500 field 28 inches barrel and my Stoeger M3000, you should try them If you get the chance, they are very very good

[@johnt-r6133]

I have a FAC SXP and no problem with the stock, or different cartridges, seems to eat anything. But the magazine tubes does loosen for me. Although only had it for a 2 years , still think its value for money compared to other options. Always a pleasure to see your videos :)

[@simonbodle]

Bought a Revo Field Pump new for £250. Great fun to shoot compared to my other guns. Cheap Turkish gun but seems well built and kills birds. At that price no need to be too precious about it!

[@srspower]

Exactly.

[@FFUURRSSAANN]

Turkey makes one of the best guns now great value for the price you get much more for your money. Winchester SXP made in Turkey is very nice light weight great price & better then the old heavy ones made of steal which may also rust.

[@gregwalker4236]

very good review! the sxp, to me, is one of the better looking pumps out there, although it has not been available where i shop during covid. if it comes available, i wan 't the trap model with the longer bbl. this is kind of a single shot pursuit anyway. all kinds of pumps and semis seem to have feeding problems these days with a variety of makes of shells resisting smooth operation.

[@baikal627]

luv the pigeon shooting sir

[@StampECompany]

thank you very much. i am shooting this shotgun for the first time tomorrow.

[@Coral813]

My gun dealer keeps trying to push one of these on me each time I think of getting another pump but after seeing this I'm glad I kept turning it down.

[@WiliiamNoTell]

Why do say that.

[@johnterpack3940]

Blows my mind to see a non-American gushing over guns. I mean, I know some other countries do still allow some forms of firearms. But for the most part, all I ever get from auslanders is lectures about how evil we are for liking guns.

[@zerowiki9341]

Been a subscriber for quite a long time, your vids are really informative. I even went along to the shooting show in Feb after seeing it on your channel 👍🏻.

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching :)

[@zerowiki9341]

im hoping to get a SGC soon, then i guess its the long winded task of trying to get a permission somewhere!

[@machinegreen1911]

The Turks actually make some good quality firearms. They've been in the business for hundreds of years. Good video though.

[@kenahmeraz2510]

Real good shotgun, goose hunt with it, only problem was saftey was stuck but wd 40 fixed that

[@GQ-yb5kt]

Good review you showed me everything about it!

[@kingduckford]

The little i've heard offhand about the Turk Winchesters have never been that great, and the cheap Winchester shotguns in general. I inherited a Winchester 1897 from one grandfather and a Winchester 1200 from another, and I'll take the over century old hammer gun over the cheapo newer one any day. Winchester has had its issues over a long time with its name being placed on cheaper stuff, good to hear you've had a positive experience. I'll have to say, though, Invector chokes and all, after getting a BPS 10 I think if I get another pump some day I think I'll go with another Browning, all things considered. But, its always tough to turn down a well priced one instead, and the R870 and Mossberg 500 have never done me wrong either....

PS enjoy your old school 1897 with a fixed choke and 2 3/4 chamber! lol.. real wise comparison, I can tell you really know your guns 'not'!

[@christoFlair777]

Great video buddy!! And good shooting!! I just picked up the defender pump, in green cerakote 🤓cannot wait to shoot it!!

[@christoFlair777]

Thank you!! Keep vigilant!!

[@meee2014]

my experience with it has been terrible, you said yours was fussy with feeding shells, mines consistently doesnt feed no matter what shells. its a single shot shotgun at this point.

[@alexpearson8481]

Thanks for the honest comment. I’m in the market for something like this… if you had to do it over again what direction would you go?

[@meee2014]

@@alexpearson8481 i dont know, i havent bought a shotgun since. only rifles. not sayin shotguns are bad, just havent tried others

[@HerrenGamingNews]

I love this shotgun but it has a lot of recoil because of the aluminum and polymer do not use slugs with this if you value your shoulder at heart it’s a waterfowl gun and a great beginner shotgun

[@MrDannyJohn]

I look at the same gun but as you mention it was too short I found. I settled for a revo venator 2+1 £335 same Turkish made

[@srspower]

An extension solves that problem.

[@RTRtrooper2014]

Cracking video mate. just got rid of my FAC Mossberg Maverick 88 shotgun. I cant wait to get my SXP on my FAC (its gonna piss all over the Mossberg). I am gonna get that low drag follower when I get my SXP (might save the extension for later when me wallet recovers).

[@srspower]

The low drag follower from nordic arms is great, highly recommended.

[@nelsonr1467]

Mossberg is bettee than that garbage.

[@krishanaspect9038]

I am thinking of this for practical also? How is it with practical in mind after these few years

[@johnvlahakis8960]

So far, as far as I'm concerned, nothing beats a browning.

[@Ontarioyakangler]

I am 12 and I was thinking about getting this for my first shotgun for waterfowl do you think it would work or not.

[@billwilliams4640]

great informative video.I love the typical old western type Pump action, and the price is good and the smooth action aswell.I'm hoping this year when the virus is over to join the local clay pigeon shooting club in Preston, to get a bit of grounding then i'd like to do some real pigeon shooting on a farm. when your're pumping the gun does it interfere with sighting best wishes Bill

[@williamalanwilliams8182]

great video again pal, for clay shooting is your O/U shotgun better, because they say you should not take your cheeck off the gun and you should always have contact? it's just a question, I mean i havn't any experience just what i read..thanks..Bill

[@devildog3246]

Excellent video. Very nice job.

[@The_Annoyed_chef]

Bought one last week.

[@jellybryce7742]

Good stuff as always.

