Thank you for watching! My advice on how to set up a Home Defense Shotgun! Enjoy!
How much price this 🔫
How much price this gun
Finally, someone who doesn't have the AR style stock on their shotguns. Well presented sir, thank you.
Thank you.
Agreed
Agree
My 870 came with that style stock,replaced it with MagPul I love it now..
Please tell me what's wrong with that?
Some thought went into this set-up, thanks for sharing. I've found that I prefer a simple, inexpensive shotshell belt over a slung pouch simply because it stays in place and wont swing around while I'm moving.
Thank you. Yes I think that’s a great option as well. I appreciate the feedback
love how he has the med kit and tons of backup ammo.
Thank you!
Don't worry about the tourniquet haters, anything that works is better than nothing.
My personal defense/camping scattergun is a Mossberg 590A1, Vortex Venom red dot, Surefire forearm with Surefire light, 6 round sidesaddle, 3 point sling. I do the traditional slug/buckshot/slug loading. 3 buckshot/3 slug on the sidesaddle. Lot of bears most of the places we camp in Wa, ID, and MT.
Nice. I’m jealous of that set up. :-) keep it up.
Had you had any issues with the Battery cap on the Vortex Venom?
U Should Look Into These
2 Item's:
#1 The STREAMLIGHT TL-RACKER PUMP/LIGHT Combo, It Put's Out 1000 Lumen's Of Light...
#2) The TACTALOAD FLASH 5 Stock, It Hold's 5 Extra Rds Inside The Stock & U Can Also Add Another 6rd Shot Card To It On The Right Side, My Set-Up Hold's 24rds Onboard... 6+1 In The
Tube, 6rds In A Velcro Side Saddle, 5rds Inside The Stock & Another 6rds Velcro Side Saddle On The Outside Of The Stock...
Thanks for the feedback!
Hey my Brother, I'm just giving some Intel on my (New ) setup. After watching this video a few weeks ago, it really made me realize and rethink my own set up. I've got field medical training, and I stay up-to-date on training. Thus ,I'm good to go on this. But you opened up the reality of a ( Need Med Now ), issue ,by having just that one piece of equipment. Tourniquet !! So with that knowledge, I renewed my opp. Running now with a minimal Med Kit + Tourniquet mounted on Buttstock. This is absolutely such a great piece of Intel . And I respect and appreciate you for sharing. Thanks. Stay safe and focused, may God always have your 6 O'clock.
Awesome. Yes the more we can be prepared and train on the equipment the better. This was something that I really had my eyes opened to several years ago. I put a TQ on every sling now if not the buttstock. I make sure to carry on person med and have a bag in my car too. God bless and stay safe
@@WeaponsJunkie Will do my friend. You do the very same. I'll be watching your videos and taking all the Intel in, and put it to work.
Thank you 🙏🏻
And I would add, PATTERN YOUR DEFENSIVE LOAD! Know your hold at all home distances and up to 25-yards. What does your load pattern look like!?!? Great video brother. I’d also add that for me, I run my defensive guns in club three gun matches. No it’s not combat but it will teach you A TON about your set up.
Tonsofgunsoffun spit on! Pattering your gun is a must! Thanks for that!
Great video that's almost exactly how I'm setting up my benelli Nova tactical, one thing I tried and am going to continue using is a vertical foregrip on the pump. I fired 100 rounds of high brass buck/slug yesterday and found the recoil to be much more manageable, especially with 3 1/2" shells. It also made my follow up shots smoother and quicker.
Thank you. That’s cool and interesting. I ran a foregrip on a ksg but haven’t really tried on anything else. Thanks for watching
Why do you feel it necessary to shoot 3 1/ 2" shells for self defense against humans I assume ?😅🤠👍
@@Will-sk9oj 2 3/4" 00 buck has 9 pellets 3 1/2" 00 buck has on average 15 pellets. More pellets=more holes=faster blood loss/ more energy delivered to the target. Plus the longer ejection port of the 3 1/2" guns means it will eject shorter shells extremely reliably.
@@Will-sk9oj in reality though I keep it set up with Hornady critical defense 2 3/4" 00 buck that shit patterns so tight it will stay on a torso plate at about 30 yards. The 3 1/2" shells are mainly for hunting.
Straight to the point with some solid ideas and advice. Thanks.
Thank you. Glad it was helpful. Thanks for the support
Solid setup, I like it. I was up in the air about a bandolier sling before, but didn’t like the idea of having that attached to a 2 point on the gun itself.
