![More Stuff You Should Know About Buckshot [Part 2]](/img/tr.png)
I got so bored listening to OG flap his gums that I dozed off and if there was any thing of interest in this video, I missed it.
If only CZcams would come up with a way to scrub through the parts of a video you don’t like by tapping on one side of the screen or the other. 🤷♂️. Christ we’ve become a soft society.
Seriously! This was one hell of a good video, lots of excellent info. I no longer work for an LE agency and I can tell you I picked up or remembered vital tact. Come on man, don't be a Biden!
I don't think I need to come punching through the curtains to defend OG, s position but I found this stuff cheers me up.
I'm gonna choose to believe that since OG pinned this, Frank is a friend and they're joking.
@@livefree223 Frank isn’t joking. He was disappointed and took to the comment section to make sure the rest of the internet saw him as a fool who needs flashy videos and action sequences to keep him entertained. Hence my recommendation he seek out DemoLotion Ranch or Edwin Sarkissian. He’ll be much happier with those types of videos. Can’t please everyone on the internet. 🤷♂️
I live in South Africa.
This is currently one of the most violent and murderous countries in the world.
I have owned and carried a pump action since the early 1980's.
Thank you for an excellent demonstration, Officer.
It was an outstanding refresher course for me.
Never too old to learn, certainly not from an expert!
I am now a subscriber.
Stay safe, Officer. And thank you!
Awesome to hear from you Philippe. Glad you are well armed down there. I’ve heard its rough. Stay safe and thanks for watching. 😎😎
I have friends there that I hunt with and I watch the news with anxiety,, Bless you and your family and friends and stay vigilant and safe
It's because there are too many poes and doos out there.
I didn’t think people in South Africa were allowed to have guns?
Get some Rhodesian Jungle shot.
1st Half the shell is bird shot the 2nd is buck shot.
It's perfect for any work in dense bush
really good vid. forever I've heard 'just rack a shotgun, that'll scare them'. I've always replied, ' if I'm racking a shotgun for defense, I'm not trying to scare them'.
Correct.
If you're loading & locking, it's because you're in a life-or-death situation.
Demonstrations and threats are for when you are *NOT* in a life-threatening situation.
another overlooked point is that by racking You just gave away Your Position.
@@red9man2130 in a home defense situation, that's less of an issue. Sound echoes off walls, making the "given away" position less precise than you'd expect.
Yes, I've tested it.
As I mentioned in the video, I’m not worried about giving away my “position”. I’m going to have to rack this shotgun to make it work but I am not going to rely on that noise to drive away a determined home invader. Silly Internet myth.
@@red9man2130 Not a problem. Sometimes you might want to anyway, ie if it's just a burglar, they may flee if they know you're alert. If it's not a burglar and it's someone with more serious intent, you want to be ready a fast as possible. If you're in a bedroom with the doors closed and hear a breaking window downstairs, chances are the intruder wouldn't hear you rack the action anyway. I think it's one of those things where a professional burglar would probably behave differently to a junkie, so the pro wouldn't want confrontation & more likely to run than a junkie who may only be on nodding acquaintance with reality.
I never knew what “cruiser ready” meant, but that’s how I keep my shotguns stored.
I always thought that was how you were supposed to do it.
I thought he was saying "cougar"😳
I'm going to cancel my hunt... lol
@@mmnnra55 continue the hunt. Just leave the shotgun.
@@lbcelica lol.. you betcha🙄
I am a firm believer in a shotgun as the ultimate in CQB warfare, my choice is the Mossberg 590 with Winchester #1 buck 16 pellets instead of 00 , I like the spread and extra lead for maximizing the trauma , .30 vs .33 is not much of a difference and your gaining a lot more in return! Great video
16 pellets is a good choice for home defense, I agree
If you can find it
"If you didn't like it. Who asked you!"
You sir just earned yourself a like
nobody important cares what you think
“If your don’t like my choice of shotgun, I don’t care. “ My favorite line in the video.
Well anytime you put your opinion on the Internet you better standby for all of the people that think their opinion and choice of shotguns is far superior to yours. I throw that line out there just for them ahead of time.
Agree, there will always be someone who disagrees with you. Someone quick to say that X is garbage I prefer Y. Well Ok... good luck to you hero this is what I like.
@@OGsDangerShow the best shotgun is the one you are comfortable with.
