Paul, in the Infantry, before we got telescoping stock M4 carbines, we used this short stocking technique w/the longer butt stock M16 A2 semi auto rifle when we cleared rooms in CQB / MOUT operations. . .the technique wasn't meant for a pump action shotgun. But if you had to use this technique w/a shotgun while clearing extremely tight quarters you'd ideally get off one shot before the opposition then quickly transition to slide the butt down into the shoulder pocket for follow ups. But we only used this short stocking technique w/the semi-auto M16A2 rifle in CQB during MOUT while clearing extreme close quarters. The M4 Carbine Rifle negated this technique due to a telescoping stock. Hope this lends some clarity to the subject. HOOAH.

It was called "barrel shortening" when I was in the USMC. It was done with M9s and M16s. Neither of which had the recoil of a 12ga. As a SAW gunner it was recommended that I use the patrol position which is the under the armpit and support hand pushing down on the barrel shroud. If I had to choose, I would go armpit if I really thought it necessary.

To make an obvious point (with apologies). With the "under the armpit" low ready, one can also brace/squeeze the longarm against the body. This will help some with recoil. With the "over the shoulder", the weapon floats more. This requires more strength to manage the weapon. Complexity under stress can contribute to performance failure. Likewise, as a once upon a time "educator", I'd prefer starting with something that works well for people of different ages, body types and sizes, and levels of fitness. The more advanced -- as they advance -- will find their own path and what works best for them.

After seeing this over the shoulder technique 2-3 months ago, I tried it with only one 5 round tube of shells. It was extremely awkward, inefficient, and produced poor accuracy for me. I realize that was not a fair test of a new shooting motion. However, I do know that I and any upland bird hunter and sporting clay shooter is very well practiced in mounting the butt of a shotgun from a below the armpit position. It is very easy to modify the starting position to under and behind the armpit and still mount the gun as you would when a covey of quail flushes. This recommendation from you seems to be a very good solution to reducing the distance the barrel is out in front of me when clearing a building or in a gun battle utilizing cover/concealment. Thank you.

1:40 - I did that to an SP one night when he unexpectedly stepped into the high bay area and started to pull his weapon up. It was purely instinct reaction to not let him do that. (I did not expect an armed person walking in with a long gun, I was expecting the pizza person.) The next few minutes (probably seconds) were intense and felt like hours. In the end, everyone agreed to forget it. 4:54 - It would have been better with the camera on the other side of you so we could see how much the stock kicks back in recoil. Of course, we know Paul has biceps like Arnold's legs (thus the bulky jacket always) so it probably doesn't kick back at all. 6:38 - Spoke too soon Thanks for an as-always excellent video.

I'm a 65 year old Marine. 0341 1975 to 1979. Semper Fi, Brother. I don't usually comment on your videos. However this one gave me some food for thought. Next time I take the home defense shotgun to the range, I'm going to try shooting from the hip just to see what happens. I've never advocated anything but firing from the shoulder and I've never trained for anything else... but you made me re-think that position in this video. I don't like those Shockwaves either. Don't own one. I can't imagine a scenario where it would have a superior application over something else I'd have access to - but I'd probably love one if it was all I had and needed it. Thanks for the demonstration.

Paul, the over-the-shoulder technique, in my understanding, is for the initial encounter. Then pump reload from a normal position. Then you return to the over-the-shoulder position before advancing. Just my take. Going to have to compare the two techniques for myself, as you have suggested many times.

I I don’t really think average Joe’s are capable of adequately handling one of those snubnose shotguns. When I think about it I remember over the decades all of the big tough cops around me that were terrified or hiding it of shooting a 12 gauge standard buck shot load. Nothing better than standard 870 and as many as could manage would not show up opt out or come up with some kind of excuse not to shoot it . I never could understand how some of that toughest blue suits would shy away from a simple shotgun and as few as six rounds🙄 Pretty much as far as I can tell they all made the one single stupid mistake it’s set them on that trail. They didn’t hold a gun tightly into their shoulder pocket and lean into it a tad. That’s the real key shooting those things especially in the very beginning when they’re nervous.

I can see the value of a Shock Wave platform when concealment is a priority but I'd go with a semi auto version, personally, so the gun can be fired with one hand if the need were to arise. That must take into account having a GOOD grip on the gun to ensure that the mechanism can operate properly with enough inertia and not short-stroke or outright jam up. Single handed capable would be valuable if you had an injured arm and unable to manipulate with two hands or if you need to corral/guide/assist children, elderly or injured people you end up responsible for. To me the biggest disadvantage to the ShockWave et al., is ammo capacity. You'd need a steady supply or cache nearby if you happen to be in a prolonged engagement. And that doesn't include how unwieldy the gun is to recharge with ammo, either. But if you NEED something you can discard once empty that has allowed you to break a violent engagement, sure, have at it. Personally I'd prefer some kind of shorty "pistol" in an AR platform form factor or same in an AK arrangement. 5.56 or 300 BO in the AR format and 7.62X39 or 5.54X39 in the AK. ALL are proven rounds and these days virtually all of them are reliable to the max. But gimme a full-size pump for social engagements if I KNOW it would be a perfect device for the pending task. I wouldn't feel undergunned in the least.

I had seen videos on this Marine half-stacking over the shoulder technique so we tried it out. We're no Paul, and we both found it as painful as it was inaccurate, and we both had a much better time firing from the hip and from under the armpit. I could see over the shoulder being good at point-blank if you were dead set on blowing someones head off, but beyond that we didn't like it.

If you *have* to move through your house (say, to pick up a child in another room), take the handgun. If you are waiting for the bad guy in a fixed position, use the long gun. Under Ayoob's theory, there is no reason to be pie-ing a corner with a long gun.

One other benefit of the over-the-shoulder is that it puts the gun in a very common position to reload. I'm not saying it's a good idea to use over-the-shoulder for anymore than 1 or 2 shots BUT it could be very beneficial to practice that technique so that if you are caught in the middle of a reload, you can basically just drop your shells and pull the trigger without moving the gun
