Garand Thumb is starting to feel like it's becoming the Top Gear for fire arms and I'm here for it.
Starting??????? Where have you been the last 5 years + ???
I watch this channel to see what you Americans watch.
@@GardenGuy1942 well, can you blame us? this is pretty entertaining and informational content :)
that is more true than anything I have heard in a whole year. not saying much tho because I work for Uncle Sam.
@@DM-qm5sc I was about to say, I think that’s been the day one vibe 😂
Stumbled on the channel (into bikes, trucks and cars because of lifestyle and work; so algorithm). Not a firearm enthusiast, but enjoyed the explanation and demonstration of the A300 along with the fantastic production value. However, what I really, really enjoyed was the bit at the end about thanking a mentor/role model (dad advice). Reminding viewers to spread positivity by thanking the people in their lives who helped them learn and grow was a super-solid way to end. Highest of fives, sir.
You should definitely stick around because this is the best channel on RUclips
My dude, you found the BEST gun channel. I also stumbled across the FortNine motorcycle channel by accident, so I know how it feels!
Hey, not everyone is perfect. But you can become a firearms enthusiast!
Good point! Positivity is key!
Welcome to the channel, friend! Quality production, fun banter, and dad advice are all staples of Garand Thumb.
Charlie is an absolute scene stealer, and we love him! Great video Mike, Charlie, and Mika !!
I bought an A300 a few months ago. This video pushed me over the tipping point. Excellent stuff as always!
How has it been since you’ve bought it?
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.
@@Mr.Nobody1227 thank you so much
I think the A300 will be my next bedside buddy 😎
That makes two of us
I think my favorite part of these videos is when Charlie absolutely nails the SDI intro in the beginning 😂
Charlie is such a nice guy letting Garand Thumb run his channel and letting him put his name on it.
I concur
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 was here since the early days and I have to say, I completely agree. I do miss the serious review style that he did back in the days, but these newer style videos are much more entertaining to watch.
I handled a Turkinelli and was surprised how heavy it was. Then I handled the A300 and it felt like it was half the weight. I was amazed.
0:44 seeing that Beretta chug through those shells gave me chills. Such a fine piece of machinery.
This is the only gun channel I’m genuinely entertained by. It’s fun and informative without sounding full of itself. Keep it up fellers, you’re doing well.
13:42 feel you buddy
you don't like demo ranch?
What about Brandon Herrera?
Your missing out buddy
Hickok 45 is great, very entertaining as long as you like watching an old man shoot a sub compact pistol better than most can shoot with a rifle lol. I do love garand thumb though. This is my new favorite for some of the drills and some of the professional training videos. The counter tracking “evading a professional army” video is a must watch, and of course the intros for the reviews are freaking hilarious. Very entertaining 😂
I like how as Mike describes the superior aspects of this shotgun, he is literally emitting pure joy. My bf bought this for me for Valentine's Day and I have to say, it brings me pure joy as well. This video is gold.
Do you find the recoil and weight manageable? I'm shopping for my first shotgun.
@@graceyjewels7148very easy to manage. Nice and light and doesn’t recoil hard at all even with 000 buckshot
@@graceyjewels7148hd tactical has it on sale $290 off when code “a300” is used at checkout
The price of them is going to skyrocket now.
Probably, currently Cabelas shows them at 850 to 950
Glad I picked mine up well before this vid lol
@@AK47avtomat lol same here
Nah, it’ll probably stay the same. price increase puts it into 1301 pricing zone.
Lucky, picked up mine for 900
Might be best episode yet due to true friendship. No faking, not acting, just Family. More of this!
As someone who competes in clay competitions with the A400, seeing its tactical little brother with identical controls is making me consider this as my next purchase. Can't recommend the A300 and A400 systems enough, they simply don't fail.
As someone who waterfowl hunts with the a-400, I can attest. Would love to see it in a mud test. I have had a few situations where I had it caked in mud and it ran like nothing happened.
I just got an a300 outlander for shooting clays and bird hunting. I can’t wait to take it out and try it. Literally bought it yesterday.
Pasta cannons are 🤌
@@michaelm9211 I've been hunting with my a300 for 4 years now in rough conditions shooting hundreds of rounds a year. It's flawless, I love it.
I've been planning on getting the retarded cousin the stoeger mk3
9:15 Charles impressed the hell out of me. My man's first attempt and it's freaking fast!
As someone who sold a300s, mainly the bird hunting variants. It's a very good semi-auto, and the price is right. Always sell a bunch during duck season.
I bought one with walnut several years ago, dropped it in a salt water river on the first day of the season.