@@OGsDangerShow but but but, how dare you not love my mossberg 590 as much as I doooo waaaaa. 🤣🤣 In all seriousness I do prefer the mossberg, it feels more ergonomic to me. And since you obviously asked for my opinion. 😜
Maverick 88 👍🏼😃
I respect you choosing to equip yourself with the same shotguns as your agency. My agency just traded in all their Remington 870s and went to with Mossberg 590s & 590A1s, so now our officers are going through transitional training. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication in making these videos, your efforts are greatly appreciated!
Thanks Shooter. Stay safe up there. You guys chose a better shotgun I think. When I retire I might train myself back to a 590A1. It was my all time favorite pump gun.
i know a former Bubble Head, Sailor, that told me the u.s. Navy issued them the Mossberg 590; for Pier Watch, Deck Watch. That is why i bought one. I hope to find someone close by that can help me learn how to handle this weapon properly. Thanks for all of your hard work. God's Peace.
I know I'm a couple years behind the times, but this video really helped my home defense situation. Especially the part about "cruiser-ready"
Glad to help. Stay safe.
The 12 gauge will always be my first line of home defense
12 gauge all day 👍
Thank you Officer OG, for taking your time to instruct us ordinary citizens. Between you and Mr. Paul Harrell, we have learned a LOT. Please be careful and be safe. God Bless our Police !
OG...you are a gem. Your tongue in cheek comments just cracks me up. So entertaining and engaging which makes it more valuable as it keeps viewers attention. Watched you for years on the "other" Tao channel. Thank you Gregg , Jeff and Danny for the hundreds of hours that you have entertained and educated us. You have no idea as to how many of us appreciated what you do to help us. Thank you Officer.
Awesome review of the channel, sir. Thanks for watching and subbing to both.
I appreciate your advice on the capability of your shot gun. Storing it on empty chamber with full load and safety off is the best way to go especially if you have just seconds to respond. Best video on the subject I've ever seen, thank you. Wishing you safety and good health.
Thanks for stopping by, Alan. Glad you liked it.
Damn sexy boomstick you have there.
Appreciate the going through "cruiser ready". Learned something new again. And thanks for the farawayer-messurements ;)
I really like the 'simple gun" series. That is the kind of guns most of us have. The thing is to learn to shoot but don't use gear as a crutch. You do good work here. Thanks!
Receiver pin wear: in the drumming world we call that "key-holed" when a cymbal mount hole wears from vibrating on the stand bolt; see that a lot on vintage cymbals. I love the velcro idea, simple genius and combat durable. Love your jokes and knowledge, I appreciate you.
Thanks Mark. I didn’t know drummers had that problem. Drugs? Yes. Alcohol? Yes. Bar Flies? Yes. But key-holing? Who knew. 🤷♂️
I agree with you 100%. I've been around the Ballpark, and I've always felt, if you could only own one firearm, a shotgun would be that one. The Swiss Army knife of weapons. Large game, small game, home defense and anything in between. Thank you and much respect Officer Greg!
That’s how I think of the AR-15. Shotgun is a last resort option for me
I was LEO for 30 years, during that time we changed buckshot loads several times. Double 0, triple 0 and #4 were carried over years. My favorite was #4, increased the probability of hits. Like you, I grew up in LE with 870 and my two go to guns are ones made in the 80's. Love your show.
Thanks man. Glad to have you aboard OGDS.
Number 4 buck is great for shooting in the house but it spreads too much and often lacks penetration. Out of a cylinder bore 00 is the most effective. In Vietnam the navy seals went to war with number 4 buck but switched to 00 after some failures of number 4 buck.
@@robertgordon9132 My department liked the #4 buck because of the probability of hits at distance. Up close it was devastating. No over penetration, which is concern in the city but not in Vietnam.
@@RBG-tr9ce thank you for your comment. That hit probability came from pattern spread which makes accounting for each pellet a nightmare for those who have to account for such. The last time I used a shotgun on the job I was using the flight control 00 by federal and my bosses were very happy to find all my pellets on target. I have nothing against number 4 buck but I have used it on deer and wasn't overly impressed with iits performance. I am a reloaded and fanatical ammo tester and have been for decades. Having shot countless hundreds or maybe even thousands of buckshot patterns through many different chokes I would leave number 4 buck for shooting indoors. That's based on my personal experience. I do know of people that have had different results than what I've experienced. Thanks again. P.S. I have always had more trouble getting number 4 buck to pattern than other sizes . I like my buckshot patterns to be as tight or tighter than the federal flight control.
