Some shotgun forends are smooth, this one is properly serrated to offer both abrasion and adhesion in handling. You may fire quickly with good control after a bit of practice. Use this leverage to help rack the pump-action and slam it forward, bringing the muzzle back on target. When you fire the shotgun, recoil causes the muzzle to rise. Leverage is good and a lot of effort isn’t needed. If the shotgun is cocked, press the bolt release and rack the pump action to the rear. The loading port is larger than early generation shotguns, making loading easy enough. Simply press 2¾-inch or three-inch shells into the loading port beneath the receiver. The tubular, under-the-barrel magazine will accommodate five 12-gauge 2¾-inch shells. The Dickinson line features a lifetime warranty. It is a bargain and has a pleasing appearance. The finish resembles chrome, but it is nickel, perhaps electroless nickel.

The safety operates in a positive manner. The Dickinson pump-action shotgun is well-made, the action is smooth enough, and the trigger action crisp and clean.

The knurled takedown knob is easy to use well.ĩmm handguns and 5.56mm rifles seem in short supply, but the supply line for shotguns looks good.
