How Much Is a Standard Manufacturing DP12 Worth? (2026 Value Update)

How We Calculate Used Standard Manufacturing DP12 Values

Standard Manufacturing DP-12 value is affected by its condition, model, and accessories or upgrades.

Condition and Value

Secondhand firearms are always worth more when in better condition.

The condition score is generally assigned by an expert appraiser or professional. Many of them charge a fee for this service, but you can get a free gun appraisal from us if you’re a gun seller.

To see how we professionally evaluate your firearm (for free) and turn that condition into a payout, view our 3-step selling process for a guaranteed FFL offer.

How We Appraise DP-12 Models

There are several possible models or configurations of the DP-12 from Standard Manufacturing. Here are the ones we see often in the resale market.

Standard Manufacturing DP12 Value

The average used Standard Manufacturing DP-12 is worth $400 to $1,000. A new DP-12 sells for $1,400 at retail.

The standard DP-12 shotgun, now on its second generation. First and second-generation specimens have the same value, and the main difference is that the second gens are lighter.

These come with an 18 ⅞” barrel, optic-ready barrels, and chokes. You can find them in black, OD green, and FDE finishes – they’re worth the same either way. There’s also a California-compliant version with 10-round capacity (vs. the standard 14).

Standard Manufacturing DP12 Black & Gold Value

The average used Standard Manufacturing DP-12 Black & Gold is worth $650 to $1,300. A new DP12 Black & Gold sells for $1,800 at retail.

This is actually the same gun as the standard or base-model DP-12. The difference is the finish: black paired with gold accents for added flair.

Standard Manufacturing DP12 “The Works” Value

The average used Standard Manufacturing DP-12 “The Works” bundle is worth $600 to $1,300. A new DP-12 “The Works” bundle sells for $1,800 at retail.

“The Works” refers to two special DP-12 bundles that Standard MFG offers. They include items like a red dot reflex sight, tactical grip with red laser and weaponlight, MOE rail sets, door breaching chokes, and so on.

The bundles have some variation in what they contain, but they always contain the shotgun and are worth the same.

Standard Manufacturing DP12 Gold Value

The average used Standard Manufacturing DP-12 Gold is worth $800 to $1,800. A new DP12 Gold sells for $2,600 at retail.

When you want to put an eye out without even firing a shot. This is the DP-12 in an impossible-to-ignore golden finish.

Standard Manufacturing DP12 Professional Value

The average used Standard Manufacturing DP-12 Professional is worth $1,000 to $2,500. A new DP12 Pro sells for $3,200 at retail.

The DP-12 Professional is the version designed specifically for military and law enforcement users. Unlike the standard models, this has a mil-spec hard anodized finish on the aluminum frame, PVD coating on wear surfaces, adjustable reflex sight, and lifetime warranty.

The front grip, Picatinny rail, and mag followers are all in heavy-duty aluminum. It’s also fitted with hand-lapped bores and chambers, aside from being hand-built.

This is a model that holds value well. Because it’s a premium firearm in the line, we use a secure gun shipping and buying system to ensure every transaction is fully insured and legally compliant.

How Accessories Affect What We Pay for Your DP12

Some excellent-condition and quality accessories can boost a gun’s value in resale. Of course, it will be up to the buyer. Most buyers aren’t interested in accessories and only want the gun.

If you can’t find anyone to sell your DP12 and accessories to, contact us. We often buy accessories and even ammo!

Original Box and Papers

Like the gun itself, worth more if in superb condition. They’re usually cardboard, so don’t expect too much even then.

Value: Around $8 to $20 for the matching box and papers.

Standard MFG DP12 Case

Standard Manufacturing makes both a heavy duty transport case and soft tactical slip-in case for the DP12. The former is worth more, at about $140 (the soft case is about $50).

Value: Around 20% to 40% of the accessory’s original cost.

Optics/Red Dot Sights

Good optics can be sold fairly easily with the gun, as it comes ready for their installation. Expect to sell known ones (like a Romeo or Mepro) faster.

Value: Around 30% to 50% of the accessory’s original cost.