@@robertgordon9132 Its good we survived as long as we have. God Bless
"Cruiser-ready" is how I've always stored a shotgun. I have no training, it just makes sense to me. Cool video.
Thanks for watching, John. Keep that thing close.
Get some training, please.
@@PhuVet Your comment is childish and ignores how life operates. 1. This video is training. 100%. 2. Most people do not spend money on training courses, they self-learn. Granted there is a learning curve with this. But with most things in life its how it goes. I was in the Army, I'm very well trained on the AR-15. But semi-auto's and shotguns I'm either self-taught or learned from watching a lot of youtube videos. I learned about cruiser ready from youtube video's. I didn't know shotguns weren't drop safe until I heard it in a youtube video. You don't know what you don't know. Your comment is an asshole move for a guy who just watched a 30 minute training video to "get more training, please". The man is learning, is he an SME? No, but neither am I or most of America on particular firearms. No need to be a arrogant dick about it.
So you load your mag tube and check chamber pull trigger?
I have to say that my all-time favorite is the Ithaca Model - 37 M & P. This was brought home after they took our 37’s and replaced them with the 870. Sand, dust, leaves and other detritus found it’s way into the 870’s action when out in the brush. The Ithaca Model 37 by design, with it’s bottom loading and ejection, simply shrugs off all such things.
One of my biggest regrets is selling my model 37 m&p. But I had been in a bad wreck and needed cash.
We used 37's when I was a deputy in the 70's, loved them. I picked one up when the Highway Patrol traded theirs in. When I went to the city P.D. in 80 I used 870's for the next 25 years. I have 2 just like Gregg but with wooden furniture from the late 80's. Both are great guns.
Carried the 37 walking point in Vietnam. Another advantage is that right handed, or southpaw, doesn't matter BECAUSE it ejects spent shells downwards, instead of to the right, or left. Unfortunately, the gun belonged to the Navy, so there was no bringing it home.
Ithaca made some great guns
I pulled my Mossberg out half way through and stroked it. It made me happy to see you so happy with your shotgun. You're growing on me. I especially appreciate the SKD Tactical gear tip. You're the second guy to suggest that velcro on the side with the shell shingle. The first was James Yeager. His gear suggestion was Special Operators Equipment which is like three times the price as your suggestion. Much better.
As long as it goes bang when you pull the trigger every time, you can't ask for much more. Always a good day when a new O.G. video comes out!
Great Video. I am still shooting a Mossie 500 "Cruiser" model, retired from a PD, and purchased by me in 1972. I finally broke down and bought a 28" ribbed barrel for it so I could shoot trap for practice. Great advice to "shoot what you know" . I would use an 870 if I had learned on the 870.
The ammo box full of shotgun shells is a LITERAL pot'o'gold today. I envy you sir; strong work.
Excellent video Sir. I keep a 20 gauge 870 with #1 Buck ready for home defense. Thanks for reminding me to measure the ranges in my house. Looking forward to more videos.
Damn good video. I actually learned something.
"Cruiser ready" a.k.a closet ready.
Glad you found it useful. 😎👍
Thanks for the cruiser ready tip. I was always nervous about the trigger spring weakening over time and was always taught not to dry fire a trigger. Cruiser ready weapon is actually even safer than open chamber ready. Thanks
Excellent take on the side mounts, I have been lucky enough to only have used steel receiver Remington 870's and 1187's for work and home defense. I will trade a little weight for the piece of mind of a good receiver. After thousands and thousands of rounds I have only had to replace the O-rings on my 1187 as regular maintenance.
Nice. I definitely agree that a spare shell holder and a light is a good idea on a home defense shotgun. I'd definitely try a magazine extension too.
My Browning A5 (20" barrel , cylinder bore) eats everything I run through it but lives on a steady diet of 0000 buck. God Bless John Moses Browning!
Where do I get this quadruple ott buck lmao
@@cainadkins3985 It's called 4 ought
There's nothing like a show that begins with freedom seeds being planted!
Thanks for the thorough explanation of how to properly set up the weapon for “cruiser ready.”