Thank you sir. Yeah two points on a pump gun doesn’t seem like a good idea. Taking classes really helped open my eyes to things
@@WeaponsJunkiedo you remember the light mount you used ? I haven’t seen that before
It’s the Magpul offset light mount.
@@WeaponsJunkie found it !! Thanks for all your help
Awesome. You’re welcome
A few years late to the show, it seems like yesterday when 2019 was the year. You information is very useful and relevant, thank you~
2019 does feel like a couple years ago. So weird. Yea this information definitely is still relevant. I’m glad you found it and I appreciate you watching.
I got a single mode before I seen this because I didn't want a low light or strobe I just wanted Brite and now!
Good job. Yeah I think single mode is the best option, especially if you have to use it under stress
One of the best setups I’ve ever seen. Subbed.
Thank you very much! Hope to get some new content up for everyone soon!
I love the set up on your 2 weapons. Your video has given me some great ideas. I really like the sling bag and never thought of that before. My home defense loads are #4 buckshot with shot size at approximately .24 inches the pellet count is typically 21 to 24 in each cartridge... that's a heck of a lot of lethal holes at home defense range. Lots of holes = lots of bleeding.
Thank you Ed. Glad it’s given you lots of ideas. I really appreciate your comments. Your # 4 buck sounds like a great set up. Stay free!
Thanks for the Intel. I really appreciate it. It really didn't come to me about a medical kit on person or on weapons. Good call, I believe that I'm going to put this into place with my setup.👍
You’re welcome. Right on. Glad to see you take that action step! Stay safe.
I sorta did something similar except I went with the 590a1 so I could throw a bayonet on it
Right on! The 590 is a great shotgun! Thanks for watching!
@@WeaponsJunkie have you tried one of those toughsoul AR flashlights though? I think they make a flashlight and Lazer in one but idk if they can handle shotgun recoil
I haven’t tried that light. I kind of get stuck on surefire, especially the gx series which to me is more affordable and durable.
@@WeaponsJunkie and they don't fall off mounted like that? The only reason I was gonna go with the toughsoul or whatever other brands are available m lok flashlight module is cuz ide trust it more because it takes more space on the m-lok making it more secure
Nice setup. I recently acquired a 590 with the 8 round magazine. I must admit I’ve had no formal shotgun training, but I don’t see how the sling does anything except get in the way. Oh, and I love your back porch 😊
I love the 590 good pickup. Look as the sling as the holster is for a pistol, the sling is for the long gun. If you need to go hands on with someone,pick up a small child and run, etc etc you can sling your long gun “holster it” and it’s still on you, you don’t have to drop it, so you’re always ready for the fight. Thank you. Moved recently and miss that porch, but love my extra property :-)
I'm not THAT into guns. But i find 12 guage shotguns absolutely fascinating because of their versatility. U got a couple of cool rigs, my friend.
Thank you. I appreciate you watching and your compliments. Shotguns are definitely a versatile tool.
Nice set ups. Simple n easy
Thank you. Hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching
@@WeaponsJunkie thought it was pretty cool that you use SOE products as well. Some top notch gear
Jason. John and Amanda are friends of mine and yes their gear is top notch. I really like most everything they make.
SOE baby!
That’s right! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
The upgrade I would like is the sound of racking the shotty being 10x louder
Lol. Yeah that could be intimidating. :-)
Both of these shotguns have over 1500 hard training rounds through them plus just plinking range rounds of a few hundred each. Lights and mounts are good to go no issues so far.
Nice set up.
Thank you
I like your setups on your mossberg 500 shotguns.
Thank you
I'm going to order the TQ butt stock pouches for my shotguns! Great video!
Thank you brother! Yes these are a nice addition for sure.
Solid video, thanks! Still trying to evaluate the two point vs single point slings. Mounted a hard side saddle but didn't like it so will go with velcro cards.👍
Thank you sir. Yeah just work through it. Training and drills will help you get out what’s best for you.
Two point sling for me. More versatility. What I used when I was 11B, and I won't get smacked in the junk. LOL
😂😂😂 junk smacking sucks. I found running an intense shotgun class that the two point could get tangled up in my “pumping action” thats why I went for a non bungee single point on my primary shotty. Thanks for watching and the service!
awesome setup on both shotguns
Thank you! I’m glad you like them.
@@WeaponsJunkie no prob buddy
I prefer using the QD attachment readily available in the buttstock, keeps it from swinging into your chin, especially when transitioning from one side to another, a little extra drag also keeps the action from your nuts and barrel from your ankles.
