Having some sort of flashlight is literally the most important characteristic of any defensive weapon. You HAVE to know what you're pointing your gun at. It's more important than what sights you have. It's more important than even having sights at all. It's more important than ammo choice, grips, stocks, anything. It's literally priority number one as far as accessories. The one and only thing that's more important than a flashlight is practice.

Tw things: 1. Dogs are members of the family too 2. What about a sling?
@LuckyGunner8 жыл бұрын
I like my dog, but the guilt I would feel if I accidentally shot him would pale in comparison to the pain and psychological torture I would endure if I accidentally shot one of my kids. I understand the sentiment, but I prefer to make a distinction there. I'm not a big fan of slings on home defense guns. First, you probably shouldn't be carrying it anywhere because you shouldn't be trying to clear your own house, especially not with a long gun. The shotgun is a "bunker defense" weapon when you can safely stay in one spot and engage an attacker only if they come to you. If you must move around the house, turn on lights, open doors, etc, a handgun is a better tool. But even if you were to be mobile in the home with a shotgun, the sling is going to be more of a hindrance than a help. It would really suck if you were trying to check out a bump in the night end you end up getting disarmed by a doorknob that snagged your sling.

I'm enjoying the shotgun videos immensely. I was kinda afraid of picking up a shotgun because I'm not a huge dude, and I'm intimidated by the 12 gauge recoil. But... you don't look like a huge dude either so you give me confidence. And the clue about adding a shorter stock. So I picked up a Mossberg 590, put a 12" Hogue stock on it, and I'm ready for my first trip to the range! (I've been shooting for about 35 years, so not my FIRST trip to the range, just my first SHOTGUN trip to the range.) :-)

Australian Eugenics Expert As much as I really don’t want to get into a debate about guns in the US... I feel like alarm systems act more as a deterrent than an actual line of defense. You’re right that a criminal can and has done that. But it’s most likely to scare away dumb criminals and you’re left with the smart ones breaking in. Smart criminals are going to plan out when you’re not home and break in then. A shotgun really has no benefit there. Sometimes yes. Someone will be dumb enough to break in with an alarm system while you’re home. That’s extremely unlikely from my experience and at some point it’s better to accept the loss and have nobody hurt or killed than to pop em’ in the head or chest at short range. But you know shotguns are nice for other uses so I’m not saying no to having one for fun and keeping it for home safety also.

From my experience with lights, using a surefire for end dedicated light would be a better choice than adding a separate light to the forend. Reason being, if you have ever shot a 12 gauge with a light as close to the forend like shown in this video, the recoil will make that rack come back and dig the light in to your hand, which is painful. I've done it to myself more than once when I practiced at the range, bought a surefire dsf and never had that trouble again. Just my .02

Most burglaries don't, some do, and if you're unlucky enough to have that, or, alternatively, you miss, having more rounds. The entire point of the gun is to prepare for the worst case scenario, because if you have to pull a gun in the first place, it's already a pretty bad situation. It also gives you more room to fire warning shots if you deem that a good course of action.

my bed room has what I call an airlock between the door and the living room which takes around 3 seconds to run across so I have two ammo tins tied together, if someone walks through, they'll knock them other so i have some time to reach my hi power and aim. by the time the person comes in, my eyes have already adjusted to the lighting conditions well enough to aim without squinting

The only qualm I have is the sight. I am much faster with a bead, I can make very good fast hits with slugs at 50yd, and solid hits at 100yds, both much much further than any distance in any house I have been in.

+Moto Rad Not everyone has great eyesight. When you get older your eye sight deteriorates, consequently a sight upgrade is really necessary. I can't use the bead sights anymore, so I am switching over to red dot sights and I love them.

Also have you ever tried shooting that way in very low light? That bead can get really hard to see way out there. Also there is a reason the military is going to optics. Those reasons apply to rifles and shotguns equally.

Richard Lamoreaux That is a good consideration. I have never shot slugs in low light. I would prefer a red dot probably, but I don't think I would benefit at all in that case from ghost rings. While optics would provide a benefit, ghost rings would not (for me).

Bead sights are trash. I switched to ghost rings and they’re tremendously better than the antique beads, which all but disappear in low light and are next to useless in a CQB scenario, and are laughably ineffective when using slugs. Ghost rings rock and are the only way to go on a true tactical shotgun. Great video!

Which delivers more stopping power? Slugs or Buckshot?
@LuckyGunner8 жыл бұрын
+Jake Norden Both have a very good track record for stopping attackers with a single upper torso shot. Two in some rare instances. Slugs typically have more recoil and tend to over penetrate, so buckshot is preferred for home-defense. Slugs are better when you need to reach past 25-35 yards, which is more relevant for hunting than for personal protection.
@bradmakesgains87796 жыл бұрын

Good info. Sounds Iike I've got my bases covered pretty good with my Remington 870 tactical magpul express. 6+1, streamlight tlr1s, mesa tactical 6 round side saddle. I learned not to keep it fully loaded all the time, my magazine spring lost alot of tension. Just ordered a heavy duty spring and will only load it with 7 before bed and keep 5 loaded otherwise.
@abc456f8 жыл бұрын
+westmichile88 I can only relate my own experience but after keeping it fully loaded for months the spring lost all its tension. Used to be when I'd unscrew the mag cap the spring would fly out. After several months I'd unscrew the cap and the spring didn't move. Replaced it with a wolff heavy duty spring. It's all moot now because I'm keeping an m and p sport 2 ar 15 by my bed at night. After doing alot of research I discovered that the 00 buck pellets from a 12 gauge will over penetrate more than .223 hp from an ar. Plus it's much lighter to handle and I have 30 rounds instead of 7.
@FLippssalot8 жыл бұрын
+srg914 I think Mike lamb recommends #4 buck for home in regards to over penetration. One could say it delivers enough penetration to get the job done without being too insignificant. If a shell can't penetrate a wall at house distance, might be questionable whether that'll get the job done.