I love the shotgun videos. I have several AR’s, including a 11.5” that’s set up for CQB, but I still use my trusty 590A1 for my home defense long gun. Mine has magpul stock and forend, XS ghost ring and big dot sight, Streamlight RML, magpul sling, and the same Velcro card setup. I can’t imagine a situation where 8 shells of OO buck in the gun plus 5 in side saddle wouldn’t be enough for a home invasion.
8 + 1. I have the same weapon✅
Thanks for the "cruiser ready" mode dude. Much appreciated.
That shotgun set up is badass. We also used Remington 870’s when I was on the job.
I bought my 870 Express Mag in 1983. It came with a field barrel and a smoothbore barrel with front and rear sights. I am not sure where the field barrel is, probably in the closet on a shelf, but the smoothbore is what I keep on it all the time. It runs slugs and buckshot like the well-oiled machine it is. I have 2 others with field barrels on them, but the 870 has never let me down. Whether it is defending the home or taking deer it gets the job done. I have never needed more than the 5 rounds it holds, and most often only one or 2 of that 5 to get the job done
Great video both entertaining and factual. My own selection for my twelve are BB loads for interior or on property use. I keep slugs and flare gun shells at the ready just in case or if the Police need backup. I'm with you on the Slide Action. I have a lever action which is very similar. The lever seems to be a bit faster, but accuracy always rules. To me, auto load is how fast you can waste your ammo.
I just subscribed brother. I want to tell you how sorry us patriot, law-abiding, hard-working, God-fearing, and family loving people are for the liberal war that has been cast upon the Police and law enforcement community. It ain't' no fun getting a ticket when we brake the law, but we need y'all very much to protect and serve our communities and we appreciate you and have your back if and when y'all will need it.
God bless bro.
Thanks for stopping by and subbing. I appreciate your comments.
@@OGsDangerShow
We appreciate y'all more than you might understand.
God bless bro.
@mo hardwood I'm gonna pray for you bro. Evidently, something very bad has happened to you in your childhood to believe what you just posted.
I am not saying every Police Officer is infallible or perfect. What I am saying is that the majority put on their uniform each day and go out into their neighborhoods to uphold the law and to make sure rapists, burglars, drug dealers, bank robbers, bullies who prey on the weaker individuals of our society are stopped from hurting others.
Does it suck when I get pulled over for doing 15 miles an hour over the speed limit, Ya, it does. Is it the Cops fault for doing his job or is it my fault for breaking the law? I accept responsibility for my own actions and I haven't had a speeding ticket for over 12 years now cuz I learned that I don't want a ticket.
I am white and I remember my dad telling me if I ever get pulled over, I put my hands on the top of the steering wheel, turn my car off and roll down my window. What the hell is so hard to figure out.
Have you ever watched a video where a cop comes up to a driver's window and gets shot point-blank with a handgun and then the shit sack drives away?
Give the Cops a break bro. They are the first ones you and/or your family call when something bad happens.
I want Cops in my neighborhood and city and the criminals better hope and pray that they all keep showing up for work. If the Police departments were to be defunded and dismantled, God help the criminals that think they are going to just have their way with innocent people, because the vigilantes that will come forth are going to make any life long criminal wish they had Cops to protect them.
You are watching too much CNN. You need to reprogram your mind and try and get in touch with a little reality.
As I said, I am gonna pray for you because your eyes and ears are not working properly.
God bless
Those flitecontrol wads are awesome. Sure wish they sold them to reloaders.
Pretty good discussion on basic shotgun setup for home defense. I thought about this a lot and my current setup is a Mossberg 500 (already had it to modify but would buy a 590 if purchasing) loaded with 4 buck (less wall penetration), flashlight (Sorry, prefer the bright light of LED), and red dot. Two side saddles with more 4 buck and slugs in the stock saddle. No flight control. You actually proved that normal buck is better for the 5-15 yds that will be the in-house distance. If one can deal with the kick of a 12 gauge it is the best self defense weapon out to 100 yds.
That Federal Flite Control 00B is THE schitt. Our test results when it first came out were similar to your demonstration. We just weren't having the spread and flyers at the ranges we'd get them with the conventional buckshot loads. I had to go out to 30 yards before pellets started missing the (IPSC) target.
Federal also uses that Flite-Control wad in their Black Cloud waterfowl loads allowing you to get more pellets on high flying geese. It easily stretches effective pattern density out an extra 10+ yards.