Right on. Sounds like a great set up. Definitely something for everyone. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
@WeaponsJunkie definitely worth the watch. Thank you
Just one more simple thing to add would be a good lawyers business card attached for when the crap settles and the cops finally arrive you can lawyer up right away so your ass is covered. Also hope that you never need it beyond scaring the crap out of an intruder.
Yes any self defense situation requires a lawyer
I like using a badaleer setup for a pump and a Semi Automatic.
Nice. Yeah I think whatever you train with and can operate well is definitely the way to go. Thanks for watching
Good info
Thank you. And thanks for watching!
My shells are placed with the primer facing the ground, easier to grab and load, its also less work you have to do when you need to move fast
Yes you just have to train with what works best for you and what is repeatable under stress. I had shells fall out of other holders when oriented primer down so I trained with the way they are oriented here and I feel fairly comfortable with the shells being secure and the repeatability of reloading. Thanks for the comment!
Why would you not want a 2 point sling? Single point slings are retention only. 2 and 3 point slings are retention as well as stowage when you need to work with your hands, not to mention some can hold extra rounds.
I'm a year late to this comment, but for anyone else, some feel that a 2 point sling (that attaches at the front end and and the stock) can get grabbed in with your "pumping" hand, causing you not to be able to pull the forend back, and dont want to have to worry about overcoming that possible interference
Your mileage may vary
Yesss!
Awesome video I have a Winchester 1300 defender speed pump 7 plus 1 with a light mounted and a Remington 870 with a black hawk 6 way adjustable stock and a light both have side saddle’s both fun to shoot yes the Remington has a ar style stock but the Winchester is a standard stock
Awesome. Sounds like a couple of nice scatter guns. I appreciate you watching and the support.
Nice setup. Thanks for the recommendations.
Thank you. Glad it helped. I thank you for watching!
if it works for you it's a good setup. Too much for me but to each his own. Well done my friend.
Thank you. Yeah I think everyone needs to work out their own set up and train with it to figure it out. Thanks for watching and the support
This is sick. I wanted to get mlock furniture but I’m still deciding on how I want this build.
Thank you. I really like the Magpul furniture. The mlok is convenient and the buttstock is perfect in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. I subed and dropped a like.👍
What brand /model are you using to mount those surefire lights?
Awesome. Thanks so much. I’m using the Magpul offset flashlight mount. They work really well!
@@WeaponsJunkie thanks so much!
Would love to see a video of your light mount and the instal?!
I’ll see what I can do. It’s a Magpul left side flashlight mounted to a piece of mlok Picatinny rail. I’m using the Surefire G2x Tactical
When your firearm hands it’s a nut buster when you have a single point sling and it’s sways all over out of control when you have a two point sling you can sense it up close to your body and you have more control of it while you grab your secondary I have not met anybody that actually uses a single point sling unless they have something to tuck under their arm like a sub machine gun or an A.R. pistols that they try to keep hidden while wearing a jacket
Take a shotgun class you’ll vet out your gear. A pump gun does not need a 2 point sling. AR or AK yes I agree 110%. Watch my other videos. Thanks.
Folks are always concerned with extra rounds. Beyond a side saddle you wont need a bandaleer. It'll probably be a one and done if you hit a guy.
Intend to agree for sure. But I’ve never heard anyone say that was in a gun fight, man I brought too much ammo, however there are those that have wished for more ammo. So options are always good 😇 thanks for the feedback

Pump action is the best
Peep the wrist band. Awesome setup brother👍🏼
Thank you!
Well I got stoeger an winchester still want to put light on mine got a sleeve on one
Great shotguns. Always good to have a light!
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you for the support!
1:56 - I've used a hard plastic side shell carrier for years in police service, including a variety combat courses, and I've never seen one fall off. I would suggest that perhaps it wasn't installed properly. That being said, I do like the Velcro® attached cards.
I am curious as to why you elected to purchase 2 of the same scatterguns? Nothing wrong with that, I'm just curious. I have one of those Mossberg 500 Security models myself. Good guns.
2 is 1 old adage. :-) it May have not been installed properly. I do like how you can rip these soft cards off and slap another one on. Thanks for watching
He wanted one in fde and black, the grey one will becoming soon.
Thanks for the video, I’m pimping out my Mossberg 500 in case Biden confiscates all semi automatic guns. I had put on a AR style stock but I don’t like it because it’s hard to reach the slide release so I ordered a Magpul stock which seems to be the one all the heavy hitters in the shotgun world are using
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching. You will like the magpul stock! We can’t allow anyone to infringe on our God given rights! Stay vigilant
Wat taip of mount ,,s of flashligth mount you have on the shotgun
It’s the Magpul flashlight mount.
