“It’s a 5+1…..which is 6 by the way” 😂 that’s classic Hicock humor
Mine is a 6+1
I wish this guy was my uncle or grandfather or a close friend. A very interesting and intelligent man who has a wealth of knowledge and just loves shooting guns and loves the USA. I love and appreciate all the videos. Please never stop
I’ve said the same thing for years. How can anyone not want to hang out with Hickok.
Shooting on his range wouldnt be terrible either. Lol
Marry his son then... simple
@@evilnineteen I've always said I'd love to visit his range and have an opportunity to shoot with him.
Same ive never had a grandpa
His accuracy never ceases to amaze me - especially with pistols and shotguns
I have a couple buddies that have these. These are very under-rated shotguns
I have one. Love the way it shoots. No issues.
I have a regular Defender I put an ATI adjustable stock on. I like it, but it's one of those situations where the aftermarket is really the limiting factor.
@@justsomeguyontheinternet5331 I had a 1300 defender myself, very, very good guns.
I had a 12" hogue overmold entry stock on mine.
@@justsomeguyontheinternet5331 you can get all the major goodies for your SXP. Nordic components mag tubes fit, you got your ATI stock, just get a side saddle and a light, and youre golden! :)
I do wish the magpul stock was available for the SXTs though. I'd probably get one myself.
@@justsomeguyontheinternet5331 I feel like i've seen you in my comments section before. If so, hello again! :)
have a good night.
Glad someone finally covered this shotgun. When I bought mine there were 0 video coverage. Since then classic firearms posted a video and now this beauty.
For sure. I'm very picky and selective with my money. I like to look at, at least 3 videos on a gun *AND* read several reviews befor I go for it.
There are plenty videos on this shotgun though.
I like pistol grips. Helps reduce shoulder felt recoil, especially when firing 3" or 3.5" shells. I've even seen pistol grips with recoil reduction springs in the grip.
No one ever mentions that. Old shoulders would appreciate it. Well, mine would.
AA12 has entered the chat. Would be cool if those were obtainable, even in semi-auto.
@@toxicmatrix1337 The idea of a full auto shotgun is ridiculous :D
@@tolpacourt full auto and no recoil too! 🤣🤣 Thats gotta be fun.
Overall, not a bad shotgun for the money. It does what a shotgun is supposed to do.
Its a American design with the Winchester name but its made in Turkey. I love the sxp! Very reliable 👍
QC is done in Utah though, so you're still getting an American standard on all the specs.
It just needs to have a bayonet lug to make it complete.
Marine based
My father owns a shotgun with a bayonet on it, I've always thought it was badass but totally overkill.
Omg that's Exactly what I was gunna say! Yes! I second that.
Needs a cheese grater on top. Even if it doesn't need one. Black, for some much needed contrast.
What for? If they get past the 00 Buck you're done for anyway.. lol
May Hickok lives forever.
I felt the same way as you about the pistol grip. That’s why I opted for the ultimate defender, all black without the pistol grip. Have had it for almost 8-9 years never had any issues . Shot slugs buck and birdshot , ate everything up
I’ve got the regular SXP Defender FDE and it is the best $315 I ever spent. Action was fine to start but got positively slick after about 50 rounds. Turkey’s done fine executing the specs and I don’t know what else anyone could ask for at the price.
I bought one during the pandemic - I was looking locally for the cheapest pump I could find to use as a hideaway barn gun... Turns out I like it better than any of my other shotguns - it's the fastest pump I've used. Like you said, very slick.
Hello, love the FDE platform. Come with 18" barrel? Experienced any issues?
@@JamesWilliams-he4lbsame story here
The SXP recoil system however they do it is a really comfortable experience at the range..even with hard-hitting turkey loads.
My local store is selling these for under $250.
Edit: they're selling the plain SXP Defender for that price, not the "Extreme" Defender with door breacher muzzle device or whatever.
@Tom It's $398 at Buds. You can get the regular defender for low $200's when they run a rebate.