Yeah buddy! I still own the same Remington 870 Express Magnum my dad bought for me when I was 16, and I am in my 40s now. It has been an outstanding shotgun, and I am teaching my daughters how to shoot with it.
Teach your daughters everything you would your sons. The world they are living in is bad and going to get worse, much worse. The time for acting as a helpless female is gone.

When I went through ship board security training in the navy, the instructor said just the sound of the shotgun being racked would be enough to scare most bad guys into submission. That being said, if we were to have an actual security threat on board a us navy war ship I doubt seriously the sound of a racked shotgun would scare whatever the threat would've been. Most threats would have come from a professional source i.e. a terrorist or enemy soldier/sailor so when he said what he said I shook my head in disbelief. This was way back in 1986 and I have since done numerous rifle, handgun and shotgun training courses and not one of these instructors ever said the mere sound would scare the bad guy away. Keep up the good work og.
Thanks Cary. See my video about dispelling shotgun myths.
Awesome video sir. Just found your channel and have subscribed. Good sound advice. 22 years in the Marine Corps, the Benelli M4 Super 90(M1014) was my back up. Love that rifle and still use it since retiring. Definitely gonna have to check out what you're carrying.
Thanks for subbing, sir. Glad you like the show. 😎👍
Solid advice.
Times are rough when a working police officer's videos start with "Nobody is coming. It's up to you." but then, look what out Governors and Mayors are doing to our police departments.
All through history men have armed themselves and pulled together when they needed to protect their communities. A standing law enforcement agency is really something of very recent history. Personally before I ever call 911 I'll be calling my lawyer. No offense to the maker of this video, it's good information.
@@wk3818 Sometimes you have time to call 911, sometimes you don't.
Police aren’t there to protect people they’re there to enforce the feds laws
@@ViktoriousDead Many smaller PDs and Sherriff's departments are taking up the "I will not comply" way of thinking on that. Governors don;t seem to be able to stop them, and the Fed has no local jurisdiction.

Here’s my favorite quote and it’s from Reid Henrichs of valor ridge formerly a tactical response instructor …. The only time a gun should be empty is when it is being cleaned and at that point in time there should be another gun beside you that’s loaded 🤣
Great info, i never thought about the steel pins in a Alum receiver...i was going to mount a steel pin shell holder on my new Mossberg 590A1 Compact but after watching ur vid . Im sold on the velcro sidesaddle...thanks!!!
That's why when all this stuff happend 2020, 2021 enough said, I went to a pump 12 gauge for all my needs. Hunting, home defense, elephant dropper whale slayer. Whatever I want. Iv owned alot gave some away, sold most of them. so when I went to get a new gun, the 12 pump is what I fell back on. It fills all my needs and I fell back I love with it. Forgot all the round you can buy and make very simply.
The rifled bore view was very 007!
Totally get your choices, I'll stick to my Mossy, especially since I have a "golf clubs collection" of barrels, including an odd-duck black-powder barrel. It always comes down to : what can't it do ?
Love the channel boss, I learn something new Everytime I watch ! My 12 ga is now cruiser ready
Thanks Chad! Glad you like the show. 😎👍
Good presentation. I have worn out a High Standard 18-7 a long time ago. My go to shotguns are 12 Gauge Winchester model 98 and model 12 with Cutts compensators on them Another in 12 with Insert chokes from Briley and a 20 gauge with a polychoke which uses 20 Pellet #3 buck. I also have some nice Browning doubles that can be wicked fast on doubles with auto ejectors for fast smooth reloads. I killed 2 deer in 2 seconds with a scoped High Standard at near touching distance. Herd culling before winter on a tree plantation. I was in the middle of the trail when they tried run me over. Lots of practice shooting splayed leg sitting for the expected conditions.
I'm happy to get super good advice from good heroes like your self, I have a whole lot of respect for the ones who put their lives on the line to protect us all . God bless you all!
Thanks for your awesome comment, sir.
I'm a lefty so the Mossberg 590/500 is the platform of choice (safety on the tang). I also like the bolt release being back behind the trigger on the left hand side -- perfect for a left hander. Thanks for the video!!!
@Kevin Olschesky A Classic!!!
Strongly seconded!
Actually got a 590A1 lefty from Budsgunshop back when Mossberg offered them, only cost me a tad over $500. That being said, love my Mossberg
You forgot your "almost menacing laugh" after offering to show the features.😎 It's ok though you're not a German slingshot/arrow firing/airgun shooting YT channel.
