I think I recall seeing it a Thad Scotts it had a pretty bad reputation mechanical wise I heard tell.


The DC12 is mechanically an MX8 because it uses the same trigger group. No mechanical issues besides breaking a spring every 10K to 15K shells, which can be replaced within two minutes in the field. If you aren't interested in the leaf spring trigger, they offer a coil-spring trigger group which will last substantially longer.

The only other competition-quality comparison would be to a K80 which is more complicated design and doesn't have field replaceable springs. Krieghoff recommends that the K80 be sent in for annual maintenance. It's a give and take from Perazzi vs. Krieghoff. I prefer the simplicity of the MX8 trigger group that's field repairable vs. annual maintenance of Krieghoff. Sort of a moot point, because Krieghoff doesn't make a SXS based on the K80 trigger.
