Shortie Shotguns: Norinco 14" HP9 vs Dominion Arms Grizzly 12.5"

[CanuckShooter]

Which would you recommend for a shortie shotgun on a budget between the Norinco 14" HP9 and the Dominion Arms Grizzly 12.5"?

Any pros or cons one has over the other? Are they both totally interchangeable with standard Remington parts? How do they compare in fit and finish?

Thanks!

I own a Grizzly and just happened to see an HP9 last weekend at a gunstore.
Other than a different stock and magazine plug the two look identical.
Even down to the type of markings and their locations.
While couldn't make a side by side comparison I would hazard to guess they are manufactured in the same factory.

They are the same gun.
I have worked on many of them, good base gun to work with.

BBB is right. A couple things I have noticed...

(1) The Grizzly does not say "Made in China" on it. At least mine doesn't, it was from the first batch with no choke tubes.
(2) If your looking for a short shotgun, go with the 12.5 inch barrel.

Cheers

Hint:

12.5" is shorter than 14"!

14" can hold one more round with a mag extention