Love that flight control ammo. It is one of the few "special" rounds that does exactly what it says it will. 👍
Stay safe out the man. :-)
Thank You Officer Gregg and thank you for your service. I just found your channel and subscribed..Awesome video and thank you again...
Thanks for the great lesson OG. I use 12 gauge 2/34 " #4 Buck for outside CQC, Aguilla Mini Shell Buck for Super CQC like in a building and White Tail 2 3/4 Slugs for 30 yards or better in my Mossberg Maverick 88. I reckon I need some LE Buck rounds like I used in the Coast Guard.
This Simple _________ for Troubled Times series is going to end with A Simple Belt Fed Machine Gun for Troubled Times.
Hopefully! But times aren’t that troubled in my area yet.
XM134- it's heavy enough you aren't tempted to use it in anyway but a fixed support weapon, electrically drive lever actions so you don't really need to worry too much about jams, and if you put the right sized resistor in the power line it will throttle way down. You lose the advantage of the audible signature, but it means you less well trained individuals are less likely to waste ammo. And high tracer count belts are stunning- death ray.
Of course, you can extend the spindle and the cage so you can put muzzle cans on the barrels. That makes those high tracer belts even more funny.
@@OGsDangerShow Thats because you are smart and are shacked up out in the boonies. You just need to keep your eye out for the tweakers trying to steal your cupholder change lol
And you're in the Los Angeles area. Troubled times never stop there. They just get more, then less, but are never close to trouble free. Relatively speaking
Given my stunning lack of success bird hunting, a simple belt fed shotgun has been on my want one list for years.
Texas Game Wardens would take a very dim view of my deploying one outside of my home though. Honest Officer, I was only going to wipe out those damned grackles...
When i seen the spray painted silhouettes, i was half expecting to see O.G with a black outline! lol
Nice tip about travelling with your weapon whilst also being safe and ready to go.
Why do you think that there was no cameo from Taofledermaus? The OG used him as the target template and to keep from getting a CZcams strike for cultural appropriation Jeff had to stay off camera.
Thanks Officer Greg! appreciate all the education about the different types of shot shells.
Very good advice on the high powered lights!..I think that having a light will let the perp. Know where you are at. The only light I want that perp. To see is the FLASH of the barrel when it goes off.
THIS! THIS is what I’ve been missing from the TFM channel!

The Weapon Collection. Nice Sir. Good that we are prepared to help others.
I am in the process of building a retro/mod 870 fighting shotgun. Your video helped me make decisions as to what parts I am buying for the gun. Thanks OG!
I'm a couple years late but great information on the mechanics of shotgun manipulation. "Cruiser ready" is great advice. I'm going to do the same with my home protection 870.
Thank you O.G. for your informative and entertaining videos
Thanks for watching, sir. 🫡
I love Remington, don't get me wrong. And I know you prefer them to match up with your duty gun, but you've demonstrated clearly why I prefer the mossberg setup. The tang safety and rear of trigger guard action release is just so much more intuitive in a stressful situation in my opinion. Don't have to break grip to actuate either of them
I can agree I love them both a lot but I think I’m just use to the Remington that I prefer that but even from hunting experiences the safety on the mossberg can be a little easier in fast paced waterfowl hunting
Good video O G , love the 12 gauge pump! Good information shows that everyone should pattern their home defense shotgun!
👍 😎 🇺🇸
Thanks for the suggestion of ammo I'll take a look for the tighter pattern. Also love how you help dispel the myth of racking the shotgun. I shake my head when people say that, and I've heard if a lot unfortunately. Like you said a person on drugs or someone committed or equally armed is not going to care. Great video on the overall use of the shotgun, and the pattern of that ammo.
Thanks for checking it out, Dan. I just today filmed a “Shotgun Myths” video. Watch for it soon. Stay safe out there.
I saw the pinned comment - I enjoyed the full explanation. No assumptions and a great description of why/what/how. Thanks
The bird shot would even have most bad guys rethinking their plan if they were peppered from a distance and leaking, they wouldn't know what size the pellets were that blew through their skin or how deep they went. Increased spread = higher chance of a hit, and deadly if they choose to come closer.
