DP-16 Double Barrel pump

[LowThudd]

Have you seen this thing? Pretty wild range toy. I wonder about CA law though, I can't think of how it might be illegal.

Each trigger pull only fires one shell, so there's no reason it isn't CA legal, just like the KSG or UTS-15.

I thought when they were announced they were supposed to be an exclusive through CTD, and that turned off a lot of people.

That is actually really interesting.

This is probably correct but

Each trigger pull only fires one shell,

this ^^^ is not the reason. That means it's not full-auto, which might be a CA and Federal problem.

CA appears to be treating such configurations as distinct 'ammunition feeding devices'; since neither exceeds 10, so far no objections are made.

Right. My concern is that they may see it as 'semi auto' between the barrel shots. But, they would have to make a new rule for this particular shotty. Which of course they have done before with the Franchi Spas.

How would they see it as semi auto? The trigger appears to operate just the same as a mechanical trigger(as opposed to an inertia trigger, and there is a difference) on an OU or SxS.

Call me a traditionalist, but "bang-bang-pump" just seems morally wrong to me.

Interesting but not sure if it's $1300's worth of interesting. Basicly a magazine fed, pump-action side-by-side.

[Sir Toast]

Pretty cool. I like it.

[altezza0927]

Pricey, been waiting for a YouTube review on it.

Well, if you don't mind the extra trigger you could just make yourself a remington 1740

I wouldn't own that if it was free!

The adage, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should" comes to mind.

I REALLY like the idea of these, but the price point just doesn't work for me. They were introduced at shot show earlier and only through CTD. At that point I decided it would never be an option. Even though it's through another dealer it still isn't... $1400 + transfer fees + DROS + tax?

No thanks, I'll get a 930 or, at this point a BR1919, since even that would be more affordable.

I don't see a problem that it solves.

Under stress, your skills suck

Did I pull the trigger twice?
Do I need to run the slide?
Or do I need to fire again?

Is racking more difficult as I am extracting 2 shells, ejecting 2 shells and loading 2 shells?

If you are use to a pump, this thing might drive you nuts.

^You ought to be training with your gun, so when you're under stress, muscle memory takes over. It really doesn't matter if it's bang-bang-pump instead of bang-pump. Know your gun.
