Short Lane 12 Gauge/.22LR Sub-Caliber Adapters

My folding 12 gauge Hatfield shotgun makes for a great base for a survival type firearm. To add to its utility, I contacted Short Lane to try out some of their sub caliber adapters. Let's take a trip to the range and see how these things work!

i love my adapters. i have a .22 and 9mm 3 inch unrifled and a 209 adapter. love ease of use and increased ability to use other calibers

[@jamesvolo7948]

By rifle standards, the 8 inch rifled adapter seems to work quite well in terms of accuracy. Pretty much like carrying a pistol barrel for use in your break-action shotgun, and no less accurate than firing slugs. Costs as much as your gun. Love the stock storage. Thank you for the test.

[@brotherbruno1783]

My adapter gave me the same results at 7 yards as it did at 10, maybe a 2 inch group with a bead sight. At 15 yards the pattern opened up to about 5 inches, and at 20 it was about 7 inches. At every distance most if not all rounds keyholed. Its nice to have in a pinch but this is more for a trapline than for any kind of precision shooting. 10 yards or less works as intended. Any further and you are pushing it

[@MotoSavant]

Thanks for the video and results, but I'll admit I didn't hear a word you said for the first 4 minutes, which I spent morbidly expecting you to bump that shelf and dump a set of nice 45's on the floor.

[@booliganshootingsports]

Lol, they were very stable on there.

Nice I love the videos

Serious question: ever shot low brass or smaller shot? 12 ga #4 is going to have a better chance of hitting and be small game lethal at the same or better range. I'm just not seeing a function here that can't be accomplished with a variety of 12ga ammo vs multiple calibers.

[@alexispadilla2606]

22 is cheaper to just shoot and in a shtf scenario this would be useful

[@phoenixrising4573]

The 4 or 5 pieces of shot in a squirrel from #4 are not a big deal. Been hunting them since I was old enough to carry the gun in the woods that way...mountain from a mole hill. THIS is still not more useful shtf. A gun like an H&R with a .22 barrel and a shotgun barrel is useful, or any other break and swap..... that little pistol sniffer length thing shoved inside a shotgun barrel is to short. .22 is not cheaper if you have to shoot 10 to hit the target. The longer one isn't optimal either, but at least has SOME barrel.

[@Bearsdenadventurues]

your missing the point brother it makes the shot gun universal in a bad situation now you don't have to find 12 gage you have 5 other options and in a bug out situation i can put 500 rounds of 22 in my front pocket. and last but not leased its just dang fun out pinking

[@ceheisler]

What sights do you have mounted to the rail? And where did you get them from?

[@ivicamilosavljevic4706]

I didnt used those things, but as my knolege goes with some 9-10 inch (20cm +/-) ypu will have siđiđar velocity with any ahitgun anmo, cause there is fast burning NC powder ... Rifled bullets needbsome kind of more preciae aiming device, to be useful... And lenght of the barrel insert to gain speed... Doable, existing, but is it needed!? What can You do with it ..?

[@cjrogers1524]

What sights are on that shotgun?

[@johnfessenden3771]

Off hand?

[@rosarioluongo4424]

Dove si possono comprare questi adattatori?

[@davidgordy1]

I went to the site and for the price you could almost buy all the caliber firearms for the same price as the adapters. Just does not make sense to me.

[@booliganshootingsports]

How so? The rifled 3" .22lr adapter I used is $45. The "Stack-N-Pack" kit to use 20 gauge, .410 bore, and .22lr cost $65. So the ability to shoot 12 gauge, 20 gauge, .410 bore, .45 LC, and .22lr for $110 plus the price of the base 12 gauge shotgun. Where are you finding a 20 gauge, .410 bore, .45LC and .22 LR firearms for $110 combined? Their most expensive individual adapter (long barrel 12g - .17HMR) is $125.

I think the keyhole might be a good damaging projectile especially at close distance on a zombie 🧟‍♂️

[@jaighter]

because zombies exist. right?

[@ronschannel5409]

Jaighter no they don’t but bad people do exist and worse than zombies 🧟‍♂️

Sure would have, but unfortunately, I don't have a private quiet range to shoot at.

There’s not much that a “good” mic can do when shooting at a public indoor range with 50 other people, lol.
