For the price and utility they’re excellent gun. People shit on Turkish but the one I have is excellent maybe I got lucky but whatever.
I really like the look of the long pump on these

There's good and bad. Both of mine are glorious. Retay Masai Mara, and Canuck Operator. Been shooting over 30 years in the sport and impressed by these for the price.

I feel that. They are obviously not the most amazing but they are a hell of a bang for your buck

The typical canuck owner shoots less then 500 rnds a year, so they are likley holding up fine.

Gonna agree with you ; however this one has seen in excess of 2500-3000 rounds , mostly hand loaded / cast buckshot and it eats them right up. No parts breakages yet and it is reliable.

Shoots well for how I have treated and shot it- I wish I had your front sight.
I have a 12" barrel and they only put a bead on it instead of your high blade--- meaning it shoots 3-4 inches high and you need to bury the bead into the receiver (to the point you cant even index it) to be on target.
But- in terms of feed and shooting problems, after the first couple boxes I have never had an issue

I got a chinese 12" barrel for my 870 and it has this issue. Not sure how to remedy.

u/heavymetalhansel May 29 '26
from what Ive looked at we can get aftermarket irons.... It just really hurts that the aftermarkets Ive seen are 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the gun.
Maybe someone here has a different option

u/cliffordthebluedog May 29 '26
If you are up for a challenge you can drill and tap the receiver and get a rail with the ghost ring from Odell engineering. They sent me one for free cause I had the V notch rear sight originally. And replacement barrels do exist online that come with the ramped sights. Other wise it’s a soldering job for a gunsmith. But regardless it’s definitely possible.

After 2000 shells the trigger got a bit iffy on mine, but seemed to fix itself.

My dominion arms grizzly 12.5” shotgun is my favourite gun. I love short shotguns.

Mine been half a decade!
Got the wood handle defender version, though I would love if it had a ghost ring like yours! Oh well, the bead is alright
Bought the long barrel for it so I can switch between the 14 inch and the 28 inch depending on what I need it for

u/Honest-Ad-7077 May 29 '26
where did you get the 28 inch barrel? I was just considering the wood/nickel version today but am on the fence with spending a bit more for a winchester sxp defender

I got it from bullseye north! Look up canuck defender barrel kit and you will see them!
I've also used a 6 inch extension to turn my 14 into a 20 inch barrel for fun