So you're saying the A300 has BDE; Big Duck Energy
Is it good for Nephelim? Aka Sasquatch and Dogman?
@@terryfaugno9242 Yes
@@YahYesh777wait. So you're telling me squatch & dogmen ARE THE NEPHILIM!??
It's awfully nice that Mike gets to talk so much in Charlie's videos
I don't mind it so much but we could use more Charlie. Like your profile picture
I love videos that include Charlie and Micah. Micah's ability to keep Mike focused and making the video relatable is amazing. Now that leaves us with Charlie, his dry humor, constant insanity and off the wall comments have me laughing so hard that I have to pause the videos constantly. 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.
I own a 1301 and love it, I'm in my sixties and have been using shotguns since I was about twelve but my last two have been Beretta's and they're far and away the best most reliable semi auto shotguns I've owned.
Thanks for the wisdom old man
1201customized owner here.Rocky Mc added MMC Ghost rings silver solder front sight cut the stock down with new sorbane pad.Added hardware for original H&K sling (it was the 90's thing) Ran the "Choke" brand buckshot and Brenneke full power slugs.
This takes The Gauge to a whole new level
Just got one at a show, was surprised at how light it was.
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.
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.
Cinematic gold. Better than 98% of Hollywood movies.
2% checking in. I'm watching.
The Buc-Ee's hoodie at 2:09 is badass!
They’re made by Discrete Ventures
Beretta's on a roll these days. The A300 and 1301 are 2of the top 3 shotguns right now (in my eyes). Plus, the 92x compact is an underrated conceal carry pistol. It's freaking amazing.
Beretta supports pedos these days.
✊
I have a Berreta A300 that I shoot sporting clays with . It cycles almost as quick as a full auto. Best shotgun this oldman has ever owned.
Thanks, bought one today; honestly it made sense once you get it in your hands. The second I held it, I knew I was getting the grey model.
How much they go for $850?
How was your experience???
The trigger was one of the most impressive things imo. Shotguns are known for having bad triggers but damn is the A300 so light and smooth
Yup, measured at 4.5# on my brand new Patrol. It'll only get lighter and smoother.
If you think that's good you should check out the LT1301.
Hmm maybe I'll get this to ward off Trump supporters
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
This is a awesome shotgun for the price. Though I’m kinda surprised garand thumb has never done a video on the Mossberg 590 or Remington 870. Two of Americas top shottys that kinda got overlooked
What's he going to say about those two platforms that hasn't been said a thousand times over already?
A great intro video what else lol
@@stevem4783 but they haven’t had that Garand Thumb touch have they?
Awe actually I pretty sure that he did do both of them in the past, but with the leftest communists that are in charge a lot of older videos had to be taken down so that maybe what happened to them.
Larry Vickers has done some excellent videos on the 870 and the DP-12 that you might want to look into.
No offense meant to you, but the communists, let’s go Brandon.
Have a good one.
Oh InRangeTV has some good videos on Mossberg pumps.
I have a couple 870’s and a handful full of 500’s and a couple 590’s.
I used to have the time to go out shooting with friends and family and if you’re all running the same gun it’s all about who is the better shooter.
@@storytimedavidcollins2897 hell yea brother, yea I know all to well of the commies that run this shot show. I help my brother with his RUclips channel and yea, even his small channel gets a lot of grief. Yea there are a good number of guys that do good vids on the 870/590. I just thought it’d be cool to see one with that Garand touch to it.
Charlie really is the icing on the cake, keep him around! Great video as always
Shot a Beretta A300 throughout high school for clay target, trap, and skeet competitions along with duck and dove hunting. With well over 10,000 rounds through it, only one thing has broke which was the bolt recoil absorber, contacted beretta a few months ago when it broke and they warrantied the part and sent me the part right away, no questions asked.
Great bit of dad advice! I recently did exactly that. It meant the world to them, and it felt great for me to get it out in the world. There shouldn't be enough time in the day for negative BS. Thanks for the great video guys! I appreciate you all!
3,000 rds!!! Wow. And still going strong.
That right there tells you everything you need to know. Good job, Beretta!
And it tells you how much Beretta spent for the marketing... Not saying it is not a good shotgun...
I heard a instructor has a panzer with 82000 rounds and still going strong.he shot a cheap Chinese lynx 7000 before the piston rod broke
3000 rounds is nothing in the shotgun world... Trap shooting, sporting clays, dove hunting etc. I recall back in the 90's I shot sporting clays one Saturday morning with a guy who had over 90k rounds through his ruger red label and the gun was still in spectacular condition. Shotguns operate at less than 1/3 the chamber pressure of a typical rifle which makes a huge difference...