I have a set of brass knuckles right beside my tricked out shotgun. I put them on first in case my weapon is disabled.
Nice
Can you fire and rack the pump while keeping the light on?
Yes.
@@WeaponsJunkie Thanks. I’m planning a similar build. I like keeping things simple.
@@mrmcbeth right on
FYI not a real cat 5. Everything else is awesome. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks. The newest CAT is the gen7 however this is a recon. I’ve vetted them thoroughly through training and I trust them explicitly. Thanks for watching!
As shotguns are not drop safe, confirming that you pack the tube and leave the chamber empty?
Correct. Shotguns are not listed as drop safe for legal purposes because of the design, however one dropped from a few feet the odds are you won’t get an ND however I do keep one chambered and I always follow the 4 safety rules and I do keep the safety on.
if Indiana Jones had a home defense shotgun setup
😂😂 love it.
What’s your back story buddy? Ex-mil or dirty civ? All respect.. just asking.
No military. Just lots of training as a civilian. Thanks for watching
@@WeaponsJunkie great video
@@jakegriffiths590 thank you sir!
I did the same for the price of one auto I got 2 bump poor man shot gun what ever keep you alive and above ground
2 is 1 and 1 is none. I do believe that statement
I will keep my two point you can keep your single ever since I gun came down and hit me in man big boy I got rid of the single point
Ouch yeah that hurts. Been there before. I totally understand. Everyone has to find their own methods. I appreciate you watching and commenting
Nothing will work besides a 2 point sling, let's see how well that single point works if you need to take both hands off the weapon and give assistance to someone, or move real fast, or get in a struggle, not a very good option unless that is all you have. If you can't use a 2 point then you just don't know how to use a sling.
I’ve trained quiet a bit with a single point. I appreciate your dissenting view, but I suggest some training with a reputable company
@@WeaponsJunkie no reputable company will ever say a single point sling is ever better then a 2 point period, unless they are just trying to be tacticool. Single point has its place, probably in airsoft. I can do everything with a 2 point that anyone can do with a single point and so much more. Not trying to discouraged you, each their own but if you want to hinder yourself that all on you.
What light mount have you used?
I have the exact same set up as you, and I also want to buy a Surefire light to mount on my Magpul forend. But it looks like you have some other mount attachment in addition to the Surefire M Lok.
I’m using the Magpul mlok mount. I like how it sets the light and seems very stable through training classes
Very helpful, tx
Glad to hear. Thank you for watching!
One more thing do you think it could make sense to have rounds on cards in the bag?
I think that’s a great idea as well. Possible one on the outside Velcro pouch. I think having multiple spare shotgun cards is a good thing.
How are you doing sir
😀
Good morning Sir 🌺 🌺 🌺
😀
😁
About 30-40 zombies gonna fail at your house😮
😂😂😂
I was thinking about throwing the xs big dot front sight on mine. Have you ever messed with after market sights?
I’ve heard good things. I may look to do that myself
What model surefire flashlights are you using on these firearms? Thanks for sharing and showing your setups. CM4L
G2X Tactical works well for a budget light. Thanks. CM4L
Does the paracord interfere with your grip at all? I’m trying to determine if I add a sling mount for a single point or go with the paracord option. Thanks.
I don’t really feel it. I ran it that way through a 2 day class and didn’t have any issues. I guess everyone can vary. I think the key is testing things out.
That’s just a regular rifle mag holder. You can get those cheap. I bet soe over priced that “tourniquet” holder lol
Not too bad. Especially for the quality
Does the adhesive Velcro damage the shotgun finish?
I don’t believe so. I put it on with the intent not to take it off. So I can’t say for sure. But I think it would not remove the blueing.
Jodie what's the flashlight mount?
It’s the magpul rail mount. They make a right and left side.
💥 My shotgun carries nine (9) shells, with each shell containing 10-15 pellets (depending on size & load). In my case, that's a potential total of 90 to 135 #3 buckshot pellets fired at the bad guy(s). I just don't see a great need for a side saddle or bandolier carrying extra shells for "home defense."
I hear ya. After all the training classes I’ve taken and when we download and get some people sharing actual gun fighting experiences. No one ever said I’ve got too much ammo, but have heard the comment multiple times I wish I had more reloads. I take what Clint Smith said to heart, I want ALL THE AMMO 😂😂😂😂. Thanks for watching
Have you actually ran your shotguns in low light with the G2X lights on? I'm asking because I really like the G2x, but it isn't a weapon light, and I'm wondering if you've had any issues with recoil causing the light to go off.