(Cries in Californian)
exclaims in nuyorkan@@Coldass
I have a Sears bolt action 12g that I bought for $25 in 1963. I've never found a need to upgrade
For many years I used a Winchester Model 12 to hunt Dove, Quail and Pheasant and recently picked up the SXP Field. Although I don't have the Model 12 anymore ( sad to say ), I found the SXP similar and am thoroughly enjoying it's similarities with use.
How are you liking that field? I just picked up an sxp upland field and I'm hoping to catch a couple cottontails with it
Dude the timing is so ironic. I just bought a sxp defender about 2.5 moths ago, mostly in part due to your first video on it. Just got a mag extension on it and I love it.
Where did you get your mag extension?
@davidguy7335 I got it online from choate. You will need to grind/file down the two metal tabs in the magazine tube or else it won't work. It's supposed to hold the spring retainer but it's not needed so file away
Always well spoken, informative and fun to watch. He is the Bob Ross of firearms
Great shotgun, I purchased one last year and it's been a quality shotgun at a very fair price.
I have a Winchester SXP Defender. About 10 years old. Works great.
Hickok's terrible humor is awesome. Love it :)
bought this a few months ago and i LOVE it. The picatinny rails are great too
I have the SXP Marine Extreme Defender.....awesome weapon.....almost racks it self it's so easy......I like it. Bought it a few years back for high 3's I believe....Everything is so high now....and I'm talking Stainless Steel for 350/375 or so.
Nothing like a little range time with the old scatter gun!
I own the Winchester sxp marine model and I freaking love it. Great gun to take on those extreme weather condition excursions or out the Texas rivers and lakes for protection against Chupra Cabras and the Llorana if the need ever arises. The fact that the Marine model stands up to the Texas humidity and wet weather while never rusting is a great plus. I've owed it 5 years and no issues except that loading the mag was a bit tricky when new. Now after very good use. The breach works great.
Thank you Hickok... I've said to my friends for years that I don't like pistol grips on shotguns.... they look at me funny... but I am what I am.
I don't like them either. It's not the looks; it's just that they make a shotgun a more awkward item to manipulate. Once the shotgun is shouldered and is being fired, the pistol grip is fine, of course.
@@hickok45 While we are at it.. id like to say thank you again for pointing our how practicality isn't always the point... I shoot my 9mm, and 45 colt pistols as steel at 230 yards routinely.. not because I can hit the target every time.. but its fun, and its really fun when I can pull it off. and who knows.. maybe that will come in handy some day... I enjoy your content, for many years now. thank you.
Hard to criticize hickock for anything - and this isn't really a criticism (you're awesome) - but one of the best things about those SXPs is the inertia-assisted pump and I don't think he showed it. You can rack a really fast follow-up with those things. Fastest pump I've used, actually which is impressive to me for a gun some would shy away from because they're made in Turkey. So fast you really don't notice the sound of racking the pump because the sound from the last shot is still in your ears. My regular SXP also cycles mini shells surprisingly well, too, which is neat.
Hickok, you look so much like my late Grandfather, the resemblance is uncanny. You both would have gotten along like clockwork. Bless you and your family Hickok45.
I'm a winchester 1300 owner. My first firearm purchase, she'll never leave my safe. Since the SXP line up is the "2.0" version of the 1300. It's an American designed shotgun made in turkey. I get the purist arguments, but really, the SXP and the 1300 and 1200 are great guns and are the reason I got into guns and hunting. They don't have the nice meaty shotgun sound when pumping it, but they are quiet while hunting
"Five plus one. Which is six by the way."
Thanks, Hickok! We hate math but we love you!
You can count the capacity on one hand ... If you're from Kentucky.
I have the model before it the Winchester 1300 speed pump defender love it great shot gun
This is the first shotgun I ever bought. I ran out to Cabela's the day I turned 18 and picked one up a few months ago. The gun is a really sweet shooter and it fits me really well. Ejection was a little weak though, so I took the ejector spring out and bent it a little and now it throws shells out at least 5 feet. Overall for the price, I think it is a great value and a good choice for defense!
Appreciate the review of this Shotgun.. Seems to run like a champ and looks pretty good.. 👍🦅🇺🇸
Seems like it’s hard to load. My Ithaca can be loaded in a pitch black room no problem. Runs smooth as silk.
