This video demonstrates the impact of different shotgun chokes on birdshot patterns at 15 yards. It highlights how constricting the choke significantly tightens the shot spread, with reductions in pattern size observed between choke types. The presenter suggests using different chokes on a double-barreled shotgun for varying target distances, such as a wider choke for closer targets and a tighter choke for farther ones.

This video, a "Throwback Thursday" revisiting an older "slugfest" with the Mossberg 590 A1, demonstrates the effectiveness and surprising accuracy of 1 oz. Foster slugs fired from a smoothbore, cylinder-bore shotgun. Hickok45 highlights their utility as a "poor man's rifle" for hunting and defensive applications, showcasing their impact on various targets and discussing their ballistic properties. The video emphasizes that even with a simple bead front sight, accurate shooting is achievable at moderate ranges, challenging common misconceptions about slug performance in smoothbore barrels.

This review of the Stoeger P3000 pump-action shotgun highlights its value proposition as an affordable home defense option. While it offers a 7+1 capacity and a chrome-lined barrel, common for Turkish shotguns, significant design flaws in the forearm are noted, potentially causing pinch hazards and hindering grip. The review compares it to other shotguns like the Benelli Nova and Winchester SXP, ultimately suggesting that while the P3000 is budget-friendly, investing more in a better-designed firearm might be preferable for long-term satisfaction.

This review tests Captor brand 12 gauge buckshot and slugs, noting their affordability at around $4-$5 per box of 10 rounds. The reviewer found the ammunition cycled in multiple pump-action shotguns, though some extraction issues were encountered with a Stevens 350, potentially due to high brass casings. Velocities for slugs averaged 1375 ft/s and buckshot 1360 ft/s.

This video revisits the Mossberg 990 Aftershock, now modified with a SpeedFeed stock for improved handling and shootability. The presenter demonstrates its performance with various buckshot and slug loads, highlighting its compact nature and fast follow-up shots. The modification significantly enhances the firearm's control and accuracy for more serious shooting applications.

This video demonstrates the significant impact of ammunition type and distance on shotgun patterns. It highlights how different loads, from birdshot to slugs, behave uniquely when fired from a cylinder bore shotgun at 10 and 20 yards. The instructor emphasizes the importance of range testing to understand your specific shotgun and ammunition combination for effective application, particularly in defensive scenarios.

This video demonstrates the creation and testing of custom .410 shotgun loads. The instructor details the components used, including foam spacers, 000 buckshot, and 9mm hollow-point slugs, and discusses variations in slug orientation. Testing in a Mossberg 500E cylinder bore shotgun reveals that buck and birdshot loads are effective, while slug performance is less predictable.

This video reviews Panzer Defense 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot, testing its patterning performance at 20 yards with cylinder, modified, and full chokes. The reviewer notes the ammunition's affordability and its potential use for tactical or law enforcement applications. While the cylinder bore choke produced a surprisingly tight pattern, the modified and full chokes showed less consistent results, with some shots deviating from the intended aim point. The reviewer compares the Panzer Defense buckshot to Winchester brand ammunition, finding the latter to pattern significantly tighter.

This video details range testing of reloaded 12 gauge shotgun shells, featuring fiber wad and gas seal variants, in a JC Higgins Model 20 with a choke and a High Standard Riot shotgun. The reviewer assesses shell performance, firearm cycling, recoil, and potential issues arising from reloaded ammunition in different shotgun configurations. Key takeaways include the successful performance of fiber wad loads and challenges encountered with gas seal shells in tapered hulls.

This guide details the field stripping and maintenance procedure for the Mossberg 590 Shockwave in .410 Bore, as demonstrated by an experienced firearms instructor. It covers safe disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, and reassembly, emphasizing the importance of proper technique for reliability. The instructor highlights the unique 'other' firearm classification and its implications for barrel length.

This review covers a Remington 870 Police Magnum 12 Gauge shotgun, a police trade-in model manufactured between 1997 and 2000. The reviewer highlights its robust construction, including an all-steel receiver and barrel, and its utility as a security-style shotgun with a 20-inch cylinder bore barrel and adjustable rifle sights. The firearm is noted for its 7+1 capacity for 2.75-inch shells and 6+1 for 3-inch shells, with a chamber capable of handling magnum loads.

This review covers the Remington Model 31, a side-ejecting pump-action shotgun produced from 1931 to 1949. The presenter highlights its 'ball bearing action' for smooth operation and its takedown feature, which allowed for interchangeable barrels. While marketed as a riot shotgun, this specific 1937 example has an 18-inch barrel and an improved modified choke, deviating from typical riot gun specifications.
