I just got my Tokarev, I went with the marine one, but otherwise the same gun. It’s been great so far. Used this review to decide on purchasing it so thanks! Pretty unbelievable deal for the $270 I paid
positive on getting a TX3 for my first personal firearm after handling one in a store and seeing both of your reviews, thank you for the great explanations and details. im thinking of getting the marinecote finish aswell
A home-defense shotgun that comes with chokes is unusual, but I like the idea of being about to concentrate birdshot and have more stopping power. I live in an apartment building, so shooting buck or slugs could create a serious over-penetration risk.
I bought a SDS TX3 hd in blue like this one soup cause I saw your unboxing . My fist pump action shot gun . What are the dos and donts on this take on pump shot guns? Can I pull the trigger on a empty chamber and dry fire with it ?
@@CA.0verview Yes, compleely safe to dry fire most shotguns. As far as dos and don'ts there's much you can do to ruin a shotgun through normal use, they are a solid tool. Glad you like the shotgun, I own a few and this one is the best for me because of the shorter length and compact feel without a lot of recoil. Very happy with it.
Fellow mainer here, i watched part 1 unboxing. Nice shotgun.. im awaiting my tx3 hammer which is a downgraded version of this gun. I plan on upgraing to a magpul tactical stock & pump grip. This will be my first 12 guage. Awesome video!
It’s not a Winchester 1897[been looking for a WW2 Trenchgun] but it sure as hell is nice. Your previous unboxing video gave me a closer look at it and by golly it’s won me over! I especially like the adapter for a bayonet because, why not!
It's such a great buy. The bayonet ... yes, got that for sticking it in cabbages and shooting them point blank while stuck on the blade to make cabbage confetti. Thank you for watching, it is really appreciated!
Funtastic! You will enjoy it, I've been shooting it every weekend since getting it .... it's performing. Thank you very much for watching, I really appreciate it.
Super! You should really enjoy this one, I shoot mine every weekend since getting it. No problems after a few hundred rounds. Very nice smooth broken in action ... enjoy! Thanks for watching, very much appreciated. Thank you.
Yes, the Marine ones seem to be $260 - $300 online which doesn't include the FFL Transfer fee and the shipping cost. So yeah if you find it locally for what you are paying that's great and te best deal. I got mine from Battelhawk Armory for $204 in the matte black. Should have been $240-$280 .... thank you for watching by the way, come back and let me know how the Marine one's fit and finish is and how it shoots. I'd really be interested in knowing your opinion.
I am beyond pleased with it, my other Remington 870 clone is much heavier, this one is surprisingly light and very easy to use and carry. What a great buy!
@@megatrends i had an 870 police magnum once and i sold it because i have a smoothbrain i regret it so i got the tx3 HMD as a replacement and yeah as youve said its much lighter and just as good if not better

Subbed. Just placed an order for this after watching your’s and Richard Mann’s reviews. This really looks like a phenomenal gun for the price. Hell, even for a higher price but 🤫 I won’t tell.
Wow, that's good news ... let know what you think after you have it out at the range. Thank you very much for subbing and watching, it is very much appreciated.
You can probably buy a 870 extension tube wave washer from Wilson Combat to hold your mag extension in place, it's only 3 bucks. I have one of their +1 extensions on my H&R Pardner Pump it uses the same wave washer.
The mag extension is sold by SDS Imports on their website and is a product of Tokarev's. They also sell the bayonet lug on the same website. If I remember correctly each sold for $25 apiece.
Great review video. I'm sold on buying one. But at the beginning of your video you said with the mag tube extension, you're able to get 6 + 1. But it seems that you're able to get 7 + 1. Did you modify your mag tube spring to get the 7th round in the mag tube?
No, no mods. Depends on the shells. Usually I can squeeze in an extra target round type shot shells. Magnum or slugs not so. I’ve had the same results with my Maverick 88, can get an extra one in if it’s target rounds. They are a whisker shorter and adds up to about a shell length. Thanks for watching. I have never modified a firearm mechanically other than trigger groups …. People mess with their stuff on CZcams all the time but I’m not a fan.
@@megatrends well after your review I just got my tokarev TX3 today. It's a beautiful shotty that wood furniture is a work of art. But when you first got yours, was your barrel difficult to remove. Mine doesn't seem to want to break free when I'm disassembling it. I'm doing as the instructions say. That forend doesn't want remove the barrel from the frame.