Another awesome Hickok video!
Sportsman Warehouse has been selling those for a little over $200.00; I have a Benelli and some Winchester model 12's.
Shot at a friend's friend's private backyard range this past weekend. It was set-up being inspired by Hikock45's. Great time!
I’ve got the 1300, it’s pretty fantastic. I need to con one of my friends into buying the new model so I can see if it’s worth me picking up haha.
Basically did all the mods everyone wants, so you don't have to. Decent price for what you get.
Had a Winchester Super X model 1 12 guage back in the 1980s. Winchester made some great rifles and shotguns back in the day.
Hickok is that cool uncle everyone should have! Great episode as usual my friend!
I shot a 357 for the first time not too long ago and I fell in love with it. It was a Six Inch Smith. So fun!
Winchester SXP's are great shotguns. It's the upgraded version of the Savage/Stevens 320 witch even though it's made In China is still a nice budget shotgun.
Almost bought one but went with the Benelli SuperNova Tactical instead. Overall fit and finish is far better on the Benelli.
As always thanks for the info. I won't buy a gun without checking to see if you've done a video on it first. 👍
MY SXP cycles the 1 3/4 shortys like a boss. Wish you would have tried them.
If the NRA or any pro-gun group had an ounce of intelligence they would actually hire or have hickok45 be their spokesperson. What he says and how he says it means a lot as a responsible gun owner and gun enthusiast.
Didn't know Winchester had manufacturing in Turkey.
Thanks for the vid 🙏👍
The Winchester name was sold years ago. High end Winchesters rifles are now made in Japan.
That’s why it only has 5, unfortunately all shotguns imported into the US are limited to 5 round magazine. I think we need to change that.
Just purchased the black version basically for home defense...looks like it'll handle what I purchased it for.
Liked the pistol grip simply to take a little of the recoil away from my shoulder!
My neighbor never answers the door was the funniest thing I've heard in a long time!😂
Call me traditional But there's something about a beautiful walnut stock and a forend backed up by a deep blue Finish that I love about a shotgun I know that there's people that love guns like that I bought a mossburg 500 cruiser Something about that pistol grip I just didn't like so I bought a new stock and forend for it And wound up spending more money when I shouldn't of bought a shotgun that was made that way to begin with As always Hickok I enjoyed the video thanks
My .22 has one of those slip on recoil pads to give me the stock length I need. It makes a huge difference in being able to shoot straight.
Saw this at Buds in Lexington Ky last week!!! NICE!!!
My Weatherby was also made in Turkey 🇹🇷. I agree about pistol grips on my shotgun. I only have 1 out of 10 shotguns. Says a lot!
I have a weatherby 459pa and it's the best shotgun I own. Got it for 350 brand new during the worst of COVID where you couldn't find a HD shotgun anywhere, much less a good one. Have about 1500 rounds through it and not a single hiccup, even with crappy Winchester/federal bulk ammo
I fired both this and the Super Nova, I found the Benelli a better fit for me. Great Vid!~
My dad and I just picked these up today, I would say the quality seems to be just as amazing as some of the made in America products I have. We’re looking forward to hitting the range soon with them to see how they do!
Great video Hickok 45! While I'm mostly a traditional kind of guy when it comes to shotguns, meaning I like the traditional wood stock and blued steel finish, this shotgun is very cool and interesting.
The turks have made great shotguns for many generations
My Mom just ordered one of these things. Can't wait till to try this puppy out myself
I love pistol grip affordable shot guns for a change.
I like it except for the color... it is available in black!! But will stick with my Mossbergs and Cheapo Turkish special!! 😊
TY SIR, GREAT STUFF AS ALWAYS. JUST 1 POINTER, MAYBE SLOW DOWN ON THE POT SMOKE N !!!
I actually think that would be a good option for a beginning hunter. Perfect for turkey hunting, easy to put an optic on for deer to run buckshot, use rifles slugs or use a rifled choke tube (disclaimer: I have never used and have no familiarity with the accuracy of sabot slugs using rifles choke tubes). For the current prices of $416 it seems like a great gun for hunting.
