Dehaan Shotguns Side By Side: Certified Quality & Versatility

Side-by-side shotguns have a timeless presence in both field and range; they reward precision, promote smooth follow-through, and offer a handling experience different from over/under or semi-automatic platforms. Whether you’re building a working gun safe, equipping a left-handed shooter, or adding a reliably built certified firearm to your rotation, the right side-by-side balances tradition with practical performance.

DEHAAN SHOTGUNS LTD. DE HAAN SHOTGUNS

Design & Build: Practical craftsmanship for real use

Made by Dehaan Shotguns Ltd., this side-by-side comes with a practical and shooter-focused spec sheet: a 3″ chamber for versatile ammunition choices, and a set of five choke tubes—CYL, IC, MOD, IM, and Full—so you can tune pattern density for anything from close-range clays to upland birds. The stock includes a left-hand cast grip, an important detail that puts this gun squarely in the hands of left-handed shooters without compromise.

Because this listing is a Certified Used Firearm, expect a piece that’s been vetted to high standards: guns stamped Certified Used are held to a “very good to excellent” condition threshold, and every purchase includes a ‘no questions asked’ return policy. That means peace of mind when you’re buying a firearm that shows quality and value.

Why the 3″ chamber matters

A 3″ chamber gives you flexibility. It accepts a broad range of factory loads, from light target loads to heavier 3″ hunting shells. For shooters who like to switch between clays and the field in the same season, that chamber length reduces the need for multiple guns or limiting load options.

Choke selection and ballistic utility

The five included choke tubes are central to this shotgun’s versatility. Here’s how they break down in practical terms:

• CYL (Cylinder): Fast patterns for close work—good for flush bird shots and home defense drills where a wide spread is desirable.
• IC (Improved Cylinder): Slightly tighter than cylinder, useful for short-range upland or sporting targets.
• MOD (Modified): The workhorse choke for mixed-range shooting—ideal for general hunting and many sporting clays layouts.
• IM (Improved Modified): A transition choke for mid-range targets where you need more pattern density than Modified but not a full choke.
• Full: Maximum constriction for the longest effective ranges with shot loads, best for driven game or when you need dense patterns.

Swap these chokes to tailor pattern density to your target and distance; having five options in the box is a substantial advantage for shooters who want one shotgun to do multiple jobs.

Handling, ergonomics, and the left-hand cast

Ergonomics matter. The left-hand cast grip in the stock is not an afterthought; it is how left-handed shooters achieve natural point and faster, more accurate swings. Balance on many side-by-side designs favors the centerline of the receiver, which helps for quick mounts and consistent follow-through. Expect traditional wood stock styling with functional form—good for collectors and active shooters alike.

Maintenance and ownership expectations

Because this is a Certified Used firearm, it will arrive in very good to excellent condition. Still, plan to run standard maintenance: check the action and locking surfaces, confirm proper choke tube torque and fit, clean bore and chambers after shooting, and store in a humidity-controlled environment. The ‘no questions asked’ return policy gives you an added quality layer—inspect on arrival and, if anything is outside expectation, you have a clear path for return.

Who this shotgun is best for

This De Haan side-by-side is ideal for:

• Left-handed shooters who prefer a cast grip that points naturally.
• Shooters who want one shotgun to cover sporting clays, upland hunting, and general-purpose field work.
• Collectors or buyers who want the assurance of a Certified Used firearm without paying new-gun premiums; at a price of $1,329.99, it represents notable value for a well-made side-by-side.

Accessories and set-up recommendations

Because the gun ships with five interchangeable chokes, start with Modified or Improved Modified for general shooting and add Full for long-range driven work. Carry spare choke wrench and tubes in your kit. For optics: while side-by-sides are traditionally iron-sighted, consider a low-profile bead or red dot solution only if it preserves the gun’s sight plane and balance. And always use proper ammunition rated for a 3″ chamber.

Choosing a side-by-side is about matching handling to purpose. With a 3″ chamber, five choke options, and a left-hand cast grip, you get a shotgun that’s adaptable and user-focused. Add the Certified Used designation and the ‘no questions asked’ return policy, and this offering becomes a straightforward buy for those who want dependable performance without unnecessary risk.