@@simeonnava8868 no it was not difficult to remove once the magazine cap is unscrewed. I'm not sure what problem you are encountering. All I can think of is you are not sliding the bolt part way open because if you don’t on any 870 clone the barrel will not release. I believe Tokarev has a video on their CZcams channel or it may be SDS Imports channel.
Yes, the infamous manufacturer tax for firearm companies …. I get it. Hope you’re enjoying the shotgun, I absolutely love mine. Let me know what you think…. Thanks for watching.
Love the gun and want one, but what if it breaks. Im assuming you cant get spare parts. Unfortunatly that one little thing will keep me from purchasing.
I cannot answer that ... I'm not going to worry about it because a good smith can make it work. Th shotgun is a basic Remington 870 design but does not utilize the same ejector spring system which is actually good because the Remington is a rivet and gun smith repair type deal for the ejector. The extractor seems basic like other shotguns I have in the 870 mold. I realize this doesnt answer your question. Perhaps calling Tokarev or SDS Imports and asking would be of benefit.,
It's available on the SDS Imports website for $25 so go to sds imports dot com ... youtube is funny about links sometimes and removes them. Thanks. SDS Imports dot com
Good question, if everything is the same excpt barrel lenth I would say yes. I cant imagine they would make it differently but Im going to search for video and pics since I own this one and am familiar may recognize difference.
I brought up some hi rez images of it and it based on the same receiver and forend so I would say yes it would work simply because retooling a factory for the same gauge and making it different adds a lot of cost ... looked the same to me in pictures.
No problems at all .... nothing. It's perfect. I actually like it more than my Maverick 88 by a little. The Mav is a great shotgun ... Thank you very much for watching, it is greatly appreciated.
@@megatrends Nice thanks for the reply appreciate your response. I’m definitely gonna buy one of thease. They have a few for sale here in California for 350$. I was also considering that maverick 88 I like the pistol grip one.
Steel ... I'll eat my shorts if it ain't. But seriously, just double checked ... very happy with this shotgun. Thanks for watching also, means a lot, very grateful ... cheers.
@@megatrends Thanks! The reason I asked is because my shotgun has the exact same receiver as yours except mine is aluminum and I have a synthetic stock. I was surprised how light it is. Not good for recoil for sure. I saw another youtuber saying the that these are not safe to fire slugs out of. I'm not sure if that's just the aluminum receiver guns or all of them. I haven't tried it with mine.
@rangemasterken My brother has the Marine and I have this one in the video and many slugs have been fired. There would be no reason for slugs to have any issues even if you used a choke that the too small. The slug is lead and will shoot anyway but over time will ruin the choke caused by excessive wear. I'm sure you know that anyway ... we've also shot magnum rounds with no issues. My Maverick 88 has an aluminum receiver and is lighter, agreed with the aluminum lighter thing.
@@rangemasterken Speaking of that we are shooting a new Tristar break down model over under 12ga shotgun tomorrow with removable chokes and nice choke kit, sells for $400 at Walmart and I will get a review of it up this week hopefully.
Yes, target 2-3/4 you can fit 7 + 1 if you use the mag tube extension available on their websbite. Ive also instlled the bayonet lug also avaiable on the SDS Imports website.
Yes, the mag tube extension adds rounds, i can get 7+1 if it is target p/small game rounds. Magnum rounds or 3” I get less in there. Highly recommend the mag tube extension sold for it on the SDS Imports website. Also check out the bayonet vid with watermelon and cabbage shooting lol. 😝 thanks for watching. czcams.com/video/_CSgwG6_ju4/video.htmlsi=B8HIGLxIpicpTUr0
You could use it for that but it is a self defense tactical style shotgun modeled after the military styled old school trench gun. Also has a shorter barrel made for close encounters …. Does have barrel chokes however so could be used for your dove hunting needs but not ideal. I got a good grouping at 100 yards with steel birdshot which did surprise me with the medium mid choke.