Og missed the op on using the term "wallered out hole" talking about the alum receiver saddle problem. We've all experienced a wallered out hole once I think. 😂😂😂
There are tons of gun videos online with all sorts of fancy flare. But this guy is a genuine, no nonsense professional. I like it.
Thanks for watching. Glad you like it.
bought a brand new sxp (ive shot them before and did like them, ive also had the same weatherby pa-08 youve used on taos channel which i really did enjoy but sold and upgraded to a mint rem 1100 and i wish i didnt sell that one but i did) first time at the range with my sxp camp field combo i was on 6" steel at 60 yards consistently with "target slugs" (aka low recoil 1oz slugs) and a regular old bead sight
Good stuff Maynard! Esp liked the detail of storing "cruiser ready!"
Watched that and got myself ready for interesting tactical info, then ... well duh that makes perfect sense ... then ok new gun owners may not know this. Fair enough, that's why i'm an idiot in the comments section and will never have a youtube channel.
🤣
Now that the kiddos have moved out of the house, cruiser ready may be something I should consider. Thanks for your service (please share with all your brothers in blue), the entertainment, and advice.
I will let them know. Thanks, Corwin. 😎👍
nice to hear pointers who are clear articulate and have real experience. good channel
Thanks, man. Glad you liked it.
Awesome video thanks for posting it, this give me a pretty good idea of which rounds to use at what distance
Ouch.... 900 bucks for an express. OG, i wish we could have gone shopping together. I have 3 870 wingmasters that i paid 100 bucks each for. Pawn shops have the good shotguns. The wingmaster was made with the highest quality metal, parts and quality control.
absolutely correct! I worked as a Pawn Broker for Years and Pawn Shops are where You typically find the deals. Not so much anymore though.
The 870p (police) is just a parkerized wingmaster, with heavier springs in the trigger group.
The wingmaster has been around since 1954, there are plenty out there
True my long term goal is to find an old beat up Rem 870 that is mechanical sound & send it to Wilson Combat Scattergun Technology for their Remington Steal deal. They redo it for $250-750 depending on options. 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Yeah i agree Pawn Shops you get deals and they work with you. I got a mossberg 500 home defense shotgun 160.00. That was in March .
I've always heard good things about the Remington 870, and I had always wanted one for shooting dove and quail. For years I hinted to the Ol' Blister about it every time Christmas or my birthday rolled around, but alas, it was not meant to be. The closest I got was one Christmas, when the first present she had me open was a beautiful hard case for an 870, and I was certain that by the end of the day I would be fondling a shiny, new shootzenbangen and daydreaming about the first couple of boxes of boomenition I would be running through it at the trap range. Disappointment slowly set in as the day got later and later, and it became more and more apparent that the much anticipated boomstick was not forthcoming. I was confused and not a little hurt, thinking she had played a mean trick on me. Come to find out, she thought I already had an 870 and was hinting about getting a nice case for it. Since then, she has been trying to make up for it. One year she bought me a nice, little Ruger 10/22. Another year it was a Remington 7600 chambered for 30-06. Sadly, I never did get the 870 I so longed for all those years. When I had the money, there was always something else I didn't have, and figured I already had a nice Winchester 12 guage, a Savage 20 guage and a fun, little Rossi double-barrel coach gun with 18 inch barrels and big, rabbit-ear hammers that I loved to hunt dove with, so I would just wait a bit longer for the Remington. As the years slipped by, I hunted less and less. Mostly because I'm just getting too old and tired. Hey, I still get out once in a while, I mean I'm not dead, yet.
Nice little story bro...u should b a writer...i 2 longed 4 a rem 870...but had 2 settle 4 2 used moss 500s...that i purchased myself...not the same as when u get a nice shinny boomstick as a christmas present...ur story reminded me of ralphie in the movie a christmas story...wanting his 200 shot red rider bb gun...1 of my favorite movies...if u ever write a novel let me know...ill b sure 2 purchase 2 copies...paperback and a hardcopy...lol
In 6 month the market will come back & there are alway Police Departments & Prisons getting rid of or upgrading their 870s. I got a surplus 870 Wingmaster for $220 in 2017.
@@ccsmith2937 nice
@@kippnovak9833 You are too kind, Sir. Thank you for the compliment.
@@bearbarre6435 u r welcome
I love my shotguns and I have a few. I've stored them all on safe and on an empty chamber. I've been hearing more about "cruiser ready". I think I'm gonna make that part of my prep.