Picked up new for $180 ‼️
Base model defender, that is. Extreme is still 300-400 range
Just bought one on a whim because it was $100 off good to see a review.
I have an og Winchester defender lotta shells through it. Adjustable pistol grip stock It works well with no issues.
Nice shotgun thanks for sharing Hickok45
Got SXP Field recently - a great value for the money firearm.
Imagine neighbours reaction when somebody would sit in front of tv and make his shootgun run smoother 😀
"Whatever you wanna do withit you know just screw it in there and you have a Turkey Gun
...
No pun intended" 😂
I own this exact shotgun and it looks 100% better with the heat shield on it.
Probably the only gun-crazy American I would feel comfortable around.
Cracks me up when he says let’s smoke a little pot 😂😂😂
I need one now😍
From the thumbnails I expected to see a brand new modern lever action shotgun, still seems pretty cool though
The SXP is one of the better Turkish offerings. It's made to Winchester/Herstal Group specifications and the quality control is quite good. It's actually an improvement over the old 1300 as the receiver doesn't flex as much and it has a chrome lined chamber and barrel. The only thing I wish they fixed is the safety location and changed out that cheap plastic mag throat which was always a weak point for the 1200 and 1300 series guns..
Is there a replacement option?
@MultiSweener Yeah, Numrich Arms sells replacement mag throats as well as Brownells but they are also plastic. To my knowledge there is no steel or aluminum replacement. It's a cheap part and I keep one or two on hand just in case.
@@wulfheard thanks
I have the SXP but not the Extreme. Seems like a great gun for the money.
Not going to lie, the FDE colouring on guns is really appealing to me. Especially after seeing FDE guns in RE8 and the Punisher in the 4 remake.
I think the Maverick 88 is the best home defense value.
Nothing like a shotgun at moderate distances.
Great test shoot pretty cool shotgun i bought the Charles Dyle ar 12 haven't seen too many video on it great shooting great video thanks Hickok 45
No.without a folding stock it's a silly bit except for small framed people who may need a rigid grip in a pump action for action shooting? I like the finish but, I also have a love of good blue steel and timber stocks.
Love the humor 😂
1:51 that whole explanation is classic 😂
I’ve always wondered what brand of rounds Hickok would recommend. He definitely seems to like Federal.
WELL DONE SIR 👍🇺🇸👍
First time hearing about a Winchester shotgun ‘ I have an old cop car defender, I really love to shoot it
Lol love the extreme pot smoking and neighbor comments cracked me up😂
I’m picking one of these up this week what are the chances you make a video on it the same week lol thank you!!!
Hey thats my favorite duckhunting shotgun. I love taht gun 😍😍
It will never be broke in like a model 12. They are all tight on the slide. I’ve already replaced the slide arm on my SXP after just 2 years as it broke.
I put maybe 10 rounds of 00 buck and a box of target shells through my sxp defender before the slide arms broke. Winchester took it and fixed no problem, but quite annoying to have a brand gun have to be sent back on the same day of purchase. A little gun shy to have it as a defense gun right now...
Greetings from Reno, Nevada. You’re too funny.
I love it when he "smokes pots". And why does the shotgun sound like plastic when he racks it?
I’ve heard that the Winchester SXP, Defender 1200 and 1300 shotguns do reliably feed MiniShells.
Funny that you mention the rear sight loosening up, Ive had mine for a year and lost the rear sight more times than I can count😂
Very cool video.Thanks Hickok 😊😊
Hopefully, FN Herstal brings production of Winchester Rifles and Shotguns back Stateside given their announced manufacturing expansion plans in South Carolina. That said;
My younger Brother had one. Emphasize the word "had". He was very disappointed because it kept on Failing To Eject every 8 to 10
I wish slugs weren’t so damn expensive! They’re fun as hell to shoot, but I always see the money flying out the barrel!😂
really great on the engraving.
thats an awesome belt buckle
Wow those trees sure lost their leaves quickly since the last video.
Thank you for this. I just ordered the marine version of this in chrome and black polymer furniture .