TFB just did a review on this. I think that, outside of a duty-use purpose, the A300 would be the best Beretta shotgun choice for most people. The 1301 is better overall, but you pay for it.
Ive heard about some issues with the A300 on lower pressure loads, but I dont have any good data.
"outside of a duty-use purpose", idk I don't think spending 600 to a 1000 more for a 1301 or M4 is worth it for LEO either.
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.
A300 or the new 940 are the best budget semi autos on the market. Shooting both, I think you can run the 300 slightly faster but the 940 I still haven't cleaned after 800 rounds and it's just trucking along
@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz Isnt that problem with almost every autoloading shotguns to
not work with light payloads.
1:47 you did this.. you did this..the freaking out is top notch bro.. flame on
I was trying to decide between the A300, 1301, and M4 but honestly this sells it for me. The 1301 and M4 are now so close in price but double the A300 (esp with all of these adjusted for inflation in Cali), so thanks for the review.
The intro for the 1301 video is one of my favorites but this one didn't disappoint. The sharp transition from crying dramatic mike to casual charlie was on point.
Just bought mine today, can't wait to take it for a spin, it feels like a piece of art.
It's lighter and faster than a Benelli M4
i was looking at these yesterday. apparently the universe is confirming that i need one.
I have an old A300 for hunting, love it, I've only ever had one jam and it was with questionable ammo, so I wont blame the weapon, but I'm glad to see a more modern take on the platform
I'm so glad that you're reviewing this. I bought one of these this winter when they first came out. I love mine!
I have a Mossberg 930spx and I have had ZERO issues with it. It’s fast and easy to clean and goes bang every time I pull the trigger. My buddy has a 1301 and it’s smooth as well with slightly more recoil with full power loads which is all we shoot anyway and have because slugs and buck is all that matters in a shotgun IMO.
Slugs and buck is the way to go for a defense/tactical shotgun.....using birdshot in a gun like that is bizarre to me, even if it is just range ammo.
A great comparison video would be the Baretta A300 Patrol versus the Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical. Both are similar configuration and price, aimed at the same market.
Brilliant take.
There is no competition with the a300 tactical under 1k in the "tactical shotgun" genre, to say the least...
Is Mossberg even making anymore 940 tacticals bc they're more scarce than federal le buck
@@johnforealdoe8999 They're making them as fast as they can, but they're selling out even faster.
@@memyself637 my cousin just found one, very excited to see it
If there's any questions about the A300 barrel, just look at the thermal shock that a duck gun goes through in a heavy season...barrel failures are extremely rare, even in that harsh environment.
I got the chance to help do some of the testing for this gun. We couldn't get it to fail in the range!
loveeee these new videos man i think they are really branching out to other crowds outside of the gun community ..keep it up !! make people see guns are fun !!
I completely agree with your view on training. I own an older mossberg 500 and I train every day with dummy rounds and fairly often with live ammo. I run through drills of clearing the whole house one room at a time. Yeah sure maybe I would be better with a semi auto shotgun but what realy matters is that I train. God bless you.
Glad to see Charlie is back and providing quality content
you guys are having way toooo much fun, keep s it up. Nice to see Beretta putting out a hot well made shotgun for under a grand. get it? a garand . i crack myself up
Picked one up last week. My rear QD socket was correct from the factory and I had no issues with it so hopefully they've fixed that issue moving forward. I have a holosun 503 on the way and I'll probably throw it on an Aridus CROM. Rocking a Magpul sling and streamlight protac for now until I can upgrade because I had them on hand
I somehow managed to snag one of these after this video was released. The garand thumb effect is a thing, reviews something under a grand and accessible to most people’s budget? It becomes a specter, a ghost in the machine, unobtainable.
Garand Thumb loves his Beretta A300 patrol. Hes put out so many videos on this one you can tell
If Mike and Micah are the salt and pepper to each video, Charlie is the garlic powder... He just makes everything better!
Quite possibly, the most kick-ass & beautiful shotgun shooting that I've seen this year!
Kudos!!

7:09 is my favorite part of any gun tube video. That is all.
So many great moments this video. Excellent shooting, Charlie. Micah, you almost made me choke laughing on the Mozambique’s second round. 🤣
The intro’s keep getting better and better!
The Garand Thumb killing paper cutout Garand thumb bit, was next level legendary content.
Hey Garand, thanks for taking the time to do these budget videos. I was wondering if you would ever consider doing a budget knife video? Either way, love the videos keep em coming.