Great question. I have not had enough rounds down range to tell you the long term durability. However others that I trust have experienced it to be durable.
What do you attach the Velcro loops on the receiver with?
The shotgun card has hook Velcro. You buy the soft side loop velcro at Walmart or any variety store and cut a piece the size of the card and attach it to the receiver. Make sure you prep the area with alcohol to clean any oils off and let completely dry before applying
What is that you used to attach the sling to the stock?
550 paracord sling attachement made by SOE Original Special Operations Equipment
Hello, can you share a link to that shell pouch please? THX
It was a special order item from SOE. I don’t think they sell it separately

@@WeaponsJunkie Made in USA love it Thanks bud
You’re welcome. I have lots of their gear. Best stuff on the market
My set up i have 78 rounds yes 78 rounds ask me how.
Nice! Ok share with me how :-)
7 plus 1 in shot gun.
5 in side saddle 5 in butt stock and drum roll...
Lol i use a black fanny pack its small and it holds 60 rounds easy to accsess and load.
@@bobg3633 nice. I just ran a Fanny pack in a shotgun class recently and I really liked it. I think it’s a great “grab and go”
@WeaponsJunkie i like to keep 50 buck in main pouch and 10 slug in small front.
Very cool i need to do a class.
Nice earrings 😂
Yeah they serve me well :-$
A shotgun would not be my first or second choice. More of a "i don't have anything else" last resort. (or I thought Biden was smart to suggest it)
The thing I appreciate about a shotgun for home defense is the ability to not over penetrate. I prefer an AR for most situations. However I’ve taken 3 different shotgun training classes and was wowed at home versatile a shotgun really is.
Where are you from now Sir 🌺 🌺 🌺 🌺
😀
Why does everyone put a sling on their home defense shotgun. What's the rational besides freeing your hands? I'm hesitant to put a sling on my HOME defense shogun. If I need it, I'm going to need it in a hurry from where it's kept, close to where I sleep. My concern is that it's just one more piece hanging off the gun that could get snagged on something, hampering its rapid deployment. I don't plan on clearing rooms in my house, just the one I'm in. I'm not looking for the fight, just defending myself from one when it comes to me and ending it quickly.
If you don’t have family or kids and it’s just you then it may not be necessary. If you had to grab a family member or kid or drag an injured person then having a sling could be invaluable. There are several scenarios where one would be very useful for a home defense gun. Come out and take a class sometime with those trainers I suggested, it will really help expand the thought process as it did for me. Thanks for watching
Why a sling, if you happen to get into a physical confrontation they won't be able to take your own weapon off you and use it against you. That's one good reason to have a sling attachment to you and your weapons.
Put a sling keep on it. Quite a few companies sell them. Warhorse has some cool ones. i made my own with shock cord.
sorry man.. you lost me at single point sling. due to the weight of shotguns and the love of my own junk it's a no go for me.
I would run a pump gun in a training class. It will make sense. I’m down with protecting the junk. Lol. A sling is like the holster to your pistol. Thanks for watching
You're wearing earrings.
Yep 😀
Do u use.the 1 1/2 " shells & do you think they are reliable for self or home defense ?😃 Trump in 2024 God bless the USA / GOD BLESS THE IDF 🤠😺👍🙏🙏
I have a video on mini shells. Not enough data for me. I prefer to have full power shells. I do have a front door closet gun loaded with mini shell slugs but it’s not the primary home defense shotgun. So yeah I guess in the proper range of distance I’m trusting the mini shell slug. Lol. God Bless!
Home defense? What are you expecting with that belt and bag of shells? The last siege of “ I Am Legend”?
🤷🏻♂️ hopefully not. But I like the grab and go aspect of the bag. Just like I like to have extra mags.
Would a bag be more accessible than a bandolier?
The bag shoulder strap has a “bandolier” I have taken a shotgun training class. We shot 1,000 rounds in 2 days. I used a bag similar. A shotgun needs to be fed. That’s the training aspect.
Shotguns are the worst for home defense.
Get some training
Why do you say UHhhh so much ??? Very distracting/
I’m sorry you were distracted. I hope the information was valuable aside from that. Doing this as a public service with ZERO financial gain there will be some things people won’t be happy with.
I just finished installing a trailer hitch on my shotgun! Now I can carry my combat cat, also I added, get this 🤣🤣🤣a cup holder 😭😭😭next I’m getting an ashtray and cigar lighter… oh! Please stop……. An umbrella holder that 🤣🤣🤣🤣will be nice o hell I piss myself.😭😭🤣😂🤣😂😭😎😂😭🥹
Whatever floats your boat:-)