I have one of those old magnetic shotgun locking clamps laying around :) I picked it up used off of eBay for around $40. They're pretty cool :) I have tested it to make sure it works (along with the backup key lock,) but I have not yet mounted it anywhere.
Finger wiggle!! Always a good day starting with an OG video.
My family battle cry: "Shotgun, 'cause they ain't got one!"
I know you had fun making this video because scatterguns are a riot!
Sorry. I'll stop now.
I use a very high quality VHB double-sided tape for my hard-sided shell holder. It's temperature stable (hot or cold) and will never dislodge under most any situation. No pins/screws necessary. In fact, that's what Aridus Industries uses for their side saddle for install for their Beretta 1301 model.
Really enjoyed all of the useful info and humor, thanks!
as a Ferner, big props for those metric conversions!
I learned from Jeff on TAOFLEDERMAUS that those goofy numbers you use are important.
@@OGsDangerShow you're goofy!
@@OGsDangerShow I'm lucky I'm at an age when I learned Both Imperial (feet & inches, pounds & ounces , pints and gallons etc.) and the Metric system ( Millimeters , Centimeters and Meters , also Grams & Kilograms )( It's All Base Ten ! Simple) Trust Me once You know it Metric is easier but I still prefer the good old Imperial system but then I also liked Stirling ( Pounds Shillings and Pence half pences and even farthings -1/4 of a penny !) more than I like the decimalised pound , Education standards were better because everyone knew not just the 10X tables but 12 14 & 20 You had to or You might not get the quantity You wanted when You bought anything . Stay Safe OG !
You can probably get an LED conversion head for that light, I bought one for an old surefire I had and it’s well worth it
love the Jörg Sprave reference!! I recently got one of his limited Ulfberht sword knives in s90v. dude is a badass.
The best advisor for home defense shotgun lovers. Excellent video.
Can't get enough of the danger show
I think there’s a point where it might be too much…🤔
@@OGsDangerShow Nope
"most social situations" Now thats funny.
Thanks for the tips. I just got a Mossberg Maverick 88 Security, first ever shotgun. I’m glad to see content that helps me figure out how to effectively use my firearm.
Thanks for watching!
One of the most helpful shotgun videos I've watched! Thanks!
Although I love my semi auto shotguns, my pumps are my go to. You simply can’t beat a good ol pump shotgun. I like Remy’s, but I’m a Mossy guy if I have to choose. Great video brother. Love the channel.
Try an old Winchester 12 120 1200 or 1300 series... smooth as butter man.
The mossy safety is the only way for me.
If the Marines issue the Mossberg 590, they must be decent. I prefer the safety on a Mossberg. My Mossberg is at the ready at my house, the Benelli is basically a safe queen.
OG I have been a fan of the 12 GA. since I was a boy. In my older age I went to a Mossberg 930 semi auto. The recoil is much less . Equipt with a red dot sight it is deadly as long as I do my part. Great Vid..
Thanks for watching, man. Glad you like it. And I’m even more glad you’re armed with a good shotgun. 😎👍
Great video! I recently got an 870 express in a great deal. Picked up a 18.5 Carlson barrel with removable chokes. Have always loved #4 buck over 00, can’t wait to see how it patterns out of different chokes.
Congrats. I’m sure it will serve you well.
I enjoy officer Gregg and his opinions. Great wisdom there. I am thinking a combo setup- a 18 inch Mossberg 500 shotgun, and a longer hunting barrel (either a rifled sight one or a longer bird barrel). That way the gun can fill multiple purposes.
Outstanding brother, we got your six ..
I love my shotgun. Gonna have to try them flight control shells in it for up close and personal defense. And that was some impressive slug work buddy.
Good luck finding any for the next several months
Thanks Tom. Always good to see you stop by.
Just added your channel OG, followed the link from Tao and this is the first video I watched because I AM interested in purchasing a shotgun for home defense. Lots of good information here to consider. Many thanks for that.
I think we used the 870 as the shotgun 'leg' of our ship's self defense force so I did get some training with it back when Fred Flintstone was a boot, also on the M-14 in .308 and I carried the old faithful M1911A1 as a duty sidearm for much of my Navy career.
Stay safe man.
Thanks for stopping by, Robert I’m glad you like the show. Be sure to catch the other videos here on the channel. Stay safe out there, sir.