I loved my A300 Ultima hunting gun until the trigger broke. Researched it on the internet and that is a common problem. Beretta did send me a new trigger group, so I'm happy about that, I just hope they fixed the problem so it doesn't happen again.
i heard they have fixed that. think they had a manufacture defect in the trigger group that has been taken care of since then.
Just bought the Tiger Stripe Cammo Edition! Glad I made the commitment.
Love the Beretta A300 Ultima shotguns have shot a friends and it’s a blast but nothing will ever replace my Mossberg 590 for serious shotgun work.
This episode had me and my 14 year old son crying laughing!
You guys are brilliant, hilarious even! Awesome shot gun and run video!
Just recently cerakoted a duck hunters A300 and hes used it for 6 seasons. He shot around 6,000 birds across the country. Easily shot over 10k shells through it. Granted it was in rough shape, it was still a serviceable weapon. Definitely a rugged & well built shotgun!
I know this is late but GG+G makes a RMR footprint mount for the a300. It replaces the Picatinny rail. It lowers the red dot far enough to co-witness.
That rotating bolt on the 1301 though...I'm not Jerry Mic though, they both probably fire faster than me.
Informative (and entertaining) video! The A300 Ultima Patrol is undoubtedly a fine tactical semi-auto shotgun, but keep in mind that it's designed to hit a specific price point. Often referred to as a "budget model", it's unfair to compare it to a 1301 and very unfair to compare it to a 1301 Mod.2. Some features of the A300 are really excellent, so much so, that Beretta carried them over to the redesigned 1301 Mod.2, like the loading gate and forend, while other features, besides the obvious, are cost cutting measures. An example is the barrel clamp. It's not torqued down tight from the manufacturer because it's cheesy plastic and would probably crack. The plasticky mag tube extension is also questionable as are the non-adjustable ghost sights. These parts can be easily upgraded though, albeit at additional expense. Still, it's a fine shotgun. I'd like to see a head-to-head comparison with Mossberg's 940 Pro Tactical which has a similar price point and has functionality more similar to the 1301.
As an update to the points that I made in my earlier comment that was posted before I actually checked-out an A300UP in person. Since then, I checked one out and bought one a week later. First, the cheesiness of the plasticky components was way over criticized by some reviewers. Yes, the A300UP has plastic/polymer components, but they seem to be of high quality. Next, the situation with the barrel clamp movement has hopefully been corrected by Beretta in their more recent production by adding ridges/indents on the magazine tube cover to prevent the clamp from sliding. The loading port is amazing. The non-adjustable ghost sights seem to be of high quality and after shooting the shotgun seem pretty well dialed in from the factory up to 25+ yards on mine. I would prefer them to be adjustable, but that may be a moot point for me as I am considering adding a red dot. If not, I may replace the rear sight with an adjustable LPA ghost ring sight. The conclusion is that there is no way that I would call the A300UP a "budget model" shotgun.
I was also able to compare the A300UP side-by-side to the Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical. To me there was no comparison, both being similarly priced, with the Beretta being superior in every way.
your upset rick acting was on point LOL
Not into Shotguns but this is pretty sick!
Shotguns are the multi-tool of the gun world. Everyone should have one. I'm about to get one. Join us.
No one is saying you gotta fuck 'em Justin
That’s pretty gay of you
Guess you're not into women either. It's cool, we still accept you.
I wasn't into shotguns until I said fuck it and bought an M4. Now I'm a fangirl. It's my home defense gun, my turkey gun, duck gun, and my next goal is to bag a deer with it.
Acting. Education. Comedy. Action. Poetry. Flossing. This video has it all. A whole volume of an encyclopedia all stacked into 31 minutes.
How to tell if someone has been playing too much Call of Duty: when they double tap on a target with a 12g shotgun.
That’s what you do in military drills. Like actual ones. You shoot twice holster then repeat
If you're gonna buy one, have them load a couple rounds at the store and unload them. They are selling these with a known lifter issue. If the last shell is getting jamed, it's got the issue. Waiting at least 10 weeks to get it back after shooting once.
No headshots, those zombies are still kicking
What's the world war z line where he says it's better to put em on the ground and finish them later. That's what your comment reminded me of for some reason lol.
The acting and production is top notch, I just pissed myself laughing
Damn In 5 months my man Micheal Jones has gone ham with the tattoos. Haven't read any of the comments to see if anyone has asked the same question and if Mr. Garand Thumb has answered. Just a nosy subscriber who enjoys the content you keep bringing
Doomguy needs it.
Doomguy might be getting tired of his Triple Threat.
