4 shot is a fine choice for a home security shotgun. So are 00B. Both are devastating at cl9ser ranges. My biggest concern with any shotgun is whether the liberal judge/prosecutor/grand jury decides that your choice of weapon/load was so you could maximize chances of killing an intruder, vs merely stopping them.

With shotgun ammo you don't need to worry about over penetration

Maybe show the bolt release/lock button

First concern price , bird shot #8 about 7 $ a box ,bad guy close range , dead . Gimmick load 30 $ a box 😮

great vid...cheetos are on me..

dude, you are out of breath just standing there...

I have a photo of a dead man with a fist sized hole in his sternum with some #8 or so sized pellets around the edges of that hole that you could look into. If you are a big fella like you then use the 00 Buck. If you are recoil sensitive like grandma or a 12 year old girl that is well practiced with bird shot in a 12 gauge at most home defense distances, bird shot is better. Small people shooting something they are afraid to practice with and don't shoot well is not as effective. That's a fact.

The work harder was probably the best advice I got there’s so many instructors out there that say their way is the best way, so I just started practicing and found out what worked for me and just took something from all of y’all

BS. BTW, birdshot is not limited to #8, at all. I do agree with your written summary: "There's a LOT of bad advice when it comes to shotguns, especially for home defense."

Keep some goose loads handy for variants in cars

At close range, even the shot cup. Will penetrate I have even seen it

I suggest you look at paul Harrell 's home defense shotgun video. Its educational you might learn a thing or two.

Birdshot is for the birds 🐦

wow this was helpful. people always talk about carry belts but nobody has explained WHY you need a carry belt. but this was informative especially for guys with some meat on their bones.

It's funny that the 2 targets are nearly identical and he only points to the buck load as "devastating" lol

Thumbs up.

a turkey load with a half choke on close distance is devastating you know nothing.

Totally unbiased lol

Apples to oranges much? How about generic buckshot vs your fancy buckshot?

Both did very well at 5 yards BUT the big diff is that the bird shoty will less likely go into other rooms thru walls and get the unintended 😁

A very deciding factor is how heavily clothed the perp is.

Can't be this ignorant.

I use #4 shot in lead , 9 pellet buck(lead) and maybe a slug or 2 .................I mix it up !!! I think steel pellets would ricochet against some hard surfaces , a better outside round !!!

I'm a retired small arms technician for the Army and I can assure you that 12 gauge #8 or #7 bird shot under 30 ft is deadly inside a house. Especially with a full choke. It's also an excellent choice to use to keep over penetration from happening with something like 00 Buck. Anybody that doesn't believe this can test it out for themselves on some pork ribs or look at Paul Harrel's video where he tests bird shot against various targets like meat and drywall.

"There's no such thing as misses; there's only unintended hits." That is wrong for multiple reasons. First, tactically speaking (and if you're in a fight for your life, that's the kind that counts) if you don't hit the target then you missed. Second, the saying implies that every bullet or pellet that misses the intended target will hit someone else, and that's simple not true. Unless you're firing into a crowd, that saying is just wrong in every meaningful way.

This video is so bad. The title says "home defense" and he says repeatedly in the video "self defense". Does he not know the difference? Also, how big is his house? Why did he test the ammo at 5 yards? Why not 2-3 yards? Is his house 2,000 yards from his nearest neighbors? If not, why didn't he mention over-penetration? He acted as if there's no reason why someone would prefer birdshot over buckshot. What about people that live in apartments? Why was there no evidence, research, or even discussion about the effectiveness of birdshot as a man-stopper (he fired two rounds and then jumped to conclusions).

There was a lot of dirt thrown around by the bird shot, so a lot of the bird shot made it to the backstop in a pretty small pattern.

Shot through 3/4" p,wood with #4s at 10 yRds

3 inch mag t shot would do great.

Usually I'd recommend #4 buck for close in home defense, but for a belly like that, you need that 00 penetration!

The only sensible thing you said was MOSSBERG

You're wasting your time and your breath. All the idiots who don't understand physics are still going to advocate for birdshot. I don't even bother to explain it; I'm not the one who'll die when the stuff gets real.

Have a cousin who was an ER doctor residence through to about 10 years, a fairly large city, before he moved back to the small town he grew up in. He told several of us at a family reunion that in that time the ER would get 3-4 people shot with birdshot at home defense range. If the shot was solid in the torso the person never survived, he said the small shot shreds the tissue and you just can't sew stuff up fast enough to keep them from bleeding out. For extremities he said the persons odds where a lot better but you had to watch for infection and small pellets dislodging and traveling through the circulatory system,

00 buck …..end of story

Dump the shot and just use dimes...😉

Stupid video

A 12 gauge turkey load, a full choke or extended full choke will blow a hole through a refrigerator door at "home defense distances". Find an old fridge and make a video

00 buck flight control? Is your hallway 80 yards long? Also, everyone (except paul blart here) knows, after the shot, leave the breach open. If there were another in the mag tube, he just chambered it up when he wasn't ready to fire.