@@justinpennington7682 I did on a sand dune and would have been sufficient for bird hunting with steel shot. Research the difference between choking and shooting steel birdshot compared to lead bird shot. At 30 yrds you can get a single large hole in fact with steel shot and one should not use the tightest choke for shooting bird shot as steel shot turns a medium choke into a tight choke as steel is unforgiving and doesn't deform. Thank you for watching and commenting. Here's more info www.ammunitiontogo.com/lodge/lead-vs-steel-shot/#:~:text=We%20fired%20Winchester%202%20%C2%BE%20%238%20shot%20with,in%20the%20center%2C%20even%20making%20one%20large%20hole.
@@justinpennington7682 I don’t shoot paper targets. Several gongs 25 to 50 yrds to one 12” gong at 100 yrds plus surrounding terrain. The person had specifically mentioned bird hunting and asked about grouping good enough for hunting birds or small game with this shotgun. I felt the answer given was appropriate for what was asked. 😃
Fine video--plain vanilla, right to the point, good info. Loved it! One gap I think? Does this baby have dual ejectors/extractors and action bars? I might have my terms screwed up; I DO KNOW 2 are better than one; need to find the vid that'll clear the fog. Seems like the SG's can have both "E" types. And maybe I'm a pr**K, but what does shooting water do? Besides make a mess. BUT, ultimately do what you feel--it's your SG, your vid. I'd LOVE to see you shoot targets, use the diff. chokes. I know that chokes help at time, if you over choke it'll mess up your pattern/ degrade it?? I believe I understand he diff's between the shot types ; a small # means more actual pellets, vice-versa for the large #; I know birdshot allows a bird you bag will to have enough meat LEFT on it. I'm a bit confused all over again re: overpenetration! (Big deal on an AR indoors, like your house). Maybe I just plain forgot what I already had learned; A GUY BELOW MADE A COMMENT, and I'm thinking, "HUH"? Does shooting slugs & HIGH FPS cause over-Pen?? I just ordered this EXACT type Tokarev TX3 12 HD Pump, and the more I see/here, I'm excited.I had looked & sweated over all the other types like REM, Moss, Tristar, Beretta, & Benelli, and then this guy pops out of nowhere. AND WHILE THE COMMENTS ON SOME OTHER TURK. MADE GUNS WERE NOT CONSISTENTLY GOOD, THE REVIEWS ON THE TOK TX3 HD WERE JUST THE OPPOSITE. NEVER have had or fired an SG before. I wanted the Marine, but ran out of time & Classic Firearms ran out of them, so.... I reckon I'll have to oil it or use one of those preservative type bags?? Buy the Marine vers. anyway later? (I also tried to get a Panzer EG 200- but they wer O/S on it too-Took too long to decide) Don't recall if there was a price diff. This SG has SO MANY features for a silly-low price; how do the TURKS do it? Sling mounts, butt pad, rail, sights! Just the EXT. Tube thing he mentioned--the REM by comp. needed REAL WORK to add the tube--and then U R stuck w/it !!I'm glad I ordered the WOOD type--the black really (COOL-must admit) Tact. looking is all the rage (maybe Camo?), but I like old RETRO/nostalgic. Not sure about the shells he was firing, like 2 3/4, bad ass 3" ? I believe lower FPS would give less recoil, correct? (Or mini SG shells?) I did see the recoil wasn't bad at all, which is what I want yet, J. Beau is a decent sized guy, so all this added together + shouldering technique means less body action to the recoil. Well, TTG, said plenty.
Firstly thank you for coming by and watching. Shooting puddles shoots mud and water 30 ft in the air and makes me feel like Im ten yrs old. Pellet size, the lower the number the LARGER the pellets. It has a single ejector on the bolt face. My Remington 870 has a dual as you mentioned. No spring ejector in these ... no issues at all thus far.
Great video. Definitely one of the more in depth reviews of this shotgun on you tube. After seeing this, I'm absolutely buying one.
Hope you do, pleasantly surprised. I take with me most every week. Reliable and the choke capabilities puts a cherry on top.

I did see the recoil wasn't bad at all, which is what I want yet, J. Beau is a decent sized guy, so all this added together + shouldering technique means less body action to the recoil. Well, TTG, said plenty.
Firstly thank you for coming by and watching. Shooting puddles shoots mud and water 30 ft in the air and makes me feel like Im ten yrs old.
Pellet size, the lower the number the LARGER the pellets.
It has a single ejector on the bolt face. My Remington 870 has a dual as you mentioned. No spring ejector in these ... no issues at all thus far.