I'm spreading out 4 shotguns in the house. I've got pistols on magnets all over, but in a rush, nothing beats a face full of 00. Things are getting pretty bad and it will only get worse...before it gets even worse. I have 1 Benelli M4; but by the time you expand its potential, you got a fortune invested in it. So I am going with Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol shotguns for the other 3. It would be nice to have all the guns the same, unless you are a gun fondler.
You can tell gun fondlers, they change their CCW like they change their shoes. Sameness is best for being able to switch seamlessly between guns. I can't afford to be a gun fondler. But I will have to wait for the lotto to kick in to have 4 Benelli M4's that are set up in full combat mode.
In between the Benelli M4 and the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol is the Beretta 1301 Tactical. It is a nice gun, but is only slightly lower in cost than a Benelli. Although it does not have to be tricked out like the Benelli to have its full tactical potential unleashed. Anyway, if I had the dough for the 1301, I'd just spend a few bucks extra and go with the M4. That would be if money is no object.
I've tried lots of shotguns over the years. Nothing compares to the Benelli M4. It is the Rolex of semi-auto tactical shotguns. But the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol is a lot more affordable and is still a decent option. Plus the Beretta is ready to go out of the box, with mag extension and even some M-LOK capability. But they sure use lots of plastic on that Beretta. If Glock built a shotgun...it would be the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol. You can think of the Berretta like that. If you are too broke for the Benneli or Beretta, then get a high-class Turkish clone of the M4. Break em in and test them out. As things go further to hell, I may have to save up for a Benelli Titanium Cerakote for the bathroom. Too steamy in there!
Pat McNamara would never go for spreading out your guns like this. But that is how I do it. I'm never more than a few feet from a gun. The only place I carry at home is in the sauna and CCW. When things go further to hell, then I will carry while putting out the trash. Other than that, the guns are all spread out and ready to go. (Although I don't keep a round in the shotguns, just the pistols. Shotguns have to be charged to shoot...as of now.)
Love your content Mike, Micha, and Charlie. Had me cracking up the whole time. I learned some things too. Charlie has a Maverick 88, and i do too. But im liking the Beretta a300 more than the Moss 940. Decisions 😟
Why do you need to outpace a shotgun? If 3 shots of 00buck doesn’t kill it I think ur screwed anyway?
Had no idea you guys were funny. Thanks for teaching and entertaining at the same time. I’m in the market for my first shotgun, didn’t think it could be fun on the range.
I'm loving your recent content man, the drill stuff is so much fun to watch.
Those misses on the Mozambique absolutely crush the “you don’t have to aim” myth about shotguns for home defense. Thanks!
Here in Canada we're getting a watered down (4+1 capacity) 1301, no extender, no barrel clamp, shorter mag tube. And price close to or same as a 1301 on sale. Fubar!
@9:15 Mr.Garand informin' us 'bout the cautions of going too deep
Knuckles, no Sonic
The opening scene was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
The oversized controls came from the a300 ultima that's made for hunting, easier to operate them in the field with gloves on. I have the "regular" version of the a300 ultima and it's a beast. Might have to get one of these bad boys so my duck gun has a buddy in the gun safe.
I love how no matter what innovations come in like LPVO, FRTs, VFGs, ect.
Shotguns just evolve into better shotguns until they basically become indoor artillery.
[Edit]: Damn Thumb seems like he practiced that Rick cry 😂😂😂😂
I love when you turn around like Batman. Like you don’t turn your head. Keep doing that and your wildest youtube dreams will come true.
Beretta eccellenza italiana 🇮🇹🇮🇹
bresciana
I’ve been on the fence.. this review put me over. I’m getting one. Thanks guys
A reciprocating handle is an absolute NO-GO! HOOAH!
That's every semi auto shotgun
Damn.... Charlie shooting and moving like a pro, zipping around
U guyz r F'n hilarious! Love the humor w/the learning! Bravo!
Intro was actually great acting. I am very pleased.
Every shotgun video from now on needs to have the poem
Love my Beretta. Finally had to really clean it last fall. Not just the garden hose and RemOil. Duck Stacker.
First time watcher. Cool videos. Like the energy
Wow, You’re the only other person I know to have a Maruzen MP5K GBB. I also have the Marui Knights Armaments SR-16 and WE strayer voight Infinity pistol. I’ve 28yrs of Airsoft too. Great video 👌🏻
I’ve come across a guy named Sootch. Really informative and professional.
Charles proves smooth is fast and Berretta send him one
5:53 "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast"
"I have pretty rough hands, ha, god that was gross" 😂😂
That intro could've been the whole video and I would've been satisfied
God i love this channel. Shit ive been watching this for almost 5 years now.