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching :)

[@mushroom330]

I love mine, Bought it thinking it had a plug in it, But turned out the mag tube is crimped. Doh!! Nevermind, Bit of a fingerprint magnet though... Wouldnt rely on it to save me from zombies though, Would rather use my old USSR Baikal over/under, Bloody thing will last forever

[@ljp200]

Come hunt the Ocean and you will find that even a gun like this really needs a good cleaning from time to time I take mine apart here after the season and clean every small part of it, I even pull the trigger assembly apart in order to clean it, sand and salt will kill any gun. A smaller clean is still required after each hunt. On the cartridge issue I have found that it is somewhat sensitive to rust on the cartridge but if you want to ensure good workings with high brass shot just put a little oil on them before use, (also protects them from rust but that is not an issue on land)

[@srspower]

That's the one advantage of this gun, it is very easy to take apart and there really isn't much to it. Very simple design.

[@ljp200]

The trigger assembly is a lot more complex than the rest of the gun but if you never get into salt water there is literally no reason to ever clean that part of the gun.

[@ranmangolf]

Great video. You mentioned that the shotgun is finicky on type of shells, high brass. How well does this shotgun do with buckshot or slugs? Was the challenge just with yours or have you heard the same from anyone else?

[@Mike-or7xv]

I have the same gun and the only cartridges mine has had trouble cycling is the cheap ones I got from a clay shooting place. I’ve never used slugs or buckshot so I can’t comment. But I’ve ran 3” magnums high brass through mine without any issues ever. Hope that helps a little. 👍🏻

[@MarcoFromTropoja]

I know this is a old comment but my sxp defender loves winchester ammo the most. Fiocchi works well too. I did run this one imported brand of 00 buck through it and it jammed my mag tube up when I was loading the 5th round. It was a pain in the butt to dislodge it. So im going to just stick to main brands like federal, winchester, remington etc

[@swampjoe1985]

I've had some great Turkish guns. Erry one hates on em

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

Good review mate - on a completely unrelated note, i have permission to snare and shoot rabbit (air rifle) on a horse paddock (horses not currently in the section im snaring) owner would like a fox snared there. i dont hold a SGC or FAC i have a mate that does is it a it tight of me to find the fox the morning and leave it snared the hour or two it would take for him to arrive? or do i have other options, obviously i would like to keep the permission happy| cage trap? or transport? its probably a stupid question so be kind lol

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

question open to anyone

[@srspower]

Without at least an SGC I wouldn't even consider it. What if you're mate can't come? What are you going to do then to kill the fox without a shotgun?

[@darrellmiddleton6615]

Winchester SXP

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching :)

[@ljp200]

The slam fire issue was only with the 12/89 (3 1/2inch) guns and was the reason I had to wait almost a year to get mine as we only import the 89 version. It was as far as I have heard an issue with firing pins being just a little too long, so a production issue.

[@srspower]

Yes I think it is resolved now.

[@alanob99]

Did you have any trouble getting the follower out? given the crimp in the tube to keep it 2 plus 1.

[@timward8335]

nice video again bud well done. my mate has an sxp and i love it. still trying to get him to sell it to me lol. his is the 3.5 inch magnum one i think 2+1. weve used it quite extensively with all different shells no problem. its strange yours is fussy. im hoping ill own that one day when he gets bored of it lol. have you tried loctiting your stock to stop it moving? i had the same problem with my mossberg so i just loctited it job done. keep up the good work cheers

You can get the SXP defender with a shorter barrel and five in the tube, but then it come under a cat B licence which is more regulated.

[@NickBurman]

I'm thinking of buying one for Practical Shotgun, kitting out with better sights and mag extension. Partly because I saw your vid shooting PSG with it, partly because it has a very good price (479€ here in Italy against 900€ for a Benelli Nova) and partly because it has very good looks. How difficult is it to get a mag extension in? Is it tough enough to withstand PSG?

[@srspower]

A mag extension is very easy to fit and will work pretty well provided you make sure to put a clamp on it and use a low resistance follower with a new spring. I must say though I would go for the supernova if I were to do it all again. Keep an eye out on whats available second hand because a broken in super nova is a fantastically well built piece of kit.

[@NickBurman]

Thanks for the reply. You don't have an idea how difficult it is to get a suitable gun for PSG 2nd hand here...lots of used shotguns for sale, 99.9% O/U or side-by-sides, Italians being great hunters and top-of-the-pile clay shooters. It is very hard to find a used semi-auto or pump which could be used for PSG...the few I have found in used gun sites (including some new ones at hefty discount prices) I saved the links and I'm crossing my fingers that they don't get sold before my ticket finally (and IF) gets issued! Most pump shotguns here are of the defense kind, with no chokes. The SXP is one of the few which has... My choices so far are the Remington 870 (I have found a second-hand one with interchangeable chokes), the SXP and the Nova for pumps, and the Beretta 1301 for semi-auto.

[@ronpettit3200]

Were did you get the spring and the follower

Does the bead come out on this shotgun?

Great vid. How tight do u tighten your magazine cap? Because if my cap is loose at all, then my barrel has a little bit of wiggle.

[@kpl455]

Did you have to sand anything off inside the mag tube before you could install the mag extension?

No it’s a section 1 shotgun not section 2.

[@kpl455]

@@srspower what is section? Sorry can you explain?

[@srspower]

@@kpl455 section 2 is a shotgun licence. Section 1 is a firearm license. Because this has unlimited capacity it is a ‘firearm’ and requires a firearm licence.

@@srspower I think we misunderstand each other. My question is if there are some metal nudges in in the mag tube that need to be removed before the extension can be put on. I heard the SXPs have that, but I am not sure.

Here in the States, it's a fear to become like Australia or the U.K.! So obviously you ARE allowed to own firearms but what do you have to go through to be able to own one? And aside from shotguns, what else are you allowed to own? And are there restrictions to what types of shotguns you can own? Like are you able to own more "self defense" or "combat" type shotguns? Like with 18.5" barrel and different stock and foregrip, etc.?
