      We are in a spiritual war. There are principalities of darkness in high places who practice the dark occult arts of summoning demonic entities to let loose in our earthly realm. These entities attach themselves and possess individuals susceptible to their influence to carry out evil acts to drive division among the American people and ultimately to undermine the freedoms of Americans. The 12 virtues helps to block, bind, and limit the influence of these "entities" specifically in the context of gun ownership. As more people understand and live by these virtues, we strengthen the angels among us and weaken the grip of the demonic entities over all of humanity....
      THE 12 VIRTUES OF THE RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNER:
      HUMILITY: The quality of having a modest or low view of one's own importance. It involves the recognition of one's limitations, imperfections, and fallibility, and the willingness to acknowledge and learn from one's mistakes. A humble person is not overly concerned with status, recognition, or personal gain, but instead focuses on serving others and contributing to the greater good.
      TEMPERANCE: The quality of having restraint and moderation in one's emotions, behaviors, and desires. Temperance is an important virtue as it helps people maintain self-control and avoid impulsive or harmful actions.
      GRATITUDE: A feeling or expression of thankfulness or appreciation for something that one has received or experienced. It is a positive emotion that can be directed towards others or towards life in general, and is often associated with feelings of joy, contentment, and well-being. Gratitude can also be a practice, in which individuals consciously focus on the good things in their lives and cultivate a sense of appreciation for them.
      SOBRIETY: The quality of being free from the effects of alcohol or drugs. It can also be used more broadly to describe a lifestyle or attitude that emphasizes moderation, restraint, and self-control.
      MORAL DUTY: The obligation to act in a certain way that is consistent with moral principles or values. It is the responsibility that one has to do what is right and ethical, regardless of personal gain or benefit.
      PATRIOTISM: Patriotism generally refers to the love, devotion, and loyalty that a person feels toward their country. It often includes a sense of pride in one's country, its history, culture, and achievements.
      MINDFULNESS: The state of being present and fully engaged in the current moment, paying attention to one's thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. It involves being non-judgmental and accepting of what is happening in the present moment. Having situational awareness.
      CONSIDERATION: Involves taking into account the needs and feelings of others before making a decision or taking action. It is the act of being thoughtful and showing regard for the well-being of others.
      COURAGE: Involves taking action to protect others in the face of danger or adversity, and being willing to stand up for what is right, even when it is difficult or unpopular. It requires both physical and moral strength, as well as a willingness to take risks and face challenges in order to protect others.
      RESILIENCE: Refers to the ability of an individual or a system to recover from difficult or challenging circumstances. It involves adapting to adversity, maintaining a positive outlook, and bouncing back from setbacks. Resilience can apply to various areas of life, such as personal relationships, health, work, and business. It is not the absence of difficulty or hardship, but rather the ability to cope with and overcome them. Developing resilience can help individuals navigate difficult situations and emerge stronger and more capable.
      THOROUGHNESS: refers to the quality of being meticulous, careful, and precise in carrying out tasks or fulfilling responsibilities. It involves a strong attention to detail and a commitment to ensuring that all necessary steps are taken and all relevant aspects are considered. A thorough person is diligent in their approach, consistently adhering to established procedures, conducting comprehensive checks, and verifying information or results to minimize errors and ensure accuracy.
      PRUDENCE: Someone who is prudent carefully considers all the available information before making a decision or forming an opinion. This involves being open-minded, objective, and patient in gathering and evaluating evidence, and avoiding hasty or impulsive conclusions. Such a person would be able to weigh the pros and cons of different options, assess the potential risks and benefits, and make a well-informed and reasonable judgment.

      I've had mine for about 6 months and all I can say is that if your interested in getting one then get it. I absolutely love mine and I have it with me whenever I'm camping, traveling, it's next to my bed at night. I've always been a Remington 870 guy my whole life but damn this thing is awesome. I have many hanguns, several ARs and AKs and have always wanted a semiauto shotgun so after lots of research and talking to others I decided on the A300 and I haven't regretted it. When I first held one I was suprised at how light it was and how smooth the chamber is. All I can say is I would recommend it for anyone looking for a great tactical semiauto shotgun.

      @@JesterJocular TBH, the Stoeger really isn't in the same league (just my opinion) as the other two; the 940 is more budget-friendly, but it's still pricey, and I could get the Beretta only if I sold my work car. The Stoeger 3k security model was on my short-list against the CZ 712, but they didn't have either at my 1st LGS, so I ended up getting a pump just to avoid leaving the store empty-handed in front of people. Another LGS has both of them, but if I decide to get one it will probably be the CZ. Having said that, you're right about comparing the Good-Enough Stoeger against the Exceptional Mossberg or Beretta.

The video when he made the Sweaty Disabled Idiots comment about the SDI sponsorship, I almost needed to find an oxygen tank to catch my breath after laughing so hard. Also when Charlie made the "that's your sister in college" comment during the Flintlock video, and Mike looked at him and said, "I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about." I lost it.

    A400 and 1301 tactical both use the proprietary beretta CHF steelium barrels and these barrels have forcing cones that are nearly double the length of current standard forcing cones. My a400 extreme is my go to Turkey shotgun. With 3 1/2 magnum loads I can confidently take a gobbler at 60-65 yds. Whereas most shotgun spreads will limit you to about 40-50 yds with great ammo

      Bought both the new Beretta tactical guns and love them both. Both to me rival my Benelli M4 and my Remington 1100 tactical and 1187 tactical. The 1301 is every bit as fast as my Fostec but all these have a new contender, the Mossberg 940 tactical and the 940 JM pro. I’ve really enjoyed my 930 SPX tactical and my 930 JM PRO. The Goose gun 930 JM pro is a wicked 13 round gun. Yeah I love shotguns. I guess at 62 I’m considered an "old man" but this "old man" has first hand knowledge of what a load of 00 buck will do to an assailant. I guess I should just say evil doer. You see a lot patrol a whole county. Anything goes in big rural area, and I do mean ANYTHING. Another great video from a cool ass grand master.

    • @markn4526
      @markn4526 2 месяца назад

      The 1301 is probably the best semi-auto shotgun dollar for dollar, but the A300 Ultima Patrol is quite different from the 1301. Someone mentioned the Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical which is actually more similar to the 1301 (non-Mod.2 version) than Beretta's own A300.

  • @tobization
    @tobization Год назад +121

    I highly recommend adding the 1301 Tactical Lifter (3") Pro Style made by Beretta. Bolts in place perfectly and keeps the loading ramp up and out of the way. Beyond that, add Grovtec's "Hollow Stock Pushbutton Base - GTHM198" so that you can mount your sling to the side of the stock as mentioned in the video. The Patrol is a beast!

      One thing most people don't want to admit with firearms is there is a BIG TIME level of diminishing returns once you hit a certain point when it comes to your money.
      When you buy absolute bottom of the barrel level stuff, it'll show, but once you get into the mid-tier and slightly above, you're not seeing a lot of return for the big time cash you're putting forward. The A300 vs the 1301 (and moreso the M4) is an example of that...yeah, the 1301/M4 is better, but is it a necessity for vast majority of shooters that warrants the extra 40-100% in cost? Not really.
      It's the same with ARs, hunting rifles, 1911s (this one can be especially egregious, I think you're out of your f'n mind to pay 4k or more for a 1911,) plastic fantastics, pumps, etc. I try to avoid the trash tier stuff, but I sit solidly and happily in the mid-level with nearly all of my purchases.
      Hell, the gun of mine that gets the most random compliments is my AR-10...with a PSA upper and lower.
